Cinetry
Cinetry is a cross-platform media player for accessing and searching content from user-added servers such as Jellyfin, Emby, IPTV, and WebDAV.
What is Cinetry?
Cinetry is a native media player for macOS and other platforms that helps users watch video and listen to audio from their own media sources in one place. It is designed for people who use self-hosted or remote libraries and want a single app for browsing, playback, and switching between services without relying on a browser. Cinetry supports user-added sources including Jellyfin, Emby, IPTV, WebDAV, Subsonic, Navidrome, and other compatible libraries, with aggregated search across multiple servers. Recent releases also mention features such as local file import, search improvements, cache clearing, and playback refinements. The app is suited to home media setups where users manage several libraries or streaming endpoints and want a unified desktop viewing experience. Gstory publishes Cinetry as a cross-platform client with macOS builds alongside Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, and TV versions.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Cinetry is a media client meant to connect to servers and libraries you add yourself, so it may handle server addresses, login details, watch history, and cached media metadata as part of normal use. Network access and local storage are expected for this kind of app. If you use shared or unfamiliar media sources, be mindful of what credentials you enter and review any servers you connect before saving them in the app.
Recommendation: Keep Cinetry if you use it to access personal or self-hosted media libraries on your Mac. If you no longer use those services, you can remove the app and its related data to free space, though doing so may delete saved server connections, settings, and local cache.
