About streamlink-twitch-gui
streamlink-twitch-gui is an open-source, multi-platform graphical frontend for the Streamlink command-line interface, designed to let users browse and watch Twitch content without using the official Twitch website. It supports browsing streams by popularity, game, channel or team, accessing followed streams and channels, filtering content by language, receiving desktop notifications for new followed streams, joining Twitch chat via customizable third-party applications, and watching streams in a user's choice of external video player, including support for simultaneous viewing of multiple streams. To use the application, users must have Streamlink installed separately on their system, as the GUI only acts as a frontend for the Streamlink CLI.
