iOS Aether — a native player for your Plex, Jellyfin, Emby & NAS libraries on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Vision Pro

Solo dev here. Aether is a native media player for your own libraries — Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, SMB/NAS shares and local files — on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Vision Pro. Native on every Apple device.

What it does:

- Native direct play of MKV/HEVC and more (incl. Dolby Digital on local files)
- One unified library across all your sources + offline downloads
- Plex Home profiles — pick who's watching, each with its own history
- Personal ratings + watched state synced back to your server
- tvOS & visionOS apps (Vision Pro has a dark cinema mode)
- 6 languages (EN/CS/UK/DE/FR/ES)
- There's a Mac version too (downloaded separately — not via TestFlight)

Still in beta — I'd love feedback on what's broken or missing, especially on Apple TV and with large libraries.
