    Early access. The app doesn't include a server: it connects to a MovieClaw server you've set up separately.

    How to install
    1. Download and run the installer. Prefer not to install? Get the portable ZIP, unzip it, and open the app.
    2. The installer isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway.
    3. Open the app, enter your MovieClaw server address, and sign in.

Mac Transcoder

When your NAS can't keep up, let your Mac handle transcoding. Your movies stay on the NAS.

Install guide

Server

One Docker container runs everything, with no separate database. Works on x86_64 and ARM64.

docker run -d --name movieclaw --init -p 3000:3000 \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -v "$(pwd)/data:/app/data" \
  -v /srv/media:/media \
  -v /srv/downloads:/downloads \
  movieclaw/movieclaw:latest

Replace the paths left of each colon with your own media and download folders, then open http://<host IP>:3000.
