Moonfin is a media client for Jellyfin and Emby servers, built with Flutter. One shared codebase powers phones and tablets, Windows, macOS, and Linux, Android TV, Fire TV, and Apple TV, and the browser. It's made for people who want a modern, customizable experience on every screen they own.

Android TV, Fire TV, and Apple TV ship from this same codebase with a TV-tuned interface and D-pad navigation. Fire TV runs the same native backend as Android TV. Web runs as an installable PWA through the Moonbase server plugin.
- One codebase, every screen. Phones, tablets, desktop, Android TV, Apple TV, and web, with navigation tuned for touch, pointer, and remote.
- Playback that just works. Wide codec support including AV1, HEVC, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, HDR10+, and audio passthrough. Dolby Vision Profile 7 direct plays on Apple and Android TV, converted in real time instead of transcoded. See Playback and Codecs.
- Offline downloads in original or smaller server-transcoded quality, with automatic folder organization and offline subtitles. See Downloads.
- Ebooks and audiobooks. Read EPUB, MOBI, AZW/AZW3, PDF, and comic archives. Play M4B audiobooks with chapter navigation.
- Retro games browsed and played in-app from a server game library, with gamepad support and save states that sync between devices. See Retro Games.
- Multi-server unified library that merges several Jellyfin and Emby servers into one browsable, searchable UI.
- A setup wizard on first run that asks how you want the app to look, with live previews built from your own artwork.
- Featured media bar with six layouts, plus optional in-bar trailer previews.
- Themes and a Theme Store with a built-in editor, server-side sync, and an OLED mode for true blacks.
- An integrated admin panel for settings, users, libraries, logs, devices, and analytics, plus a messages window for notes from your server admin.
- Discovery with Seerr built into the details screen, with trending, popular, and upcoming rows and request status overlays.
- Live TV and DVR with a program guide and recording management.
- Trickplay scrubbing as a single thumbnail, a filmstrip, or full screen, on both Jellyfin and Emby.
- Cinema Mode and segment skipping for pre-rolls, intros, credits, and SponsorBlock.
- Casting and remote control over Google Cast, DLNA, and AirPlay, plus control of other Jellyfin devices on your network.
- SyncPlay for synchronized group watching.
- Personal ratings as a like, five stars, or a score out of ten, usable to sort or filter a library.
- Ratings from MDBList and TMDB, home row customization, parental controls with PIN, and in-app update checks.
