Arcfin is a native Jellyfin client for Apple devices. I wanted something that felt like it belonged on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, so it's built in SwiftUI from the ground up. The Mac app is a real Mac app, not an iPad port, and Apple TV has its own layouts made for the remote.

What it does

• Playback that just works. Arcfin picks a playback engine for each file, so most things direct play without your server having to transcode. You can also choose an engine yourself in Settings › Playback.
• Offline downloads. Save movies and episodes to watch without a connection. Your watch progress syncs back to Jellyfin when you're online again.
• Seerr integration. Search for and request movies and shows, and keep a watchlist, without leaving the app.
• Profiles with PIN lock. Switch between users and lock profiles with a PIN.
• Quick Connect. Sign in on a new device without typing your password.
• Watch stats. An optional page built from your Jellyfin watch history.
• Light and dark mode on iPhone, iPad and Mac, following your system setting.
• Ten languages.

Status

Arcfin is in public beta on TestFlight and after testers approve will go onto the App Store.

I'm building this on my own, so bug reports and feedback really help. Please open an issue on the repository.
