Molotov

What is Molotov?

Molotov is a desktop streaming TV app for Mac that helps users watch live television channels, browse programs, and continue watching replay content from one place. It is designed for people who want TV access on a computer without using a traditional antenna or set-top box. On Mac, the app provides a channel and program guide interface, direct access to live broadcasts, and options to restart eligible programs from the beginning. Users can also manage recordings stored in the cloud and pick up viewing across supported devices with the same account. Molotov is part of a multi-device service that also works on web browsers, phones, tablets, and other supported TV platforms.

Key features

• Watch live TV channels on a Mac
• Browse programs through a visual TV guide interface
• Restart eligible live programs from the beginning
• Access replay and catch-up content
• Manage cloud recordings from your computer
• Continue watching across supported devices with the same account

Safety overview

Status: Mostly safe

This is a legitimate media-streaming app. It normally needs internet access and account sign-in to stream channels, sync preferences, and manage recordings across devices. If you use it, expect viewing history, favorites, and subscription-related account data to be connected to your Molotov account. Removing the app stops local access on this Mac but does not cancel any subscription or delete cloud recordings by itself.

Recommendation: Keep Molotov if you watch live or replay TV on your Mac or use its cloud recording features across devices. If you no longer use the service, you can remove the app to free space, then separately review your account if you want to manage subscriptions or saved recordings.
