Jellyfin

Free media center software that puts you in control of your entire entertainment library. Jellyfin is a completely open source platform designed for users who want transparency, privacy, and freedom when managing movies, TV shows, music, and personal media collections.

Unlike proprietary alternatives, Jellyfin respects your privacy by design. The application never monitors your activity, stores personal information in external databases, or collects user data without your explicit consent. Any information gathered—such as voluntary bug reports—remains under your control. This commitment to transparency stems from Jellyfin's origins as a continuation of the last open source version of Emby, created specifically to preserve user freedom after that project moved to closed-source development.

Build and organize your media library exactly as you envision it. Whether you're collecting legally available royalty-free content or managing your own personal videos and music, Jellyfin gives you complete control. The platform supports extensive customization of how you discover, organize, and access your content across all your devices.

During playback, you'll find powerful controls that enhance your viewing and listening experience. Adjust playback speed to move through content at your preferred pace, use SyncPlay to watch movies online simultaneously with friends, and customize aspect ratios to match your display. These features work seamlessly whether you're streaming from your home library or accessing media remotely.

Jellyfin's cross-platform design means you can access your media collection from virtually any device—Windows, mobile phones, tablets, or other systems—without being locked into a single ecosystem. The elegant, intuitive interface makes navigation effortless, while the powerful backend ensures smooth performance even with large media libraries.

Best of all, everything is genuinely free. Jellyfin doesn't generate revenue from your media, run advertisements, or require subscriptions. The open source nature means the community continuously improves the software, and you're never at the mercy of corporate decisions that might limit your access or change pricing models. Download Jellyfin today and experience media management the way it should be: free, private, and entirely yours.
