Jellyfin-desktop is a cross-platform media client for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It functions as a native wrapper that provides a standalone desktop shell for browsing and playing movies, music, and shows from a remote home media server.

The application integrates Chromium with native operating system GPU drivers to provide hardware-accelerated video playback for high-resolution media streams. It utilizes an Electron-based runtime to render a web-based user interface within a native desktop environment.

The client manages local file-system caching for session data and application assets to reduce startup times and network requests. It handles system-level operations through an inter-process communication bridge between the renderer and main processes.
