## What is Sovault?

Sovault is a music player for people who own their music.

Streaming services come and go. Your collection doesn't have to. Point Sovault at your files and it plays them — including the formats most players quietly refuse.

PLAYS 40+ FORMATS

MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, Opus — plus APE (Monkey's Audio), DSD (DSF/DFF), WavPack, TAK, TTA, Musepack, Shorten, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, AC-3, DTS, MLP/TrueHD, ATRAC, Speex, and more.

That old APE rip with a .cue, the DSD you bought years ago, the WavPack archive you forgot about — they all just play.


FIX GARBLED TAGS

Chinese and Japanese tracks ripped years ago often store their tags in GBK, Big5 or Shift-JIS, and show up as "ÍõÐÄÁè" everywhere else. Sovault detects the original encoding and repairs it — permanently, written back into the file.


YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR RULES

• Import from Files, folders, URLs, iCloud Drive — no limits, ever
• Full offline playback, with background audio and lock screen / Control Center controls
• A real file browser inside the app: move, rename, organize
• Edit tags and artwork for one track or hundreds at once
• Find what's broken: missing artwork, missing artist, garbled text
• Playlists, favorites, ratings, play counts
• Four Now Playing views — artwork, spinning vinyl, real-time spectrum (six styles), and synced lyrics that highlight line by line
• Last.fm scrobbling


NO ACCOUNT. NO CLOUD REQUIRED.

Sovault has no backend. There is no sign-up, no profile, nothing to log in to. Your music never passes through our servers, because we don't have any. Everything works offline.


PREMIUM

Free forever: importing (no limits), playback of MP3/AAC/ALAC/FLAC/WAV/AIFF/Opus, tag editing, encoding repair, playlists, the file browser, library issue detection, Last.fm, and embedded or .lrc lyrics.

Premium adds:
• Playback of 30+ advanced formats — APE, DSD, WavPack, TAK, WMA, DTS and more
• Browse and import straight from SMB, FTP and WebDAV servers
• Sync your library across devices via iCloud, or to your own NAS
• Auto-fill missing artwork, album, genre, year and time-synced lyrics
• CarPlay

One subscription covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. Try everything free for 14 days — no payment required to start.

Sovault is for audiophiles, NAS users, and anyone who believes their music collection deserves better than a forgotten folder.

Requires iOS 15.6 or later, macOS 13 or later.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.9.0 — 2026-08-25

• The 100-song import limit is gone. Import your entire library, free.
• New: start a 14-day free trial of every Premium feature — no payment required.
• Advanced format playback (APE, DSD, WavPack, TAK, WMA, DTS and 25+ more) and importing directly from SMB/FTP/WebDAV servers are now Premium features. Everything you've already imported stays in your library and stays visible; MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF and Opus remain free to play.
• New Auto-Organize: files are filed into Artist/Album folders on import and after tag edits. Off by default — turn it on in Settings.
• New sleep timer: stop at the end of the current track, or after a set number of minutes.
• New square artwork theme on the Now Playing screen, and a new sequential play mode that stops when the queue ends.
• Tidy Up gains two new categories: low-quality files, and possible duplicates — keep one copy, merge its play count, rating and playlists, and clear out the rest.
• New Activity Center collects batch imports, syncing, organizing and quality analysis in one place. Every batch import now writes a report you can open later, listing exactly what was added, skipped or failed — with the filenames.
• Bit rate, sample rate, channels, bit depth and codec are now stored for every track and shown in Get Info.
• Open audio files straight into Sovault from Files or Finder using Open With.
• Sync improvements: empty folders and .lrc lyrics files now travel with your library.
• iOS lists now use the system multi-select gesture, and the mini player shows playback progress along its bottom edge.
• Many fixes: shuffle no longer reverts to sequential order after two tracks, batch tag edits refile correctly, multi-select actions apply to the whole selection, and empty folders stop reappearing across devices. On Mac, libraries of 1,000+ tracks scroll and switch far more smoothly, and list state is no longer lost when changing sections.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-07-27

• All-new player themes: live spectrum visualizer (6 styles, swipe to switch) and synced lyrics with karaoke-style highlighting (.lrc supported)
• Online lyrics: fetch manually or auto-fill while playing (enable in Settings)
• Last.fm: connect your account and scrobble your plays, with offline queue and Loved-track sync
• Tidy Up: find songs with missing artwork, missing info, or garbled tags in one place; batch-edit and fill metadata online (Premium)
• File manager: browse your library folders — rename, move, delete, and create folders (enable in Settings)
• macOS: floating mini player, full-window immersive player, improved queue panel
• Locate the current song instantly (long-press the mini player on iOS / ⌘L on Mac); filter songs by format
• Sync upgrades: preserve folder structure; two-way sync can optionally propagate deletions
• Screen stays awake while the player is open on iOS — great for lyrics
• Fixed Lock Screen / CarPlay progress not updating, sort order resetting after relaunch, and several display issues

### 1.3.1 — 2026-07-15

• Broader audio format support: APE, WavPack, TTA, TAK, Musepack, DSD and many more lossless and niche formats now play directly
• Tag encoding repair: automatically detects and fixes GBK/Big5 garbled text, with a manual fix that writes corrections back permanently
• Customizable columns in the macOS song list, including file type and size
• Pull-to-search added to every list for faster browsing
• Playback automatically resumes when Bluetooth or headphones reconnect
• Fixed several issues: incorrect playback during phone calls, favorite heart display, and unresponsive Restore Purchases
• Stability and performance improvements

### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-06

• Added WebDAV browsing and import — connect directly to a WebDAV server to import music
• Improved remote connection forms: more reliable port auto-fill and clearer WebDAV credential requirements
• Fixed an issue where hiding all tabs could hide the Settings entry point; refreshed the iOS 15–17 tab bar to match newer iOS

### 1.1.2 — 2026-06-26

This update includes bug fixes and stability improvements.
