Hey everyone! I’ve spent the last several months building “Dorsal”, an iOS-native music player for Jellyfin with the features that I felt I personally wanted. Designed for those who like to see and listen to their music as an album-focused experience.
I’m interested in getting it in your hands to see what you all think. I have my Jellyfin server set up in a pretty basic way so I’m curious to see if it works well for others too! The code is open-source (MIT-licensed), I have a TestFlight open beta, and it is available on the App Store (it does have a price to support development, developer program fees, etc), so you can get it for free or use and support the production release, up to you! Here are the links:
- GitHub: https://github.com/jaredreich/dorsal
- TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/p3cMepSH
- App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dorsal-music/id6762251157 (happy to offer promo codes for early users as well!)
I’m the solo dev, so I’m happy to try and answer any questions! Thanks everyone!
Thanks for looking! It is specifically for Jellyfin right now. Though, like 95%+ of the code is not Jellyfin-specific, so I think I would be interested in supporting Navidrome in the future, especially if the way Navidrome’s SDK returns music data is at least somewhat similar. Do you strictly use Navidrome? Maybe I should put Navidrome on my home server and play around a bit to get an understanding.
Yes, I only use Navidrome. Navidrome is a very popular media library server. It might garner a wider user base if Dorsal was compatible. I’m not a dev, and I’m not trying to rewrite your app. Just throwing it out there.
Understood, thanks, appreciate the question for sure. I think I will definitely investigate Navidrome and try it out on my home server and see what it takes to pull music from there as well!
