Swiftly plays the films on your Jellyfin server just as they are.
Most apps have the server rebuild a film while you're watching. Swiftly leaves it alone — and tells you beforehand that it will. If something ever does have to be converted, you'll see which part of the file was responsible.
Picture in Picture is built in, so a film can carry on in the corner while you get on with something else.
RESUME ON THIS DEVICE
Something playing on the Apple TV turns up as a button on your iPhone. One tap and it carries on here, at the second you left it. It works in every direction between iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV.
SERVERS AND ACCOUNTS
Add more than one Jellyfin, stay signed in to all of them, and switch from your profile without typing a password again.
DOWNLOADS
Take episodes and films with you. Swiftly downloads the original file, so what you watch offline is the same quality as what you stream.
MORE

• Custom headers per server, for Jellyfin behind Cloudflare Access, Authelia, Authentik or Pangolin
• Collections and each library, straight from the Movies and Shows title

Swiftly brings no films of its own — it simply shows what's already on your server. And it collects nothing: no analytics, no advertising, no account with us. Your viewing position goes to your server and nowhere else.
You'll need a Jellyfin server of your own, 10.8 or newer, on a secure (https) address, and an iPhone or iPad with iOS 18.
