JellyMold 1.5 is on the App Store as of 9 November 2026. If you have automatic updates turned on it will arrive by itself, and if not you can get it from the App Store.
Pick up where you left off, from anywhere. JellyMold 1.5 adds a home-screen widget, Siri and Shortcuts, and a sleep timer.
New
- Home-screen widget. See what you were watching, with the time left, and tap to carry on. Small, medium and large sizes, plus the Lock Screen. Touch and hold the widget to choose its background.
- Quick actions. Touch and hold the JellyMold icon to resume, open one of your libraries, or search.
- Siri. Say “Resume playing on JellyMold”, or name a show you are watching: “Continue watching Planet Earth on JellyMold”. While something plays, Siri’s own controls work too: “Pause”, “Skip ahead 30 seconds”.
- Shortcuts. Twenty JellyMold actions for your own shortcuts and automations: play, pause, skip, set subtitles, get Continue Watching or Up Next, mark as watched, download and more. Settings has a new Siri & Shortcuts page with ideas to start from.
- Sleep timer. In the player’s settings, stop after 5 to 60 minutes, a time of your own, or the end of this episode. A small timer shows over the picture while it runs.
- No more black bars. Films with black bars inside the picture now fill the screen. JellyMold remembers each film and episode, across your devices.
Improved
- Smoother streaming. JellyMold now builds a bigger buffer early on Wi-Fi and keeps it in Low Power Mode, so a busy network or server is less likely to stall playback.
- Subtitles stored inside large files now load reliably, even when your server takes a while to prepare them.
- Cast and crew photos on a show’s page appear straight away.
Fixed
- Choosing your Apple TV again from the AirPlay menu no longer freezes JellyMold.
- Starting a film while your Apple TV is already chosen now plays it on the TV, not on your iPhone with the sound on the TV.
- The AirPlay button no longer stays blue after you stop AirPlay.
- The New row on the home screen no longer shows empty spaces, or films from another library, when one of your libraries has no content type set.
