Free · In‑App Purchases

Bolera is a beautiful, native music client for your own Jellyfin server — built for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and CarPlay, not bolted on. No Catalyst, no web wrapper. Just fast SwiftUI that feels at home everywhere, talking straight to the library you already host.

Lossless, gapless, and your endlessly-extending daily mixes, all driver-friendly. Plug in and your music is just there.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Rock-solid playback. Music no longer randomly stops on the road — Bolera now recovers instantly from dropouts, dead spots, and Wi-Fi→cellular handoffs, buffers further ahead, and automatically streams a lighter, more reliable quality on cellular (full quality stays on Wi-Fi). • Pick up where you left off. Reopen the app and your last queue is right there, paused on the track and spot you stopped at. • Redesigned Settings, organized into clear sections: Sign In, Streaming, Library, AI Features, Bolera Pro, and About. • CarPlay: new Favourite and Radio buttons on the Now Playing screen — heart the current track or start a station from it without touching your phone. Plus an optional CarPlay-specific streaming quality so playback keeps up on patchy signal. • Refreshed Now Playing screen — larger artwork, with Lyrics, Sleep, Download, Favourite, AirPlay and Queue tidied into one bottom row. • Two-factor sign-in. Enter your authenticator code at login (works with JellyfinSecurity and TOTP plugins), or use an app password. • Bring your own AI (Bolera Pro). Point Make-a-Mix at your own OpenAI-compatible, Ollama, or LM Studio server instead of on-device — your choice, off by default. • Daily Mixes now stick around for a week — tap the "Daily Mixes" header on Home to see every mix from the last 7 days, and they sync across your iPhone and Mac. • Home section headers (Recent Tracks, Top Played, Recently Added, Favourites) tap through to a full list for that section. • Crossfade has been removed — it was causing buffering and stutter on cellular. • The visualiser now reacts only to the real audio (it sits still when there's no sound instead of faking a rhythm), and the waveform line over the bars is gone. • Various stability and playback fixes.
