Built for the desktop

Everything around the video,
without getting in its way.

Stream GUI RS keeps Twitch discovery compact and gives native process control to the backend—while video stays in a dedicated media player.

Fast Twitch discovery

Browse followed channels, live streams and categories. Search, open exact channel names, visit teams, and keep local bookmarks without turning the interface into a website clone.

Your player, your setup

Use Streamlink’s default, mpv, VLC or a custom executable, with reusable player profiles.

Credentials stay native

Twitch tokens remain in Rust and the operating system’s secure store—not in the web interface, logs, settings or player arguments.

Sessions you control

Run multiple streams, then stop or restart them individually. Optional tray controls and followed-live notifications keep the app useful in the background.

Looks like your desktop

Free and open source

Bring your player.
We’ll handle the rest.
