Curatio Media Player
Entertainment
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your media, your way.
Curatio is a premium player for the library you already own. Bring your own server and the sources you already use — Curatio gives them a beautiful, cinematic home on Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad. It hosts nothing and tracks nothing. Your library stays entirely yours.
Powered by a custom mpv engine with HDR10 and HLG, Curatio plays your video the way it was mastered. On Apple TV it matches your TV's refresh rate and dynamic range automatically. On iPhone and iPad it matches ProMotion frame-for-frame.

YOUR SERVER, YOUR SOURCES
Connect your own media server and the addons you already use. Curatio is the player — what you watch, and where it comes from, is entirely up to you. Nothing is hosted for you, and nothing is tracked.
ONE APP, EVERY SCREEN
iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, with your profiles, history, and watchlist always in sync via iCloud.
Your media. Your way.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• Faster start. Curatio no longer waits for the whole Home screen before opening, and your last Home screen is kept for up to a week so it's there the moment you launch.
• Home loads row by row. With an up-to-date Curatio server, the first rows appear right away and the rest fill in as you scroll. A row that fails to load offers its own Try Again.
• Home holds steady. New recommendations no longer reshuffle the page while you're scrolled into it.
• Clearer Search errors. When the connection fails or times out, Search now says so and offers Try Again instead of showing no results.
• Artwork recovery. Posters that fail to load are retried, and a failed download no longer leaves a blank poster behind.
• Fixes: faster profile switching, and titles listed as both a movie and a series now open as the right one.
