Cinaura vs Infuse

Common questions

Is there an Infuse for Android TV?

Infuse itself is Apple only, so it does not run on Android TV. Cinaura is the closest equivalent for Android TV: a no-server, library-first player that organises your content beautifully, with native debrid and cloud support.

Does Infuse work on Android?

No. Infuse is built for iOS, tvOS and macOS only. If you are on an Android TV device, Cinaura gives you a similar no-server, calm library experience on the platform you actually use.

What does Cinaura do that Infuse doesn't?

Two things stand out: it runs on Android TV, and it has native support for debrid services like RealDebrid and TorBox. It is also free.

Is Cinaura free?

Yes. The app is free, with no ads and no subscription. It is an independent project focused on a calm, private media library for Android TV.
