How it works
Three steps, no setup.
-
Step 1
Open the page
Use the built-in browser exactly as you would any other: address bar, navigation, history and saved pages.
-
Step 2
Pick the stream
Ekrivo groups the variants it finds and recommends the best one, with resolution, format and subtitles shown plainly.
-
Step 3
Watch on TV
One tap on Cast to TV. You are asked to choose a receiver only when no session is running.
Features
Everything casting needs, nothing it doesn’t.

Photos and videos
Send a video or a photo straight from your phone through the Android picker — no upload, no account.
Full cast controls
Cast button, mini controller, expanded player, notification and lock screen, volume and reconnect after a network change.
Built for everyone

Media found on the open page, grouped and ranked.
Your receivers and the running session in one place.

Privacy
No ads, no account, privacy-first.
Ekrivo works on your phone and your local network. History and saved pages stay on the device, and you can clear browsing data at any time.
No ads
No full-screen ads and nothing injected into the pages you browse.
Reliability diagnostics
Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics help improve reliability. Crash reports never include credentials or browsing history.
Your data stays local
History, saved pages and settings live on the device and can be cleared in a few taps.
No account needed
No sign-up, no cloud sync, no browsing data for sale.
Limits
What Ekrivo doesn’t do.
Compatibility depends on the format, codec, service, network and receiver. We’d rather say that plainly than promise video on every site.
-
×No DRM workarounds
Ekrivo never bypasses DRM, paywalls, geoblocking or access control.
-
×No screen mirroring
Media is sent to the receiver, so your phone stays free to use.
-
×No download library
Nothing is stored for offline playback.
-
×No transcoding
If your receiver cannot decode a codec, the stream cannot play.
-
×Cast only, for now
AirPlay, DLNA, Roku and Fire TV are not part of 1.0.
FAQ
Common questions.
Which videos can Ekrivo cast?
Unprotected, publicly reachable MP4, HLS and DASH streams, plus photos and videos stored on your phone. If a page serves something the receiver cannot play, Ekrivo says so instead of failing silently.
Does it work with every website?
No. Streaming services can use DRM or protected playback, which Ekrivo deliberately does not bypass.
What about YouTube?
YouTube controls its playback and receiver connection. Ekrivo opens the video in the official YouTube app or browser so you can use YouTube’s own Cast button; it does not copy or bypass YouTube’s protected stream.
Do I need a Chromecast?
You need a Chromecast, Chromecast built-in device, or compatible Google TV on the same network.
Why does casting sometimes go through my phone?
Some sources need the phone to relay an authenticated request. Ekrivo shows when it uses this compatibility path.
Can I use subtitles?
Pages can expose WebVTT, HLS or SRT tracks. Ekrivo shows compatible tracks and can prepare source-backed SRT subtitles for casting.
Is there an iPhone version?
Not yet. Ekrivo 1.0 is built for Android.
