The native desktop client for Jellyfin.

Why JellyBridge

Built for a better Jellyfin experience.

• Direct play, always

  Plays the original file with mpv, so your server never transcodes and the picture is never re-encoded. H.264, HEVC, AV1, VP9, 10-bit and HDR video, with hardware decoding where your graphics card supports it.

• Native performance

  Shows your Home screen about a tenth of a second after launch, uses around 120 MB of memory while you browse and draws nothing while idle. Scrolling keeps up with 240 Hz displays.

• Familiar interface

  Pages, cards, menus and settings follow Jellyfin's web app, so everything is where you expect it. Progress, watched state and favorites are saved on your server and sync with your other devices.

• Open and private

  Free software under GPL-3.0-or-later, with no telemetry. JellyBridge talks only to your server, and your access token never reaches the player.

• Runs on all major platforms

  Packages for Linux, Windows and macOS bring their own player and codecs: there is no mpv or FFmpeg to install, and portable builds run without installing anything.
