What is JellyWatch Admin?
JellyWatch Admin is the Android companion app for the person who manages a Jellyfin or Emby media server. It gives you full control and real-time visibility into your server, right from your phone or tablet.
Looking for the app to watch your library on a TV, phone or tablet? That is JellyWatch Player. See the JellyWatch Player documentation.
