Arnage is a warm, cinephile player for the media library you already own. Follow a series, and every new episode downloads itself in the background — ready to watch even with no signal. Connect it to your home server and open your films and shows in a calm, photographic interface — on your iPhone and your iPad. — Follow a series, never miss an episode — Follow a show and Arnage downloads each new episode for you, quietly, in the background. Board the plane with the next three already on your iPhone, no Wi-Fi required. — Made for people who curate their own collection — A quiet, photographic interface that treats your library like the collection it is — continue watching, recently added, and a hero that highlights what's worth your evening. Looking for something in particular? The filters in the Library tab get you there fast, with artwork sized right for every screen. — Playback that respects the file — • Every file plays directly by default — never re-encoded — with HDR tone-mapped on the spot so it looks right even on an SDR screen. • On a weak or metered connection, set a quality cap and your server scales the stream down to fit — so you keep watching. • PGS subtitles and TrueHD audio. • Your audio and subtitle track choices are remembered for each film and series. — A player built for watching — Swipe across to seek, slide along the edges to set volume and brightness, double-tap to skip — and scrub with live thumbnail previews to land on the exact moment. Pop the video into Picture-in-Picture to keep an eye on it while you get on with something else. — iPhone and iPad, each its own — Designed for each screen rather than stretched between them. — Compatibility — Arnage works with Jellyfin and Plex today — point it at the server you already run. More are on the way. — A word on privacy — Arnage is not an advertising surface. We collect two things, both anonymous and both optional: crash reports, so we can fix what breaks, and usage analytics, so we know which features matter. You'll find both switches during onboarding — before you connect to anything — and any time in Settings → Privacy. Nothing is ever sold, shared with advertisers, or tied to your identity. Your library, your viewing history, and your credentials are never sent to us — and your watch progress lives on your own media server, never on ours. — Status — Arnage is in active development. Expect rough edges, expect care.
