Arnage

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 โ ready to watch even with no signal. Connect it to your home server and open your films and shows in a calm, photographic interface โ on your iPhone and your iPad. โ Follow a series, never miss an episode โ 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. โ Made for people who curate their own collection โ A quiet, photographic interface that treats your library like the collection it is โ 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. โ Playback that respects the file โ โข Every file plays directly by default โ never re-encoded โ with HDR tone-mapped on the spot so it looks right even on an SDR screen. โข On a weak or metered connection, set a quality cap and your server scales the stream down to fit โ so you keep watching. โข PGS subtitles and TrueHD audio. โข Your audio and subtitle track choices are remembered for each film and series. โ A player built for watching โ Swipe across to seek, slide along the edges to set volume and brightness, double-tap to skip โ 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. โ iPhone and iPad, each its own โ Designed for each screen rather than stretched between them. โ Compatibility โ Arnage works with Jellyfin and Plex today โ point it at the server you already run. More are on the way. โ A word on privacy โ 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 โ before you connect to anything โ and any time in Settings โ 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 โ and your watch progress lives on your own media server, never on ours. โ Status โ Arnage is in active development. Expect rough edges, expect care.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReelFin at none against Arnage's 3. Arnage's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
