AmpFin is a sleek and modern Jellyfin client, specifically designed for music and iOS and iPadOS. Due to its design, snappy interface and deep integration it feels right at home on any supported device.
Features:
- Online & Offline Playback: The app is designed to provide the same great experience while offline
- Lyrics: View time synced lyrics for your favorite songs (requires Jellyfin 10.9+)
- Explore Artists: Dive into your music collection and play an instant mix of your favorite artist's songs
- Discover Albums: Navigate your albums in a beautiful interface
- Enjoy your Playlists: Playlists are fully supported - online & offline
- Search Your Library: Quickly find your favorite tracks with the intuitive search functionality.
- Queue with History: Create a playback queue and view songs that have played previously.
- Remote control: Control AmpFin using another supported Jellyfin client or take of control of one
- Siri / Spotlight integration: Play your music using Siri and access your library through Spotlight
- Automatic updates: Added a track to a downloaded playlist? AmpFin will download it automatically
The macOS app is still in "alpha". It is more or less a slightly tweaked iPadOS app. A native macOS app is planned. Downloads will be available soon™️
Things to implement before i would consider AmpFin feature complete:
- Shortcuts
- 10.9 & lyrics support
- Update cover images of downloaded items
- Improve downloads by storing their file extension (currently blocked by a migration bug in SwiftData)
- CarPlay integration
- Listen-Now tab (maybe)
- Tweak now playing animation
- Widgets (No idea what purpose they could serve but there may be some)
- Improve search experience
- tvOS (not planned until tvOS 18)
- macOS
- Journal integration
- Now playing widget suggestions
- Chapters in the Apple Watch now playing app
- HomePod (possible but would require a centralized server)

Pre built binaries
Grab the latest Release and install it using your favorite tool like SideStore.
Please not that the pre build binaries lack Siri support because these features either require a paid developer account or cannot be reliably implemented in a way that works with tools like SideStore. For further information see rasmuslos#11
Stripping app extensions is highly recommended, they will not work as intended.
Build the app yourself
- Install Xcode
- In the
Configuration
directory copy theDebug.xcconfig.template
file and rename it toDebug.xcconfig
- Change the
DEVELOPMENT_TEAM
to your apple developer team id andBUNDLE_ID_PREFIX
to a prefix of your liking - If you do not have a paid developer account remove the
ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES
compilation condition. Otherwise the app will crash. If you do not intent on developing the app also remove theDEBUG flag
- Connect your iPhone to your Mac & enable developer mode
- Select your iPhone as the run destination
- Run the application
Please not that the DEBUG
configuration is used by default for all builds except archiving and profiling. You have to edit Release.xcconfig
to update their parameters.
AmpFin is licensed under the Mozilla Public License Version 2. Additionally the "Common Clause" applies. This means that you can modify AmpFin, as well as contribute to it, but you are not allowed to distribute the application in binary form. Compiling for your own personal use is not covered by the commons clause and therefore fine. Additionally, prebuilt binaries are available on GitHub for side loading using popular tools like SideStore, etc.
Some notes:
- Try to match the current code style
- All spacing, especially to the sides, should be
20
units. Scrollable items should have a gap of10
units, non scrollable ones15
. Do not usepadding()
without any parameters, it has "smart" behavior, meaning that the padding is all over the place. To give a fun example: more or less everything had a padding of19
units, so most things were slightly of, relative to the toolbar at least.
Distributing your binaries to your friends and family is allowed. The same goes for development builds.
Contributions are welcome, just fork the repository, and open a pull request with your changes. If you want to contribute translations you have to edit Localizable.xcstrings
in the iOS
directory, as well as Localizable.xcstrings
located at Widget Extension
using Xcode. If you want to add a new language add it in the project settings
