What Flux changes
Flux patches the local Stremio desktop app files needed to load the Flux home-screen UI.
It adds local Flux settings for row choices, thumbs, recommendations, and download manager state.
Safety and restore
Know what changes before you install.
Flux is a local desktop UI patch for Stremio. It does not include streams, media, add-ons, debrid, or subscriptions.
What Flux backs up
The installer creates a local backup before patching so the restore script can put Stremio back.
Keep the ZIP folder until you have confirmed Stremio opens normally.
How to restore
Mac: open Uninstall Flux for Stremio.command.
Windows: run uninstall.ps1 in PowerShell.
If Stremio opens blank, restore first. Do not reinstall repeatedly on top of a broken state.
What Flux never adds
No sources, no catalogs, no streams, no movies, no shows, no debrid, and no subscriptions are included.
If something fails
Run the restore script, then send the OS, Stremio version, Flux version, screenshot, and diagnose report to support.
Before posting a bug
Confirm whether Stremio itself opens after restore. That tells us whether the issue is Flux, Stremio, or the local install state.
