The gap

Plex got expensive. Jellyfin is a pain. Nothing sits in the middle.

Self-hosted media forces a bad choice. Navarre is the missing option.

Plex

Polished, but increasingly paywalled

Lifetime price went $120 to $250 to $750. "Watch from anywhere" is now a paid, enforced subscription. Your own files, behind their paywall.

Jellyfin

Powerful, but a chore to set up

A great engine - the one Navarre is built on - with generic apps and a remote-access setup of reverse proxies and port forwarding that most people would rather skip.

Navarre is open like Jellyfin, polished and turnkey like Plex - and you pay for remote access once, not every month.

Plex Pass lifetime pricing per Plex's own announcements: held at $119.99 for years, raised to $249.99 (April 2025), rising to $749.99 (July 2026). Source.

What makes it different

Three things no one else combines

Everything else is a "media app." These are the reasons Navarre exists.

A home that's actually beautiful

An opinionated, minimal, 10-foot design - your library, not a wall of clutter. Your "James Bond" folder stays a collection, not a flattened mess.

It sets itself up

Point it at your Jellyfin server and it does the rest: correct libraries, artwork, and info for every movie and show. Browsing in minutes, not hours. (No server yet? A guided setup is on the roadmap - join the waitlist.)

🌎

Watch from anywhere - pay once

No port forwarding, no reverse proxy, no networking degree. The feature Plex turned into a subscription is a one-time unlock here - yours for good.

Straight answers

Fair questions, answered honestly

The things a careful self-hoster asks before handing over an email address.

How does watch-from-anywhere actually work?

Your server opens a secure, encrypted tunnel out to your devices - no port forwarding, no reverse proxy, no router surgery. Pair a device once with a code, and it streams from home wherever it is.

Does my video go through Navarre's servers?

No. Your stream travels encrypted from your server to your device; Navarre's servers handle your purchase and pairing, never your media. On some networks the encrypted stream passes through a relay that cannot read it.

What do I need to run it?

A Jellyfin server with your media on it, and something to watch on. Navarre runs on Windows, Android TV, and Google TV, with phone apps alongside - most people set up on the desktop first, where typing is easy, then sign the TV in. No server yet? A guided setup is on the roadmap.

What happens if Navarre disappears?

At home: nothing. The app is free on your network and never phones home to keep playing. Remote access runs over your own tunnel account, so paired devices keep working too. Your media stays in your files, in open formats.

Is it open source?

Navarre's app is our own code, built on the open Jellyfin ecosystem. Your library and files stay in open formats on your server - run Navarre alongside any other Jellyfin client, or drop it any time. No lock-in is the promise; owning our code is how a polished app stays a one-time price.

Will the price pull a Plex?

The unlock is one-time, per household, forever. It never converts to a subscription, and what you bought stays bought. If running costs ever force a premium extra (like a full-speed relay), it will be an optional add-on - never a paywall on what you already own.

Couldn't I just set up Jellyfin + a tunnel myself, free?

Genuinely, yes - and if that sounds fun, you don't need us. Navarre is for the version of you that wants it working in five minutes, and for everyone else on the couch.
