Released October 7, 2026. Free on every platform, with no account. Pick yours below; installing takes a minute.
Installs for your Windows user, with no administrator rights. The installer is not code-signed yet, so the first run shows “Windows protected your PC”: choose More info, then Run anyway.
Tested on the NVIDIA Shield; other devices are not verified yet. Install the APK until the store listings are out. Most phones, tablets and TV boxes need the 64-bit file.
One app bundle in a ZIP, with nothing to install. The build is not signed or notarised yet, so macOS asks you to allow the first launch once.
There is no App Store listing yet. The IPA is unsigned: you sign it with your own Apple Account on a computer, and a free account’s signature lasts seven days. Download it on a computer; Safari cannot install an IPA.
Help test Android. We are putting a tester group together for the Google Play listing. Send the address your Google Play account uses to hello@lumen.movie and we will add you.
Run the installer to get started. Uninstall from Windows Settings → Apps.
Open the file you downloaded. Windows shows “Windows protected your PC” because the installer is not code-signed yet.
To be sure the file is ours, compare its SHA-256 with the one above before you run it.
It starts from the Start menu. Nothing is written outside your user profile.
Lumen.exe | the app |
lumen-relay.exe | optional: run your own sync server |
libmpv-2.dll | the playback engine, with the app’s runtime files |
THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md | notes and licenses |
Everything lands in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Lumen. Uninstalling removes only what the installer put there.
certutil -hashfile Lumen-1.0.6-Setup-x64.exe SHA256Sideloading, from the device itself or from a computer. Android asks once for permission; that is normal.
Open it from the download notification or your file manager.
Android asks the first time; allow it, then tap Install.
Updates work the same way: install the new APK over the old one.
Anywhere the TV can reach.
Choose Install. Lumen appears in the launcher, built for the remote.
Or from a computer on the same network, with Developer options and network debugging turned on on the TV:
adb connect <tv-ip-address>
adb install lumen-1.0.6-arm64-v8a.apkUnzip it, move the app to Applications, and allow the first launch. Nothing is installed outside the app bundle.
Lumen.app appears beside it. Drag it into your Applications folder.
macOS refuses it the first time and says why.
System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, choose Open Anyway beside the message about Lumen, and confirm.
Lumen.app | the app, one binary for Apple silicon and Intel |
Mpv.framework | the playback engine, with FFmpeg, inside the bundle |
Settings and your library live in your user Library folder. Dragging Lumen to the Trash removes the app. Updates: replace Lumen.app with the newer one.
The IPA is unsigned, so you sign it with your own Apple Account on a computer, then install it on the device. The signature is made on your computer, with your account; nothing about it reaches us.
Not on the phone.
AltStore and Sideloadly both sign with an Apple Account, on macOS and Windows.
Trust the computer when asked, sign in with your Apple Account in the tool, choose the IPA, and let it install.
On iOS 16 and newer: Settings → Privacy & Security → Developer Mode, then restart when asked.
Settings → General → VPN & Device Management, tap your Apple Account under Developer App and choose Trust.
Allow it to find devices on your local network: that is how it pairs and works as a remote.
With a free account, sign it again every seven days (AltStore can refresh it over Wi-Fi). With a developer account the signature lasts a year. A new version installs over the old one.
One JSON file carries every URL, checksum and size, so nothing has to scrape this page.
https://dl.lumen.movie/releases/latest.jsonhttps://dl.lumen.movie/releases/1.0.6.jsonThe feed carries the version, the build number, the release date, a link to the notes, and the URL, SHA-256 and size of every file. It is mirrored on this site at /releases/latest.json.
A winget package (Lumen.Lumen) is prepared and will be listed here once it is accepted into the community repository.
Older releases stay downloadable, and the licenses page keeps the engine sources for each of them.
