NaviFin · iOS 26+
Watch your self-hosted Jellyfin library, movies, TV, and music, on the phone in your pocket. Picture in Picture, AirPlay, and offline downloads for the plane, with watch state that syncs back to your server. A hybrid AVPlayer + VLC engine plays anything. On the App Store as one $6.99 Universal Purchase that covers every Apple device.
Short answer
Download movies and episodes for offline playback. Smart Downloads, which is off until you switch it on, keeps the next unwatched episodes of a show on the phone and reclaims the finished ones. Ready for a Trip packs the device in one press. When you reconnect, your watch state goes back to the server.
Keep a film running in Picture in Picture while you use other apps, or send it to an Apple TV or an AirPlay speaker. The hybrid AVPlayer + VLC engine plays MKV, HEVC, surround audio and embedded subtitles without a server transcode.
Continue Watching and Now Playing on the Home Screen, transport controls on the Lock Screen and in StandBy, a Live Activity in the Dynamic Island while audio plays. The widgets read from a sandboxed App Group and never open a network connection.
Switch the Apple TV’s Jellyfin profile from the phone over Quick Connect instead of typing a PIN with the remote. Kids Mode puts a rating ceiling on a profile with a PIN to leave it. Your library is on CarPlay too, for audio from the head unit, and that is the one thing on this page that has not been confirmed working in a car yet.

Every screen
Adaptive layout, cinematic detail pages, a full player with subtitle and audio track selection, Picture in Picture, AirPlay, and offline downloads. The controls you expect, where you expect them.
01 / Home
The Home screen opens on a cinematic hero, then Continue Watching so you can resume on the train, then your latest movies and episodes. Adaptive layout, built for one-thumb reach.
02 / Detail pages
Every movie and show opens a cinematic detail page: backdrop, synopsis, cast and crew, and a More Like This row. Resume where you left off, or jump to any episode.
03 / Offline downloads
Download movies and episodes for offline playback. When you reconnect, your watch state syncs back to your Jellyfin server, so resume points stay correct on every device. Picture in Picture and AirPlay come along too.
04 / The player
The hybrid AVPlayer + VLC engine plays anything: MKV, HEVC, surround, embedded or external subtitles. Pick subtitle and audio tracks, change speed, Skip Intro and Skip Credits, and let Next Up roll the next episode.
