Wolf Launcher, if you don't want to deal with the shitty stock launcher.

CloudStream is good if you watch anime.

The folks on r/piracy seem to like an app called Stremio, but I haven't got that one set up yet.

I have a Jellyfin client.

SmartTube Next is an ad free Youtube client for the firestick.

And then I also have Kanopy and Hoopla which let me access media via my public library card.

Stremio is almost like “piracy, the streaming service.”

It sequentially downloads torrents, on demand, in such a way that you can stream the content without ever having downloaded it.

It’s available on most app stores (though the iOS offering doesn’t have streaming, because Apple.)

Edit: I mean the file doesn’t get saved, it just pulls down the data it needs, uses it, then deletes it. When you’re done, the torrent data isn’t actually on disk.
