JellyBox Player

A native cross-platform music player for your Jellyfin, Emby or Navidrome server, on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

JellyBox is a music client for Jellyfin, Emby and Navidrome (other OpenSubsonic-compatible servers may work, but only Navidrome is tested). It does one thing well: it makes your own music library feel like a modern streaming app, with fast browsing, offline downloads and progressive caching, synced lyrics, and Spotify-style everyday mixes. JellyBox also has cloud features like playback-continuity - just like spotify-connect, to move your music playback betwee devices, or remote control them. Relay - to connect remotely to your jellyfin instance without running tailscale, VPN or port forwarding.
