Hosted media server

Your media, in every app.

Keep your sources where they are and reach them from the apps you already use — on Apple TV, iPhone, iPad and anything Jellyfin-compatible.

Free to start. Cancel any time.

How it works

Three steps, once.

Setup is a single evening's work at most, and it is the last time you have to think about any of it.

  1. 01

    Add your sources

    Point Portsyde at the sources and services you already have. You do it once, in one place, and it stays done.

  2. 02

    Connect your apps

    Give an app your Portsyde address and sign in with your username and password — or approve a six-digit Quick Connect code on a TV.

  3. 03

    Press play

    Everything you own shows up in the app you prefer, on every device in the house. Playback runs straight from the source.

Why Portsyde

Infrastructure, not another app to babysit.

A server that is always up, always reachable, and never in the way of the apps you already like.

  • Plus

    Instant starts

    Portsyde remembers the fastest path to each title and warms it before you press play, so the first frame arrives without the wait.

  • Works with the apps you already use

    Atlas, Infuse and Swiftfin and anything else Jellyfin-compatible. Nothing new to learn, and no app you have to switch to.

  • Pair a TV in seconds

    The TV shows a six-digit code, you approve it from your phone, and it signs itself in. No password typed on a remote.

  • One setup for the whole household

    Configure your sources and services once. Every person and every device in the house reaches the same server.

  • Nothing stored

    We never hold your media. Portsyde keeps the configuration and the connections; the playback itself runs source to device.

  • Your data stays yours

    The credentials for your own services are encrypted, and deleting your account takes the whole configuration with it.

Compatible apps

Bring the app you already like.

Portsyde presents itself as a server, so any Jellyfin-compatible app can sign in and play. These are the ones we test against.

Questions

The four we are asked most.

What is Portsyde?

Portsyde is a hosted personal media server. You keep your sources and services where they already are, configure them once, and every app you own connects to Portsyde as its server. Nothing to install, nothing to keep running at home.

Which apps can I use?

Atlas, Infuse, Swiftfin, Jellyfin apps, Findroid and Streamyfin. Atlas is ours; the rest are apps you may already own. Anything Jellyfin-compatible can point at your Portsyde address.

What is Quick Connect?

Sign-in for a TV, without typing a password on a remote. The app shows a six-digit code, you approve it from your phone or from your Portsyde dashboard, and the TV signs itself in. Quick Connect is included on every plan.

What does Plus add?

Instant starts — Portsyde remembers the fastest path to each title and warms it before you press play — delivery from the region nearest the viewer, higher limits, priority capacity and email support. Plus is $19.99/year, or $1.99/month.
