## What is Offline Music Player?

Your music. Your files. Every library you have, in one player.

Drift is a music player for people who still own their music — and for the
rest of their listening too. Import your collection, point it at the
server in your closet, or connect an account: everything browses the same
way, and the whole screen becomes the song.

EVERY LIBRARY, ONE PLAYER
• Your files — imported over Wi-Fi from any computer's browser, from the
  Files app, or straight off a network drive.
• Apple Music and Spotify — connect an account and it browses like the
  rest of your music: the same shelves, the same rows, the same playing
  screen.
• Your own server — Navidrome, Subsonic, Jellyfin, Emby. Browse the whole
  catalog, stream on demand, download to keep offline. Each service shows
  its playlists and a Downloads shelf.

A PLAYBACK SCREEN WITH NO BUTTONS
• Tap to play or pause. Double-tap to favorite.
• Swipe up or down to change songs — real paging, like flipping vinyl.
• Hold either edge and every place you can go appears under your thumb.
• Tap the song's title for the queue, its format, and its controls.

MADE OF YOUR ALBUM ART
• Covers extend edge-to-edge; the empty space is painted to continue them.
• The entire app — accents, panels, even the status bar — recolors to
  match what's playing. True-black OLED dark mode.

A COLLECTOR'S ENGINE
• Plays everything natively — MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, plus OGG,
  Opus, WavPack, Musepack, Monkey's Audio, TTA and more. No conversion;
  your files stay byte-identical.
• Gapless playback. Ten-band equalizer with curves you can name and keep.
  AirPlay 2. Real codec detection.
• Synced, karaoke-style lyrics from your own files — embedded in the
  track, or a .lrc file you add. Fixes garbled CJK tags from old rips.
• Tags and artwork auto-complete from iTunes and MusicBrainz — every
  correction reviewable and revertible. Editions and remasters shelve as
  one album, the way a collection should.
• Duplicate finder that recommends the best-quality copy to keep.

IN THE CAR
• CarPlay: your library, favorites, Daily 15 and playlists on the car
  screen, with the controls where your hand expects them.

YOURS, KEPT
• Playlists, favorites, play history, lyrics you added and your EQ curves
  back up to your own iCloud Drive — and come back on a new phone. Songs
  that arrive later rejoin their playlists on their own.
• Optional Last.fm scrobbling: your plays go to your own account, and
  Drift never reads anything back.

MIXES, IF YOU WANT THEM
• Daily 15: a fresh mix each morning that holds steady all day.
  Rediscover: songs you loved and haven't heard in months. Everything is
  worked out on your phone — no suggestions on the playback screen, ever.

Seven days of everything, then one purchase. No subscription, no
account, no ads — Drift Unlimited is bought once and is yours for good:
every format, every library, every drive and server, the wheel, CarPlay,
and the automatic — tags and artwork completed on import, whole-library
maintenance in one tap, duplicate cleanup.

Drift 3.1

TITLE FONTS
Eight faces to choose from, each with matching Chinese and Japanese.
Put the song's name on the left or the right.

YOUR LIBRARY
Songs are filed under the album artist, and compilations stay together.
Change a tag or a cover in a file and Drift picks it up.

FOLDERS AND SONGS
Sort folders by title, date added or length. A Play button on every
list. Album pages show the bit depth.

Opens sooner, swipes smoother.

### 3.0.1 — 2026-09-04

playback and up next bug fixes, navidrome and jellyfin performance improvments.

Drift 3.0 — every library you have, in one player.

APPLE MUSIC AND SPOTIFY, INSIDE DRIFT
Connect an account and it browses like the rest of your music — the same
shelves, the same rows, the same playing screen. No jumping to another
app to see what you own.

YOUR OWN SERVER
Navidrome, Subsonic, Jellyfin and Emby. Browse the whole catalog, play on
demand, download anything to keep offline. Each service shows its
playlists and a Downloads shelf.

