- Apple-device households with Jellyfin libraries
- Worth noticing
- Spark describes adaptive cellular quality and synced lyrics; Sear says importing a recipe again updates it instead of duplicating it.
Field notes
Spark lists support for FLAC, ALAC, and WAV, and says playback adjusts for cellular use before returning to higher quality. Ember describes separate household profiles, optional PINs, and Apple TV Home Screen recommendations. Sear’s web version is marked live for invited households, while its iPhone and iPad versions are marked as coming; Hearth is explicitly labeled in development. The homepage names Gather but the supplied excerpt does not explain it.
