Always wanted a mobile native app to manage Jellyfin? Discover JellyWatch - an Android app with "Arr" integration, real-time stats, and a killer "Watch Pass" feature.

Plex users have Plex Dash - a beautiful, native mobile app to see who is streaming, kill bandwidth-hogging streams, and check server health from anywhere. Jellyfin admins? We’ve been stuck trying to load the full web dashboard in a mobile browser, fumbling with a desktop web UI on a 6-inch screen just to kill a stuck transcode. There's also Tautulli which has had great adoption among Plex users.

Like almost all FOSS and closed source software, they have analytics yes and it is covered in their privacy policy. Guessing you did not make it to that part of the review?

The difference and it's an important one, is that they do not sell your data. No 3rd party data sharing or sales which is actually better than a lot of even FOSS software.

Everything you use collects your usage metrics, google, your phone regardless of vendor, Microsoft, Apple etc... No different except that this dev team does not sell your data, which the others assuredly do.

No this is just wrong.

Like almost all FOSS and closed source software

How do you know if they sell your data? How do you know the data is secured enough, so no data breach occurs? How do you know if everyone on the company developing it act in good faith?

That they collect completely useless metrics (except for marketing) like connected servers, says a lot about the company and the ppl behind this. Are the keys to your sever even stored locally? How could you know.

Why are you defending those ppl? What is you self intrest here? Enough companies have proof in the past that privacy policies are just text.
