While looking for some alternatives to Swiftfin and Infuse, I’ve found these:
Reefy - mentioned here / GitHub
Fork of Swiftfin as the author was fed up with the lack of updates.
$8.99 one-time IAP
JellyTV - Homepage
£1.99/month, £29.99/year (looks like there’s a discounted option at £14.99/year), or £39.99 for life.
The maths is not quite mathing here as the for-life IAP is £39.99, the familiy upgrade is another £39.99 which makes £79.98 total — but the “family-for-life” option is £89.99 for some reason. (Makes you wonder whether this was vibe-coded.)
Neptune - Homepage
Currently in beta and you need to ask on their Discord for the Testflight link.
Has anyone tried any of these?
Okay so they just re-wrote the commit history?
And it seems like the app is just an LLM-powered Liquid Glass UI refresh with some LLM-powered bug fixes. I get that Claude tokens are expensive, so I guess it’s fine to charge money from the people that are happy about these changes. But it also feels a bit discrediting towards the Swiftfin authors…
Yeah, that rewrite doesn’t sit well with me either. Thanks for investigating.
And my gut feeling is that Neptune will also be some vibe-coded thing…
I honestly don’t mind vibe coding too much if there is a significant improvement. But to me at least, this isn’t one.
