Leaf Player

Your own media, wherever it lives.

Personal media playback for iOS

Your files.
Your player.

Remember when playing a video on your phone just meant tapping the file and watching it? Leaf Player brings that peaceful simplicity to your iPhone and iPad—without ads, an algorithmic feed, or a Leaf Player account.

Audio and video, handled with care

No media server required

Connect directly to SMB or WebDAV, pick a folder through Files, select files from Google Drive, connect OneDrive, or use local Wi-Fi transfer. Jellyfin is supported when you already want a richer media-server catalog.

Designed for unreliable networks

Playback positions are saved locally. Clear source states and Server Check diagnostics help explain authentication, reachability, and playback problems without pretending an empty library is normal.

Made for media owners

No algorithmic feed, no social clutter—just the collection you chose. Your folder organization remains the source of truth, while favorites and resume points add convenience inside Leaf Player.

Built for iOS 17+

Leaf Player is a native iPhone and iPad app. Lock Screen audio controls, background listening, system file picking, Keychain credential storage, and Apple purchase management fit naturally into the platform.

“A media player built for collectors who refuse to rent what they already own.”
