Local-first media server

Your whole media library, ready instantly.

BurnFlix turns movies, shows, personal videos, games, and apps into one polished library that loads from local cache while scans keep working in the background.

Offline-first cache Metadata enrichment No AI generation TV-ready browsing

Your local collection, upgraded. Movies. TV. Files. Games. Apps. One living room-ready interface.
No waiting on every reload. BurnFlix opens from a persisted snapshot while refresh work runs in the background.
No AI generation. Recommendations come from genres, most watched media, and patterns in your personal library.

Built for real libraries

Everything you watch, play, and keep, organized in one place.

BurnFlix scans your folders, enriches titles with provider metadata, caches artwork locally, and gives you clean sections for every kind of personal media.

Designed for background work

Add media and keep browsing while BurnFlix handles the messy parts.

Scans, metadata lookup, artwork caching, and cache updates happen without turning startup into a waiting room.

01

Load from snapshot

The last known complete library renders immediately from local cache, even before the scanner finishes.

02

Refresh in the background

New files appear, removed files reconcile after successful scans, and scan errors do not wipe your library.

03

Library-based recommendations

Suggestions are generated from your genres, most watched titles, and the shape of your own collection, not AI generation.

04

Choose the right artwork

Provider covers, backdrops, logos, screenshots, app assets, and video thumbnails stay cached and selectable.

Personal files

Video thumbnails and clean browsing for your own recordings.

BurnFlix can extract thumbnails from real video files and display them beside movies and shows.

Games and apps

Steam, retro platforms, emulator readiness, approved apps, and artwork all live inside BurnFlix.
