Photon is a native player for the library you already own. Connect your media servers, your cloud and network storage, and your Live TV subscription, and everything you can watch appears in one place — on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac, from a single purchase.
YOUR OWN LIBRARY, TOGETHER
• Works with Jellyfin, Emby, Plex and Silo
• Connect as many servers as you like. Home and Search bring them all together; the Library tab keeps each source's own shelves separate, so you can still ask what is on one server.
• Play straight from Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or a WebDAV share, with no media server at all
• Live TV from an Xtream Codes subscription: a full programme guide, favourites, and a channel list built for thousands of channels
• Open a video from Files or the Finder and it becomes a title like any other — with a resume point, artwork and a name you can match against your servers
AS IT WAS MADE
• Dolby Vision and HDR, with AVPlayer driving the display for real HDR output
• MKV and 4K play as they are. Nothing is quietly downscaled or re-encoded behind your back.
• Dolby Digital Plus with Atmos passed through untouched; TrueHD and DTS-HD decoded losslessly rather than folded to stereo
• Subtitles drawn as overlays, never burned into the picture
• Standing choices for audio language, subtitle language, and when subtitles should come on at all
• Skip intros and credits, and go straight into the next episode
EVERYWHERE YOU WATCH
• Download for offline. Transfers carry on while you are elsewhere, with a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and a notice when a title lands.
• Handoff picks a film up on the next device at the frame you left it
• Spotlight and Siri open a title directly
• Top Shelf on Apple TV, a real menu bar on the Mac, and one design across all four platforms
BUILT FOR THE PLATFORM
Written in SwiftUI for iOS, tvOS and macOS, with full Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels on every control, and Reduce Motion respected throughout. There is no account to create and no service of ours in the path: Photon talks to your servers and to your own iCloud, and to nothing else.
PHOTON PRO
The free app is a complete client for one media server — the whole player, browsing, search, downloads, offline playback and Handoff, with no advertising and nothing to sign up for.
Pro adds:
• As many servers as you like, brought together on Home and in Search
• Drives: Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and WebDAV shares
• Live TV subscriptions and the guide
• 4K and MKV playback
• Your servers, settings and the way you have arranged Home, on every device you sign in on
Available monthly, yearly, or as a one-off Lifetime purchase, with a free week on either subscription. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac.
Photon plays the media you already have on servers and storage you control. It is an independent client and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Jellyfin, Emby or Plex.
