Helmarr
A self-hosted Media & Streaming app you can run on your own server.
Helmarr is a self-hosted media and streaming application that you run on your own server instead of renting it as a cloud service. Running it yourself keeps the data on your own network and lets you back it up however you like.
It is a closed-source product that supports self-hosted deployment, which is why it appears in this directory. It is listed as a companion app — a tool that extends or helps you manage a self-hosted service rather than replacing it. It is available for iOS.
Before you switch
Media servers live or die by transcoding performance and library organisation. Check the hardware-acceleration support for your GPU or NAS, and test with a small library first. Most tools scan standard folder structures automatically, so tidy naming pays off quickly.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Helmarr is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
