## What is JellyGoose?

JellyGoose is a player for the media server you already run. It finds your Jellyfin server on your network, you pick who's watching, and your films and shows are there: big, poster-forward and quick to move through.

A HOME THAT SHOWS YOU WHAT'S THERE
What you're part-way through leads the screen with its artwork and logo, ready to resume, with Continue Watching, Next Up and the newest in each library beneath it.

TAKE IT WITH YOU
Download films, episodes, whole seasons, albums, playlists and audiobooks, and play them with no server in reach: as they are, or a smaller copy your server makes, so a season fits. Where you got to is passed back to your server. Or have a show's next episodes download by themselves.

MUSIC AND AUDIOBOOKS
Your server's albums, artists and playlists, with lyrics, Up Next and Instant Mix, playing on in the background and in CarPlay. Audiobooks go chapter by chapter, at your speed, picking up where you stopped.

LIVE TV FROM YOUR OWN TUNER
Give your server a tuner, an HDHomeRun for one, and JellyGoose adds Live TV: a guide with your channel playing alongside, what's on now on Home, and recording of one showing or a whole series. Pause a channel or go back through it, turn on its captions, start a programme that's still recording from its beginning, and skip the marked commercials in a recording.

ASK FOR WHAT ISN'T THERE
Run Seerr beside your server and JellyGoose adds a Requests section: what's trending and popular. Ask for a film, a show or one season from wherever you are.

IT PLAYS WHAT THE SYSTEM PLAYER WON'T
H.264 and HEVC go to Apple's own player, where HDR and Dolby Vision belong. AV1, VP9, MPEG-2 and the rest go to a built-in VLC engine, played straight from the original file, so your server never has to re-encode anything.

BUILT FOR BIG FILES
4K remuxes start quickly and stay smooth: a film is made ready while you read its page.

PICTURE IN PICTURE, AND YOUR TV
Shrink a film to a corner of the screen and go on browsing. Or play it on an Apple TV running JellyGoose, with your phone as the remote.

WATCH TOGETHER
Start a group or join one, and a film plays for everyone at the same moment, each on their own screen.

LIBRARIES THAT KEEP UP
Move through thousands of titles, or jump to any letter. Choose several genres or decades at once, show only what you haven't watched, and each library remembers how you left it. Pin any view to the menu or to Home.

SUBTITLES THAT KEEP TIME
Pick a subtitle and it's there, on time, in any film. Choose its size, colour, background and height, or nudge its timing. When a film has none, search the internet from the player and it appears without the film restarting.

EVERYONE GETS THEIR OWN
Everyone who signs in gets a face on the sign-in screen: pick yours and you're in, with your own Continue Watching, watched marks, favourites and library settings, and iCloud carries your settings to your other devices.

THE LITTLE THINGS
Skip intros, recaps and credits, or have them skipped for you. Each show remembers its audio and subtitles. See the next episode coming as the credits roll. Preview frames while you scrub. Set a sleep timer. Watch a film's trailer. Get a notification when a new episode arrives. Ask Siri to carry on, add widgets to your Home Screen, and find a film from Spotlight.

FOR WHOEVER RUNS THE SERVER
See who's watching and how, send a message or stop playback, run the server's tasks, and manage its plugins.

MAKE IT YOURS
Six colour schemes, one a true black for OLED, six app icons, and Home's rows in the order you choose. In nine languages.

NOTHING PHONES HOME
No accounts, no subscription, no analytics, no advertising, no third parties. JellyGoose talks to your own servers and nowhere else, apart from asking your own network where they are during setup.

Requires your own Jellyfin server. Free to try for 7 days, then one purchase unlocks it on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the Jellyfin project.

### 5/5 — Very nice!!

*2026-10-26*

Very polished. Seer integration is awesome!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.1 — 2026-10-30

• Fixed: on iPhone, panels for typing (naming a playlist, a message from the Dashboard, renaming a pin or a library, a Seerr address) were wider than the screen and cut off
• Dashboard: Send Message and Stop Playback appear only for the apps that take them, and word of what happened stays on screen long enough to read
• Downloads: an album or audiobook without cover art shows a note or books instead of a broken picture
• New episode alerts: a moment the server couldn't be reached no longer loses the new episodes it would have told you about

### 2.0 — 2026-10-29

• JellyGoose is now on the Mac: your library in a window of its own, with downloads, Live TV and music. Your unlock covers it
• Music and audiobooks to go: download albums, playlists and audiobooks, and listen with no server in reach
• Download quality: have your server make a smaller copy as it downloads (1080p, 720p or 480p), subtitles and all, so a whole season fits
• New episode alerts: a notification when a new episode of a show you watch reaches your server. Turn it on in Settings, Playback
• Dashboard: server administrators can see who's watching and how, send a message or stop playback, run the server's tasks and read its activity

### 1.8.1 — 2026-10-27

• Fixed: where the server saves Live TV recordings into the TV library, that library listed every episode on its own instead of grouping them by show and season. Shows are back as they were.

### 1.8 — 2026-10-27

• Music: your server's albums, artists, songs and playlists, with lyrics, Up Next, shuffle, repeat and Instant Mix, playing on in the background, from the Lock Screen and in CarPlay. Make playlists, star favourites and browse by genre
• Audiobooks: chapter by chapter, at the speed you like, and picked up where you left off
• Siri and Shortcuts: "Continue watching in JellyGoose", play a film or show by name, or shuffle your music
• Widgets: Continue Watching and Next Up on the Home Screen and Lock Screen, and a Live Activity that follows your downloads
• Spotlight: your films and shows in the iPhone's and iPad's search
• Keep Downloaded: a show's next episodes download by themselves and go once they're watched. Download is in every film's and episode's long-press menu too
• Your own tab bar on iPhone: up to four tabs of any section, library or pinned view. Settings, Tab Bar, or hold the bar
• Playlists of films and episodes, and adding to collections, from the long-press menu
• Coming Soon: a row on Home of the episodes still to air
• Audio and subtitles, show by show, and Dialogue Boost for films the built-in VLC engine plays
• Pinned views can be rows on Home, and iCloud Sync shares settings, pins and each show's choices with your other devices
• Plugins: server administrators can manage the server's plugins from Settings
• iPhone on its side: the menu sits beside the Dynamic Island, and pages no longer slide under it
• Ready for iPhone Duo: tabs beside the folded screen's camera, and the player shaped around the fold

### 1.7.1 — 2026-10-26

No release notes.
