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
• Request what your server doesn't have yet, through Seerr, without leaving the app
• Skip Intro and Skip Credits, via the Jellyfin plugin
• People pages: tap a name in the cast for a biography and everything of theirs you own
• Your home screen in your order — rows off, rows moved, genres as rows or as chips
• Custom headers per server, for Jellyfin behind Cloudflare Access, Authelia, Authentik or Pangolin
• Collections and each library, straight from the Movies and Shows title
• Sign in with a Quick Connect code instead of a password
• Lock screen and headphone controls, plus background audio
• Your audio and subtitle language, chosen once
• Next episode on its own, sleep timer, playback speed
• Watchlist, filters and search
• English and German
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.
