About

Xonora

Features
Read full description

Xonora is a native iPhone and iPad app for Music Assistant, the free, open-source music server you run yourself. Your server holds your library and talks to your streaming services and speakers; Xonora is the app you use it from, at home, in the car and on your wrist. You need your own Music Assistant server. Xonora does not host, supply or sell music, and it never connects to a streaming service itself. EVERYTHING YOUR SERVER CAN DO STAYS FREE There is no paywall. Multi-room, hi-res, CarPlay, Siri, Apple Watch: none of it sits behind a payment, now or later. PLAY ANYWHERE - Your iPhone, iPad or Mac becomes a speaker on your server, clock-synced with the rest of the house, gapless, up to 192 kHz / 24-bit, over an encrypted link. - Pick any player in the house, see what it is doing, move playback between rooms, group speakers, set volume without leaving Now Playing. - Listen away from home through your server's remote access, with the app picking the connection back up when the network changes. IN THE CAR, ON YOUR WRIST - CarPlay: browse your library and control playback from the dash, with artwork on every row. - Siri: "Play the album Blue on Xonora", for tracks, albums, artists and playlists. - Apple Watch companion, full lock-screen and Control Center controls, background playback. YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR WAY - Artists, albums, playlists, genres, folders, favorites, audiobooks with series and chapters, podcasts, and radio with live song information. - Search that holds up on very large collections. - Now Playing with lyrics, the queue, the stream format, and colours taken from the cover. Swipe sideways to move between your players. - Your server's own sleep timer, crossfade, Keep playing and AI DJ, surfaced in the app. NEARLY EVERYTHING IS A SETTING Section order, sorts, accent colour, canvas backgrounds, frosted or flat surfaces, light or dark, which tabs you see. Set it up once and it stays that way. Available in 33 languages. NOTHING OF YOURS REACHES US No account, no backend, no analytics. Your library and what you play travel between your device and your server only. The few things that go anywhere else, such as an optional lyrics lookup, are listed one by one in the privacy policy at xonora.app/privacy. Requires Music Assistant 2.9 or later; 2.10 recommended.
