Common questions

What's the difference between Cinaura and Stremio?

Stremio is a search tool. You look something up, stream it, and move on. Cinaura is a library. It takes the content from your own sources and organises it into a permanent, curated collection with posters and metadata that you own and keep.

Does Cinaura have add-ons like Stremio?

No. Instead of add-ons, you connect your own sources, such as RealDebrid, TorBox, cloud storage and network shares. Cinaura then builds a library from what you have, rather than searching across community add-ons.

Can I use my debrid service with Cinaura?

Yes. Cinaura supports RealDebrid, TorBox, AllDebrid and Premiumize, and presents your content as an organised library rather than a flat list of search results.

Is Cinaura better than Stremio?

They are built for different jobs. If you want quick search and one-off streaming, Stremio is great. If you want a calm, permanent library you own and browse on your TV, that is what Cinaura is for. Many people use both.

From a search bar to a library.
