About Kodi
At a glance: Kodi is a media app by XBMC Foundation. The latest version is 21.3.0.0 for Windows and 21.3-Omega for macOS. Price: Free. Licence: GPL-2.0-or-later. Official website: kodi.tv.
Kodi is a free, open-source media center from the non-profit Kodi Foundation. It turns a computer — or a TV box — into a living-room entertainment system with a big-screen interface designed for remote controls.
Kodi organises and plays your own movies, TV shows, music and photos from local drives and network shares, with artwork and information. It can be extended with add-ons from its official repository. Kodi itself does not provide any content.
Best for: Building a home theatre PC for your own media collection.
Kodi contains no content of its own. Only use add-ons from trusted sources and content you have the right to watch.

Safety
Where these links come from
Versions and download addresses are read automatically from winget (Windows) and Homebrew (macOS), the public package catalogues used by millions of developers. We only show a link when it points to the developer’s own official domain, and we never host, repackage or bundle the files — your browser downloads them directly from the developer.
Check the file after downloading (optional)
Compare the SHA-256 checksum shown above with the one of the file you downloaded. If they match, the file is exactly the one published by the developer.
- Windows: open PowerShell in your Downloads folder and run
Get-FileHash .\filename - Mac: open Terminal and run
shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/filename

Kodi: frequently asked questions
Is this the official Kodi download?
Yes. The download buttons link directly to the developer’s own servers (mirrors.kodi.tv). DownloadFrom.net does not host, modify or bundle Kodi; we only list the official files and their SHA-256 checksums so you can verify them.
Which Windows file should I download?
For most PCs, choose the recommended 64-bit installer, current user only (.exe). Pick an ARM64 file only for Windows on ARM devices (for example Snapdragon laptops), and MSI packages if you deploy software for an organisation. To check your PC, open Settings → System → About and look at “System type”.
Apple Silicon or Intel — which Mac file do I need?
Open the Apple menu → About This Mac. If it shows “Chip: Apple M…”, download the Apple Silicon version; if it shows “Processor: … Intel”, download the Intel version.
Is Kodi free and legal?
Yes. Kodi is free, open-source and legal software. What you play with it is your responsibility; avoid unofficial add-ons that offer pirated content.
Does Kodi come with movies or channels?
No. Kodi plays your own media and content from add-ons you choose to install.
Kodi or VLC?
VLC is ideal for opening single files. Kodi is a full media center for browsing a library on a TV.
