Den allra första alfaversionen av Boxee blev tillgänglig för allmän nerladdning den 16 juni 2008, och den versionen var då bara för Mac OS X. Boxees mjukvara är fortfarande under utveckling och är för närvarande endast tillgängligt som betaversioner för Mac OS, Apple TV, Windows, och Linux. Detta syftar på att Boxee ger alla användare tillgång till ett nätgemenskap där de kan genom interaktion visa andra Boxee-användare som de är vänner med, se vad de lyssnar eller ser på i Boxee och även aktivt välja att rekommendera en specifik sång, film, TV-program, och annan video eller musikstycke till sina vänner. Boxees programvara marknadsförs som den första "Social Media Center"-mjukvaran någonsin. Boxee är delvis baserad på öppen källkod ifrån XBMC Media Center vilket är fri programvara som Boxee-mjukvaran använder som en grundläggande bas för sin GUI och mediaspelare.

Boxee är en gratis media center-mjukvara (mediaspelare) med några unika nätgemenskapfunktioner och ett grafiskt användargränssnitt som är avsett för användning på en storbilds-TV hemma i vardagsrummet med en fjärrkontroll.

The company's main offices are located at 122 West 26th Street, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10001. Boxee was owned and developed by a single for-profit startup company, (Boxee, Inc.), which began as a high tech stealth startup based in Israel and the United States with seed money from several angel investors, & was then known to be financially backed by venture capital firms such as General Catalyst Partners, Union Square Ventures, Softbank, Pitango, Spark Capital and Globis Capital Partners. Boxee co-developed a dedicated set-top box (hardware) called "Boxee Box by D-Link" in cooperation with D-Link which was the first "Powered by Boxee" branded device to be announced and launched, as well as a similar media player device called "Iomega TV with Boxee" (available in the UK & Europe) in cooperation with Iomega and a 46" high-definition television from ViewSonic with integrated Boxee software. By the end of 2012 the developers had discontinued all desktop versions and support. Boxee gained the ability to watch live TV on the Boxee Box using a live TV stick in January 2012. The first public beta version was officially released for all previously supported platforms on 7 January 2010. The UI design of the Alpha prototype was designed with design firm Method Incorporated, who also created Boxee's brand identity. Marketed as the first ever "Social Media Center", the first public alpha of Boxee was made available on 16 June 2008.

Boxee was originally a fork of the free and open source XBMC (now Kodi) media center software which Boxee used as an application framework for its GUI and media player core platform, together with some custom and proprietary additions.

It enabled its users to view, rate and recommend content to their friends through many social network services and interactive media related features. Boxee was a cross-platform freeware HTPC (Home Theater PC) software application with a 10-foot user interface and social networking features designed for the living-room TV.
