Nest - Video Player

Nest is the beautiful, native way to watch everything on your own media server. Connect to Plex, Jellyfin or Emby and your movies and TV shows are ready to play in seconds — in stunning quality, with no monthly fee.

Built from the ground up in Swift for iPhone, iPad and Mac, Nest plays your files exactly as they are. No transcoding, no re-compression, no quality loss: just Direct Play of virtually any format, powered by the VLC engine.

WHY NEST

• DIRECT PLAY EVERYTHING — MKV, HEVC, H.264, AV1, 4K, HDR, 10-bit, multichannel audio. If your file has it, Nest plays it, straight from the source at full quality.

• THREE SERVERS, ONE APP — Plex, Jellyfin and Emby, side by side. Sign in the way each server expects (Plex secure browser login with 2FA; Jellyfin/Emby with your username and password).

• WATCH OFFLINE — Download movies and episodes to your device and take them on the plane, the train, anywhere. Your "Continue Watching" list can even download the next episode automatically.

• PICKS UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF — Resume playback to the exact second, on any device. Your progress stays in sync with your server, so it's the same on your TV and your phone.

• AUDIO & SUBTITLES, YOUR WAY — Switch audio tracks and subtitles on the fly, load external subtitle files, and set a preferred language that's selected automatically for every video.

• FAST AND OFFLINE-READY — Your libraries are cached so browsing is instant, even with no connection. Adjustable grid density, per-library search, and crisp artwork throughout.

• MAC AND iOS, NATIVELY — A true Mac app, not a stretched iPad port, and a true iPhone/iPad app. Keyboard shortcuts on Mac included.

• PRIVATE BY DESIGN — Nest has no account of its own and no tracking. It talks only to the server you point it at. Your viewing stays between you and your own hardware.

HOW IT WORKS

Nest is a player for media you already own and host yourself. You need your own Plex, Jellyfin or Emby server (running on a Mac, PC, NAS or home server) — Nest connects to it and plays your library. It does not include or stream any content on its own.

No subscription. No ads. Just your library, the way it should look.
