What it does

Everything you watch and listen to, in one place.

From the first search to a fully organized library — without the busywork.

Search every source at once

Point GhostWire at the sources you want, then search them all from one bar. Results are ranked by seeders, size, and quality, so the best match is always first.

Stream while it downloads

Press play and start watching in seconds — no waiting for the full file. Formats a browser can't decode are transcoded on the fly, with smooth seeking throughout.

A library that organizes itself

Finished downloads land in a clean, browsable library — movies, TV, anime, and music sorted automatically and ready to play again any time.

Box art for everything

Posters and covers for movies, TV, anime, games, and albums are fetched and cached for you automatically — a tidy, poster-perfect grid with zero setup.

Keyless and private

No account, no sign-in, no API keys to paste. GhostWire runs on your machine and only ever touches the sources you choose to add.

Native on every desktop

Real builds for macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel), Windows, and Linux — lightweight, fast, and kept current by a built-in auto-updater.

A closer look

Built to feel like the streaming apps you already love.
