Reeltone: Music for Jellyfin

Your self-hosted music, finally a real iPhone player: true background playback, lock-screen controls, offline downloads, AirPlay, and synced lyrics.

Reeltone turns your Jellyfin server into a proper iPhone music player — background playback that keeps going when you lock the phone, offline downloads, lock-screen and Control Center controls, AirPlay, and synced lyrics.

Point it at your server, sign in, and your whole library is in your pocket.

WHAT YOU GET • True background audio — music keeps playing when you leave the app or lock your phone. No more silence when the screen turns off. • Lock screen & Control Center — play, pause, skip, and scrub without opening the app. Album art on your lock screen. • Offline downloads — save albums and tracks and play them with no connection, on a plane or underground. • Synced lyrics — sing along line by line, pulled from your server or fetched automatically from LRCLIB when your server has none. • AirPlay — send audio to HomePod, Apple TV, or any AirPlay speaker. • Fast, native browsing — artists, albums, playlists, and search, with a library that loads instantly and works offline. • A retro cassette-deck look — tape reels that spin as you listen and a waveform you can scrub.

REQUIREMENTS Reeltone connects to your own Jellyfin server (jellyfin.org) — a free, open-source media server you host yourself. You'll need a server and an account on it. For lyrics, Jellyfin 10.9 or newer is recommended.
