Blink is a modern cross-platform desktop client for Jellyfin media servers, built with Tauri and React. It supports DirectPlay of most media formats, multiple server connections, library sorting/filtering, queue playback, and media info recognition like Dolby Vision and HDR10+.

Use cases

  • watch jellyfin media on desktop
  • modern jellyfin client for windows mac linux
  • play media from my jellyfin server with a clean ui
  • connect to multiple jellyfin servers
  • skip intros in jellyfin playback
  • lightweight alternative to jellyfin theater

When to choose

  • you use Jellyfin and want a native-feeling desktop app instead of the web UI
  • you need cross-platform DirectPlay support without codecs
  • you run multiple Jellyfin servers or want intro-skip support

When to avoid
