Jellyfin
FreeA fully self-controlled, free media server
Organize your movies, shows, music and photos into your own private streaming library on your own server, watchable anywhere — with no tracking, no phone-home, and no hidden fees.
Why we picked it
Jellyfin is the free-software answer to media servers like Plex and Emby: host your movie, TV and music collection on your own machine, let it auto-fetch artwork and sort by season, then stream smoothly to phones, TVs and browsers anywhere. All the data stays with you.
Built by volunteers, it explicitly promises no tracking, no phone-home, and no central servers harvesting your data, with the server and official clients free forever. For anyone who wants out of subscriptions and real control over their library, it's the top pick.
