## What is playBridge?

playBridge is a clean, blazing-fast music player for listening to YOUR music: the audio files you keep on your iPhone, organized simply and without clutter.

No mandatory subscriptions, no ads, no data collection. Just your music.

YOUR LIBRARY
• Browse by Albums, Artists and Songs
• Create and manage your own playlists
• Play or shuffle your whole library or a single playlist
• Artwork, background playback, and controls from the Lock Screen and headphones
• Supported formats: MP3, AAC/M4A, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, M4B

IN THE CAR WITH CARPLAY
playBridge works with CarPlay using a large-button interface that's simple and safe to use while driving. The Now Playing screen opens automatically for every track.

ADDING YOUR MUSIC
Transfer your files from a Mac using Finder or the Files app, or with playBridge Loader, the free Mac companion app that manages your songs and playlists. playBridge Loader is a free download from daniele.ch (it is not on the Mac App Store). Transferred files show up instantly, with no import step.

APPLE MUSIC TOO (optional)
If you have an Apple Music subscription, you can search and play the entire catalog right inside playBridge and collect tracks in a dedicated playlist — alongside your own files, but always kept separate.

FREE AND RESPECTFUL

Available in English, Italian, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese.
