📅 Binge Brakes

Limits your configured series to one (or more) new episode(s) unlocked per day. Catalog and streams still come from your other installed add-ons — this only narrows the episode list for the shows you've restricted.

📅 Binge Brakes — A Simple Guide

What is this? A tool that stops you from binge-watching a show all at once. You pick a series, and it only lets you see one new episode per day (or however many you choose).


The Basic Idea

Think of it like a librarian who hands you one book at a time instead of the whole series. You tell Binge Brakes which shows to "guard," and it hides future episodes until the next day rolls around.

  • Your other apps (the ones that actually play the video) still work exactly the same.
  • Binge Brakes doesn't play anything itself — it just shortens the episode list so tomorrow's episode isn't visible yet.

Setting It Up (3 Steps)

Step 1: Open the setup page

Go to the setup page link you were given (it will look like .../configure). You'll see a simple page where you can search for shows.

Step 2: Add your shows

  • Type a show's name (like "Seinfeld") and click Search.
  • Click the show you want from the results.
  • Next to each show, you can set how many episodes unlock per day. The default is 1.

Then click Generate Install Link. This gives you a special link — copy it, or click Open in Stremio to add it directly.

Step 3: Move this add on to top of your Addons list

The Easy Way: Auto-Install Button

Don't want to mess with dragging add-ons around by hand? The setup page has a button called "Install & Move to Top" that does the whole thing for you in one click.

The other way: Manually move this add on to top of your Stremio Add-on list

This is one other way to do it easily. Use this other stremio add on manager: https://stremio-addon-manager.vercel.app/


Editing Your Shows Later

Go back to the same setup page link (it stays the same). You can:

  • Add or remove shows
  • Change how many episodes unlock per day
  • Adjust your timezone

Your saved progress and your install link both stay exactly the same — no need to reinstall anything in Stremio after making changes.

Quick Troubleshooting

Problem Likely Fix
All episodes still show up Make sure Binge Brakes is dragged above the other meta add-on in Stremio
Show doesn't seem to be there Double check you picked the right show during search
Episode unlocked at a weird time Recheck your timezone setting on the setup page
"Upstream meta unavailable" message The show-info service is temporarily unreachable — try again shortly
