Reeltone turns your Jellyfin server into a
proper native music player on iPhone and Mac — background playback, offline
downloads, system media controls, AirPlay, synced lyrics, and a tactile player
you can reskin completely. Point it at your server, sign in, and your whole
library feels at home.
What you get
True background audio — music keeps playing when you leave the app or lock the screen.
Lock screen & Control Center — play, pause, skip, and scrub with album art, without opening the app.
Offline downloads — save albums and tracks, play them with no connection.
Synced lyrics — line by line, from your server or fetched automatically from LRCLIB.
AirPlay — send audio to HomePod, Apple TV, or any AirPlay speaker.
Fast native browsing — artists, albums, playlists, and search, working offline.
Build your own player
Change the classic deck's colors, fonts, and sprites—or wrap the entire Mac player in a pixel-perfect custom chassis with animated, clickable controls.
You bring the server. Reeltone connects to your own Jellyfin
server (a free, open-source media server you host yourself). You'll need a
server and an account on it. For lyrics, Jellyfin 10.9+ is recommended.
