If you’ve got any Apple devices you may be wondering what apps are available to use for all your film and TV needs aside from the usual mainstream streaming apps.
Stremio Lite has released on iOS, but it isn’t as good as the Android app at the moment.
One that’s currently in TestFlight at the moment is Fusion. It’s extremely polished, includes two way Trakt sync, includes built in support for Trakt lists, full stremio addon integration and works across all of your Apple devices.
Not only that, it has its own metadata addons built in natively. These include TMDB and TVDB, and it has AI search built in too.
Don’t just take my word for it, try it yourself now. I’ve included links to everything you need to get started. Including the app itself, discord server link for any help you may need, and a link to aiostreams to manage your addons.
One important thing to note: torrenting is not allowed on Apple devices. This means you’ll need to pay for a debrid service.
Options:
- Real Debrid – popular, but has restrictions (one IP at a time, no account sharing).
- TorBox – no such restrictions, so you can share with friends and family.

Quick Setup Guide
Getting started
Step 0 (Optional)
Enable iCloud Sync in Settings to back up data across devices (it syncs only catalogs and addons for the moment).
Step 1
Go to Settings and:
1. Connect your Trakt account
2. Enable TMDB (built-in) for metadata (Settings > TMDB > press on “Activate TMDB)
3. Skip installing metadata/catalog add-ons — TMDB built-in is more than enough
Step 2
1. Go to Library
2. Long-press a Trakt list
3. Tap "Add to Catalogs"
4. Go to Settings > Catalogs to toggle visibility on the homepage
5. To remove a list: long-press it again → Delete
Step 3
The Up Next and Upcoming sections pull your Trakt watch history. If nothing appears here’s what to do:
Go to Settings > Trakt and:
- Set Sync Interval to 1 min
- Enable Sync After Playback
- Enable Sync on App Launch
If these sections take a while to load, it’s usually because your Trakt watch history is very large (hundreds of items). But don’t worry. Go to:
→ Settings > Home Screen
→ Under both "Configure Up Next Row" and "Configure Upcoming Row"
→ Set the history limit to 10 items for the fastest performance.
Step 4
Add your legally acquired content to the resources page when you hit “Play”
- Go to Settings > Add-ons
- Paste a add-on URL
→
The link must start with `https://`- Tap "Add Add-on"
- That’s it!
Why can't I find resource results?
Fusion is built to be reliable and independent.
- It works best with TMDB built-in metadata and Trakt/AI-generated lists
- Add-ons using only TMDB IDs may not work well (Fusion prefers tt IDs)
Another reasons why you can‘t find resources for streaming is because of invalid or missing add-on URLs that can prevent content from showing
→ Only use URLs starting with `https://`
Use legally acquired content or connect to a licensed provider.
Step 5
Playback. Fusion doesn’t include an internal video player. Most of them are limited or unreliable, so Fusion lets you choose your preferred external app in this regard.
1. Go to Settings > Video Player
2. Choose one of the supported players:
- Infuse (recommended, with Trakt sync)
- VLC
- VidHub
- SenPlayer
