About
Reel plays the video you already have, wherever it lives, in its original quality.
FREE TO TRY
Reel is free to download and free to try for 3 days: start the trial in the app. To keep using it after that, buy Full Access once — a one-time purchase, not a subscription, shared with your Family Sharing group and on all your Apple devices.
ALL YOUR SOURCES IN ONE LIBRARY
Connect Jellyfin, Emby and Plex media servers, SMB, NFS, WebDAV, FTP and SFTP shares, DLNA servers, and folders on your device — all at once. Home brings Continue Watching and Recently Added together from every source, and Search covers them all. Shares on your network are found automatically.
FILES BECOME A LIBRARY
Videos on shares and folders become a library you can browse and search, sidecar subtitles are picked up, and your progress follows you between your devices through iCloud.
DIRECT PLAY, NO CONVERSION
MKV, MP4, AVI, TS and WebM with HEVC, AV1, VP9 and H.264 play straight from the source. Multichannel and lossless audio, HDR10, HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision are supported, and every subtitle format in the file — SubRip, ASS/SSA with styling, WebVTT, PGS, DVB and DVD — is drawn faithfully.
A PLAYER THAT FEELS AT HOME
Liquid Glass controls, thumbnail scrubbing, chapters, audio and subtitle timing, playback speed, Skip Intro, Up Next, a sleep timer, Picture in Picture, AirPlay and SharePlay. Your servers stay in sync with everything you watch.
BUILT FOR EVERY APPLE SCREEN
• iPhone and iPad: gestures, downloads for offline viewing.
• Mac: a separate player window that keeps the video's shape, menu commands and keyboard control.
• Apple TV: made for the Siri Remote, with frame-rate and dynamic-range matching and Top Shelf.
• Apple Vision Pro: 3D films in true stereo, Apple spatial video, and 180° and 360° video, fully immersive.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no tracking. Reel connects only to the servers and services you add, and your sign-ins stay in your keychain. Parental controls can hide titles above an age rating.
Reel doesn't provide any content. It plays media you own or have access to.