NETWORK DRIVES
SMB and WebDAV, in the app: your files on your own drive are your files —
play straight off the share, nothing copied.

DRIFT IN THE CAR
CarPlay: your library, favorites, Daily 15 and playlists on the car
screen, with the controls where your hand expects them.

THE WHEEL
Hold either edge and every place you can go appears on a rim under your
thumb. Scrub to choose, let go to commit. The drawer stays exactly where
it was.

YOUR LIBRARY TRAVELS
Playlists, favorites, play history, added lyrics and your EQ curves back
up to your own iCloud Drive and come back on a new phone — songs that
arrive later rejoin their playlists on their own.

THE EQUALIZER, REBUILT
Eight tuned starting points — Flat, Harman, Harman Bass+, V-Shaped,
Vocal, Warm, Bright and Loudness — and any curve you build yourself can
be saved by name. Crossfade now runs with the equalizer on, on every
track and every format.

LISTENING
Minutes, top songs, artists and genres, your 24-hour clock — what you
listened to is yours. Optional Last.fm scrobbling.

ARTISTS, PROPERLY
Artist pages with an About section; albums, EPs and singles on their own
shelves; editions and remasters filed as one album.

FASTER, STEADIER
A rebuilt audio path with a deeper buffer. Apple Music starts faster,
skips steadier and plays gapless. The library switcher floats above the
player. Fixes for freezes, artwork drawn at its real size, a quieter
startup, and playback that resumes where you left it.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-08-03

Drift 2.0 — the player is free.

THE WHOLE PLAYER, FREE
The 100-song cap is gone. Your entire collection — every format, gapless,
the ten-band equalizer, Wi-Fi import, folders that play in place — free,
with no account and no ads.

A CANVAS THAT MOVES WITH THE MUSIC
The painted space beneath your album art now breathes: soft washes of the
cover's own color bloom on the beat and dissolve. Never over the art,
never over the words — and it rests with Reduce Motion or Low Power Mode.

UP NEXT, THE MOMENT YOU ASK
Press the song title and Up Next is simply there — no wind-up, with a
soft tick under your finger. The playing song leads with its genre and
true format — codec, bitrate, sample rate, bit depth — and a heart to
favorite it. The queue follows: tap to jump, drag to reorder, swipe to
remove.

FOR NOW
At the foot of the drawer: a mix for right now, named for the moment it
was made for — the hour, the day, headphones or speaker, even the weather
if you allow it. One tap plays it. Worked out entirely on your phone;
your listening history never leaves it.

LISTENING
Your stats grew into a screen of their own: minutes, top songs, artists,
genres, your 24-hour clock — led by Explore, which finds songs beyond
your library from what you actually play and finish, with previews from
Apple Music.

ONE LIBRARY, ONE DOOR
Folders and drives moved into Library, beside Artists, Albums, Songs,
Genres and Recently Added. The drawer keeps only what you reach for.

SMARTER SMART PLAYLISTS
Rules can now tell your sources apart: songs from one folder, or from one
network drive, combined with everything else — format, year, play count,
last played. Pick the folder or drive from a list instead of typing it.

DARKER, WARMER
A new default cover for songs without artwork in dark mode — bronze and
rose, the night version of the light one — plus a quieter type ladder
across the playing screen and panels.

WITH DRIFT UNLIMITED
One purchase, no subscription, ever:
• Tags and artwork completed as songs arrive — and every fix previewed
  free before you keep it
• Line-by-line lyrics: Drift finds them in your own files and follows
  along in time
• Duplicates found and cleaned, best copy recommended
• Whole-library maintenance in one pass
• Playlists from a mood you describe, on your device

Already own Unlimited? All of it is already yours.

ALSO
• Import notices announce once, then wait quietly until reviewed
• The opening guide teaches the title press
• A long list of fixes

No account, no subscription, no ads. Your music never leaves your phone.
