Play your Jellyfin library exactly as it was made. JellyMold has its own playback engine, so your files play directly and are never transcoded by your server. Original picture, original sound, no re-encoding, no server strain. Most clients lean on the server to re-encode anything they can't handle, which costs quality and loads your hardware. JellyMold decodes your media itself, so playback starts fast and looks and sounds the way it should, at home or over the internet. It's built for iPhone and iPad, and designed to feel like it belongs there. JellyMold is my idea of what Jellyfin should feel like on Apple devices. Fast to navigate, beautiful to watch, and built natively from the ground up. I've rethought the parts you use most, like TV show episode navigation and on-screen video setting preferences, so getting to what you want to watch takes less effort and watching it feels better. PLAYS YOUR FILES AS THEY ARE • Direct play only, never transcoded, no quality loss • Wide format support: HEVC, H.264, AV1, VC-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and ProRes • Surround soundtracks with a dialogue-clear downmix — AC-3, E-AC-3, DTS, TrueHD, FLAC and AAC • Subtitles done properly: text and image-based (PGS, VOBSUB), forced subtitles, and full appearance control A REAL PLAYER • Picture in Picture that keeps playing while you move around your phone • Chapters, aspect-ratio and zoom controls, and adjustable playback speed • Audio sync adjustment for soundtracks that drift • Customisable gestures for scrubbing, skipping and playback • Skip intros and recaps, and roll straight into the next episode • Scrubbing thumbnails, generated on device even when your server has none YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY • Bring several Jellyfin servers together in one library • Continue Watching, Up Next and what's new, straight from your server • Search across everything • Download anything to watch fully offline • Lock Screen, Control Centre and CarPlay controls MADE FOR iPHONE AND iPAD • A native, adaptive layout on both • Full Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support • Output to an external display WHAT YOU NEED JellyMold is a client for Jellyfin, the free, self-hosted media server. You'll need your own Jellyfin server and account to sign in. JellyMold plays your personal library and doesn't host or provide any content itself. ABOUT US JellyMold is made by Virtue Apps, which is just me. I watch a lot on my own Jellyfin server, and I wanted an iOS app that felt as good as the content deserved. So I built it. I sweat the small details, because they're what you notice every time you press play. I respect your privacy and your time: no tracking, no clutter, no nonsense. My aim is simple. An app you're genuinely glad you paid for. I read every message. If something could be better, tell me by using the feedback link in the app. MEMBERSHIP You can view 5 pieces of media unrestricted, after which you require a subscription to continue watching. Both monthly and annual plans come with a generous free trial period to ensure you are happy to pay for the experience you get with JellyMold. PRIVACY JellyMold collects no personal data. Your library and your viewing stay between you and your server. We only want to provide you with the best possible JellyMold client experience, and we don’t need to know anything about you to do that.

New & improved • Reworked scrubbing — drag to seek, with a magnetic marker at the point you started from, so it's easy to slide back if you change your mind. • Starting a show or film now glides from its poster straight into the player. • Player controls keep consistent spacing in portrait and full screen. Fixed • The keyboard no longer disappears the moment you start typing in search. • Reaching your free-play limit no longer leaves the player stuck on a loading spinner — the subscription options now appear right away. Accessibility • Reduce Motion is now respected throughout the app. • Clearer VoiceOver labels on the home screen. ### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-14 A round of minor fixes and polish across playback, server management, and iPhone Duo specific layouts. ### 1.1 — 2026-10-12 iPhone Duo Support JellyMold now comes into its own on the iPhone Duo. Open it up and the large inner display gets a roomier, iPad-style library and player. Fold it into tabletop and the picture lifts to the top half while the playback controls drop to a panel below with a reactive reflection of what you're watching beneath. Also in this update: • A cleaner, centred connect screen on iPad and the Duo • Improved iCloud remembered servers • Refinements to the full-screen player on iPhone and iPad • Fixes and polish throughout ### 1.0 — 2026-10-11 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
