About
Own your music. Not your subscription.
Refrain is an offline music player for people who already have the files — songs you made, songs you bought, songs you ripped, songs a friend sent you.
Bring them in. Tidy them up. Then enjoy them properly. No cloud, no account, nothing to subscribe to.
IMPORT — get everything in
• Files, iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or any app with a share sheet
• Tap an audio file anywhere in Files and open it here
• Drag a whole folder in from your Mac or PC over USB
• Send files from a computer's browser over Wi-Fi — nothing to install
• Sync a folder and new songs appear on their own
• MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV, FLAC and AIFF, reading the tags and cover art already inside them
ORGANIZE — make it yours
• Fix the artist, the album and the cover on fifty songs in one go
• Rename the track that arrived called "untitled-final-v3"
• Put your own image on anything that came in without a cover
• Browse by artist, by album, or search the whole library at once
• Playlists you build by hand and reorder by dragging
• Non-destructive: your original files are never modified, only what Refrain shows
ENJOY — the part you did it for
• Line-by-line synced lyrics that scroll and highlight as the song plays
• Reads .lrc and .srt files, or lyrics already embedded in the track
• Presentation mode blows the words up full screen, landscape, for the room
• Eight visualizers, in any color you like
• A ten-band equalizer with a preamp and the usual presets
• An AI DJ that talks between tracks — what just played, what is coming, and something about it
THE AI DJ, IF YOU WANT ONE
• The built-in voice works offline, with no key and no sign-up
• Or use your own OpenAI, Google Gemini or ElevenLabs key
• Warm in the morning, plain at work, quiet at night — or set your own hours
• Off by default, and one switch away whenever you have had enough of it
THE REST
• Background playback with lock screen and Control Center controls
• Sleep timer, 5 to 60 minutes or at the end of this track
• Shuffle, repeat one, repeat all
• Tells you where the sound is actually coming out — phone, AirPods, car, AirPlay
• Dark, quiet, and built to get out of the way
MADE FOR PEOPLE WHO KEEP THEIR OWN MUSIC
Tracks you made with AI tools. Bandcamp purchases. CD rips and vinyl digitizations. Field recordings, live sets, demos, and the folder of MP3s you have carried between four phones. If you own the file, this is somewhere to keep it.
If you make songs on Suno or anywhere else, download them the normal way and drop them in here. The app will not fetch anything from a link on your behalf — that is a line worth not crossing, and downloading from the site you made the song on works fine.
WHAT IT WILL NOT DO
No ads. No account. No sign-in. No library upload. No listening history going anywhere. The app makes no network requests at all unless you turn on a cloud DJ voice and give it your own key.
