A local-first media library
Plex alternative
Hunting for a Plex alternative that doesn't phone home? BurnFlix is a local-first media server: your movies, shows, personal videos — even games and apps — in one polished, TV-ready library that belongs entirely to you.
The design premise is different from cloud-tethered servers: BurnFlix opens instantly from a persisted local snapshot while scans keep working in the background, so the library is never blocked on a rescan or a remote check-in. Metadata enrichment is built in; AI generation is deliberately not.
BurnFlix is currently in development. The release will appear on this site when it's ready.
