Trailstation is a synced, offline radio you build from your own audio files. Every station you make loops on the iphone clock, so two phones that tune into the same station play the exact same moment — the same track, the same second. There's no host device, no shared Wi-Fi, no cell signal, and no account. Pick a station, press Tune In, and you're listening together. It's built for the places music apps give up: a group hike with no network coverage, a campsite, a long drive through a dead zone, a backcountry ski run. As long as everyone has the station, everyone's in sync. BUILD YOUR OWN STATIONS • Import audio from your library or Files — AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, and more. • Track titles and artists are read from your files automatically. • Reorder tracks, rename, and edit any time the station is off air. • Set a crossfade from 0 to 12 seconds — 0 is fully gapless. TUNE IN TOGETHER, NO HOST NEEDED • Stations loop pinned to the clock, so every device lands on the same moment. • No one is "the host" — there's nothing to connect to and nothing to drop. • Output-latency compensation and route-change re-sync keep AirPods and Bluetooth speakers locked to the clock too. • Fine-Tune Sync lets you nudge the timing for a specific pair of headphones, and remembers it for next time. STAY IN TIME OFF THE GRID • On a multi-day trip with no signal, two device clocks can slowly drift. • Sync Time Nearby matches them directly, device to device, over a short-range connection — no internet and no servers involved. KEEP A BIG LIBRARY TIDY • Group stations into folders, and search across station, track, and artist. • Whatever you're listening to stays pinned at the top of the home screen. SHARE A STATION • AirDrop or Email a self-contained .trailstation file — it opens straight into Trailstation on the other device, fully offline. • Or Save to iCloud Drive and share a link from Files. • Export Track Files hands back a plain folder of the original audio. ON YOUR WRIST • A full Apple Watch app plays your stations in sync with everyone else. • Send your built stations to the watch from your iPhone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no analytics. • Trailstation collects nothing. Your audio stays on your devices (and your own iCloud Drive only if you choose to share that way).
