On the big screen

A programme, not a spreadsheet.

Most media apps show your films as a grid of files. Palais presents them the way a cinema would: one feature at a time, framed in gold, with the scene already playing.

Palais on Apple TV: The Little Shop of Horrors playing inside the gilded frame on the home screen

The feature presentation

Every visit opens on a scene.

The home screen frames one film from your library in gilt. After a moment its own trailer, or a scene from the film itself, fades in behind the title, with sound if you like. Below it, the shelves: Continue watching, Next up, My List, collections and genres.

His Girl Friday's page in Palais on Apple TV: poster in a gilded arch, credits and quality

The film's own page

The poster in an arch, the credits in gold.

Who directed it and who's in it, its running time and rating, and exactly what you're about to watch: resolution, HDR, sound. Choose the soundtrack and subtitles, add it to My List, download it, or pick up where you left off.

Included, not extra

No extra pass to watch your own films.

Other media players charge extra to watch away from home or to download for a trip. In Palais they come with the one purchase.

Away from home

Watch your library on holiday or on the train, with no extra pass, once your server can be reached from outside your home: here's how. Pick the quality for Wi-Fi and, separately, for mobile data.

Downloads

Keep films and episodes on your iPhone or iPad for the plane or the train: the original file or a smaller copy. Where you stopped syncs back when you're online.

HDR, kept intact

HDR10, HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision play as they are stored, through Apple's own player. A tag on every poster tells you which.

Everything in the box

And everything else you'd expect.

Every soundtrack, every subtitle

Choose any audio track or subtitle before or during the film. Palais remembers your language, and forced subtitles come on by themselves.

Know what's playing

Gold tags show resolution, HDR, codec, sound and subtitles, and whether the file plays as it is or is being converted.

Continue anywhere

Continue watching and Next up on every screen, Skip intro and an Up next countdown, and Top Shelf on Apple TV.

Your library, beautifully kept

Shelves for collections, 4K, genres and classics, My List, cast pages, extras from your discs, and search with filters.

Set up in a minute

Palais finds your Jellyfin server on any port; sign the TV in with a code from your iPhone. Or try the demo library first.

Private, and personal

No accounts, ads or tracking. If something's wrong, a problem report goes straight to the person who builds Palais.

iPhone & iPad

The same palace, in your hand.

The phone app carries the same gilded look, downloads films for offline viewing, plays with AirPlay and picture-in-picture, and signs your TV in with a code.

The 3 days free trial costs nothing and never turns into a purchase by itself. Prices may vary by country and include local taxes.
