Your library,
beautifully native.
Zelefin is a fast, native media client for your own Jellyfin, Silo, or Emby server on iPhone, iPad, and Android. Play files the way they were made: HDR, Dolby Vision, and Atmos included.
Free, with no subscription and no ads. The iPhone and iPad beta is on TestFlight, and Android downloads are on the downloads page.
Servers
One app for the servers you already run.
Pick your server type when you sign in. Each one is spoken to in its own language, so you get the features that server actually has.
Silo
Your Silo library, streamed through Silo's Jellyfin-compatible API.
- Sign in with your Silo account
- Household profiles with PINs
- Silo's own avatar presets
- Tools Silo doesn't offer are hidden
Emby
A dedicated client on Emby's own API, not a Jellyfin fallback.
- Intro and credit skip from chapter markers
- Scrubbing previews from BIF thumbnails
- Collections, playlists, and favorites
- Server management and remote control

Direct play on the device.
No transcoding when it isn't needed.
Native players play MKV, HEVC, and lossless audio straight from your server. If your network drops, quality steps down, then back up when it recovers.
