Games
Over 2,200 games, with covers, ratings and genres. Look through Discover, Top rated and New releases, or search with the PS5's own keyboard.
Press Download and the app gets the files, unpacks them and installs the game. If a big download stops, it carries on where it left off.
- Shows how many of a game's links run on your firmware
- Shows how many consoles a game started on, from players' anonymous stats
- Checks your free space before it starts
- TorBox and AllDebrid for full-speed downloads
Homebrew
More than 200 homebrew apps, each one installed from its developer's own GitHub release. Search them, update them all in one go, and keep your save data when an app updates.
- 35 emulators
- 31 video and music apps
- 19 jailbreak tools and loaders
- 18 file and server tools
The list updates every 6 hours. It's based on nexgen999's PS5 Repository List.
Phone companion
Control Jobee'sLair from your phone. Downloads and installs move live, and your Library, homebrew, TorBox and AllDebrid keys and settings are all there. When the console asks you to type, type on the phone instead, or use it as a remote. It runs in the phone's browser, so there's nothing to install.
- In Jobee'sLair, open Settings and turn on Phone companion.
- Pick a six-digit PIN.
- Scan the QR code on your TV and type the PIN.
It only works on your home network. Wrong PINs make it wait longer each time, and it locks after 20 tries.
What's in Jobee'sLair
All of it works with the controller.
Downloads
- Download queuePause, resume and multi-part games. Finished games install through ShadowMount+ when you close the app.
- TorBox and AllDebridAdd your key and supported hosts download at full speed, with no browser step.
- Links from your phoneA host that wants its check passed: open the page on your phone or in the PS5's browser, and the console takes the link.
Library
- Make RoomEvery game and app on every drive, with your play time. Free up space and move games between drives.
- Fix itWhen a game won't start, it reads the console's log, tries the known fixes and tells you what went wrong.
- Started for playersA game's page shows how many consoles it started on, and how many on your firmware.
Homebrew
- Update allEvery app with an update, updated in one go from its developer's release.
- Saves keptUpdating an app keeps its data. Removing one asks first.
- Search and feedsSearch the whole list, or add a catalog feed by its address, on the console or from your phone.
The app

PS5 React
Make PS5 homebrew apps with React. Write JSX, check it in the desktop preview, then build a full-screen app for the console.
- Hooks, state and components, like regular React
- Controller focus built in: D-pad moves, Cross selects, Circle goes back
- Tailwind-style classes and Motion-style animation
- APIs for files, HTTP, big downloads and the controller
Made by half144 and the PS5 React contributors. The original repository is gone, so this one carries it on. Jobee'sLair is built with it.
