What it does:

Browse by album, artist, song, genre, or playlist

Stream or download albums, playlists, and podcast episodes for offline listening

Lossless playback (FLAC/ALAC), plus the usual lock-screen and Control Centre controls

Create playlists in the app that sync back to your server

Podcast shows and episodes alongside your music, with resume-where-you-left-off

A clean offline mode, with a clear banner when you're off-network

A few honest notes:

Independent app — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Emby LLC.

No ads, no tracking, no account with us, no data collection. Plinth only talks to the server you point it at — I run no servers of my own.

It's paid, but free to try: download it free with a 30-day full-access trial, then $4.99/year or $9.99 lifetime if you want to keep it.

I use it daily and I read everything. The library views, playlists, podcasts, and offline mode are where I've put the most work — if you try it and something's missing or broken, tell me. I'd genuinely like to hear what this community wants from a native client.
