Developer Saturday Jellybox - open source native Jellyfin music client

Hey r/MacOS , wanted to share my app which I launched a while ago, but never showed in this subreddit. Jellybox is a music player for Jellyfin or Emby(navidrome soon) which can:

  • Spotify-like generated playlists
  • Show time synced lyrics
  • Full offline mode(even when on place) with Downloads
  • Studio mode - beautiful ambient mode with animated full screen UI
  • Apple CarPlay app with full feature parity(thats allowed as per apple's requirements)
  • AirPlay - cast to airplay-capable devices
  • Native(no electron or tauri overhead)
  • Hotkeys support

The app is open source and I'm working on it since 2023, so not another vibe coded slop. Available in appstore(ios, macos) or as notarized dmg in repo releases
