Offbeat Player

Your music, downloaded and always there. No spinners. No errors. No signal required. Offbeat connects to your own Plex Media Server and turns your library into a real offline music player. Download the albums and playlists you care about, then flip on Download View — one toggle that instantly filters your entire library, search, and Now Playing queue down to exactly what's on your phone. No half-loaded artwork, no "connection lost" banners, no waiting for a signal that isn't coming. If you downloaded it, it plays. WHY OFFBEAT Most Plex clients assume you're always connected. Offbeat assumes you're not. It's built for commutes underground, flights, patchy coverage, and anywhere your library needs to work without asking permission from a network first. DOWNLOAD VIEW One switch filters everything — library, artists, albums, search results, even Now Playing — to only what's downloaded. It's instant, not a reload. Turn it off to browse your full server catalog; turn it on and the app becomes a self-contained offline player. BUILT FOR YOUR LIBRARY Browse by artist, album, or genre with full artwork and metadata pulled straight from Plex. Fast, on-device search finds tracks, albums, and artists as you type — no network round-trip. DOWNLOADS THAT SURVIVE Downloads run in the background and pick up where they left off, even if you close the app or your phone restarts. Your play counts sync back to Plex once you're online again, so your listening history stays accurate everywhere. NOW PLAYING, DONE PROPERLY A persistent mini player follows you across the app. Full queue control, and audio pauses automatically when you unplug your headphones — every time. RECOMMENDATIONS Offbeat surfaces albums and artists from your own library worth revisiting, based on what you've actually been playing and downloading. PRIVACY Offbeat talks only to your own Plex server. Your Plex credentials live in the iOS Keychain — never in plain text, never sent anywhere else. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party servers in between. Requires an existing Plex Media Server with your music library. Offbeat is not made or endorsed by Plex Inc.
