How Stremio works
Stremio is a free app that looks like Netflix — but you choose where the movies and shows come from. Here's the whole picture in a few minutes.
The 30-second version
streams
the file
You press play in Stremio. It asks your AIOStreams addon for available streams. AIOStreams pulls a fast, ready-to-watch copy from TorBox and hands it back. You watch — no downloads, no setup, no torrent clients.
The pieces, explained
Stremio
The player. A free app for phone, computer, TV and tablet with a clean, Netflix-style interface. On its own it has no content — addons give it superpowers.
AIOStreams
Your personal addon. It searches lots of sources at once, ranks them by quality, and sends the best streams to Stremio — already wired up to TorBox for you.
TorBox
The engine room. A paid “debrid” service that keeps high-speed, ready-to-stream copies of media. Your key is what unlocks fast, reliable playback.
What's “debrid”? Think of TorBox as a giant, super-fast locker that already holds the file you want. Instead of downloading slowly from many strangers, you stream one quick copy straight from the locker. That's why it's instant and smooth.

Press play
Search for any movie or show, open it, and pick a stream from the list. Higher quality sits at the top. That's it — enjoy.
What you'll see
Once the addon is installed, Stremio looks just like any streaming app — but when you open a title, your addon fills in the list of playable streams:

Good to know
Do I need to keep my manifest link? +
Yes — save it somewhere safe. It's tied to your account, so you'll need it again if you reinstall Stremio or add a new device. Treat it like a password.
Which devices work? +
Stremio runs on Android, iPhone/iPad, Windows, Mac, Linux, Android TV, and many smart TVs. Sign in with the same account and your addon follows you everywhere.
Why do I need a TorBox key? +
TorBox is what makes playback fast and reliable. Your key links your personal addon to your TorBox account so streams load instantly. It's validated when you redeem and never shared.
Is my key safe? +
Your key is used only to build your profile and is stored securely — it's never displayed back to anyone, including you. If you ever want out, the admin can revoke your profile at any time.
It's not working — now what? +
Make sure you're signed into Stremio, the addon shows under Addons, and your TorBox subscription is active. Still stuck? Ask whoever sent you the invite to re-issue one.
