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:

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.

Do you strictly use Navidrome

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!
