Jellybloom
Your media.
Your server. Actually pleasant.
A desktop client for Jellyfin that talks directly to your server.
Browse, discover, and watch without touching a browser tab.
You already run the server.
Using it should feel like a reward, not a chore.
Jellyfin is powerful, but the default experience is a web app designed by committee. Jellybloom is a ground-up desktop client built for people who own their media and want browsing it to feel as good as the content itself.
Direct connection
Talks straight to your Jellyfin server. No cloud middleman, no account required, no data leaves your network unless you want it to.
