Stitch · Self-hosted Probe
Your library,
every screen.
A media server that runs on a Raspberry Pi, with players for Fire TV, Samsung TVs, Android, iPhone and Mac. Your folders become rows. Continue watching follows you from the living room to the kids’ tablet. No account with anyone, including us.
Noted. One email when Stitch ships, nothing else.
Runs our own house since September · public version only if enough people want it
What it does
Less than Plex. On purpose.
Folders are the library
No metadata scraping, no wrong posters. A folder is a row; its subfolders are shows; the files are the episodes, in order.
Every screen in the house
Fire TV, Samsung Tizen, Android phones and tablets, iPhone, Mac. The same rows, the same place you left off.
Continue watching, everywhere
Position syncs through the server, so the episode paused in the living room resumes on the tablet.
A Pi is enough
One Raspberry Pi serves the house. Direct play of what the client can decode, including 10-bit HEVC on the Mac.
Kids’ devices, kids’ rows
A device sees only the folders you point it at. No profiles to switch, nothing to unlock.
Yours
No account with us, no cloud, no telemetry. Your disk, your network, your TV.
When
If enough people want it.
Stitch runs our household every evening. A public version needs an installer, docs and five store listings. The list is the vote.
Requirements. A Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 (or any Linux box) and a disk of your own videos. Clients install from the stores, or by sideload on Fire TV.

Questions
Questions
Why not Jellyfin or Plex?
They are good and large. Stitch is small: folders, rows, play, resume. If you have fought a metadata scraper for an evening, you know why.
Does it stream over the internet?
At home, on your network. Remote access is your VPN, not our servers.
Why a probe?
Five client platforms are a lot to support. The list tells us whether enough people want this before we promise it.
