What is Kodi?
Kodi brings a personal media collection into a full-screen interface designed for televisions and remote controls. On a Mac, it can browse and play video, music and other media from local files, network storage and configured online sources. Movie and TV libraries organize collections into browsable views, while skins let you change the interface.
Kodi does not include movies, TV channels or other media sources. You supply your own content or configure third-party services; live TV and recording depend on a compatible backend. It is a media center, not a bundled streaming subscription.
The linked package is Kodi 21.3 Omega for Apple Silicon Macs, supplied as an ARM64 DMG. The publisher also lists a separate Intel x86_64 build. The gallery image illustrates an older Kodi live-TV interface from Softonic's Mac page; it does not establish the appearance of version 21.3 or the availability of the channels shown.
What it offers
- Browse and play movies, music and other digital media from local and network storage.
- Organize TV shows with season and episode views, watched tags, posters and descriptions.
- Play music formats including MP3, FLAC, WAV and WMA.
- Change the interface with skins and control playback with supported remotes.
- Watch and record live TV when configured with a compatible backend such as Tvheadend or NextPVR.
Good to know
- No media content or sources are included; you must supply content or configure third-party services.
- Live TV and recording require a compatible backend; pictured channels are illustrative, not included services.
- This ARM64 download is for Apple Silicon Macs, not Intel Macs; Intel users need the separate x86_64 package.
