Plinth puts your own music library in your pocket. If you run Emby or Jellyfin — or someone in your life does — Plinth is the native iPhone app that connects straight to your server. No re-uploading your collection to someone else's cloud. No subscription to listen to music you already own. Just your library, the way you organised it, wherever you go. Stream or take it offline Play anything on your server over Wi-Fi or cellular, or download albums, playlists, and podcast episodes to your iPhone for the gym, the plane, or the subway. Downloads are yours to keep until you remove them, and Plinth shows you exactly what's stored and how much space it's using. Built for real libraries • Browse by album, artist, song, or playlist • High-quality playback, including lossless FLAC and ALAC • Create playlists in the app — they sync back to your Emby server • Podcast shows and episodes alongside your music • A Home screen that surfaces your playlists and recent listening • Clean offline mode with a clear banner when you're off-network Your server, your rules Plinth talks directly to your own Emby or Jellyfin instance.
