Bring together the music you already own, without ads or a required OneMusic account. IMPORT & CLOUD MUSIC Import DRM-free audio from Files, Finder, folders, or ZIP archives. Read embedded tags and artwork, and match sidecar LRC lyrics. Connect a WebDAV server, browse and search folders, select songs, and download them to My Music for offline listening. WebDAV uses download-before-playback. WebDAV presets include Nutstore and common overseas services. Experimental Quark web sign-in and downloads are marked Beta and may stop working when the service changes. Baidu, Alipan, Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox have no direct sign-in; use an available Files provider or a WebDAV gateway you configure. Import Guide in the + menu explains audio formats, same-name LRC lyrics, embedded covers, and a downloadable sample ZIP. NAVIDROME & OPEN SUBSONIC Connect your own compatible server for streaming, offline downloads, server playlists, radio, jukebox, scrobbling, ReplayGain, gapless playback, crossfade, and synchronized lyrics. LISTEN & ORGANIZE Browse songs, albums, artists, genres, and composers. Create playlists, mark favorites, rate tracks, edit song information, manage the queue, adjust playback speed, and set a sleep timer. Use background playback, Lock Screen controls, AirPlay, EQ, and visualizers. Build rules-based Smart Mixes on device. OPTIONAL PRIVATE ICLOUD SYNC When enabled, OneMusic syncs library metadata and then each song’s audio, artwork, and LRC through your private CloudKit database on the same Apple ID. Your Navidrome cache and WebDAV connections remain separate. One-time ZIP and AirDrop imports are also free. OPTIONAL MEMBERSHIP Core playback, imports, cloud downloads, lyrics, playlists, EQ, visualizers, private iCloud sync, and JSON export are free. Annual and lifetime membership unlock extra theme choices and readable Markdown library reports. Verified existing lifetime supporters retain lifetime access. Annual membership renews automatically unless you cancel renewal; eligible customers may receive a 14-day introductory trial. Your local price and eligibility appear before purchase. Lifetime is a one-time purchase. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No OneMusic account, ads, or third-party tracking SDKs. WebDAV credentials and Quark sign-in sessions stay in this device’s Keychain and are excluded from iCloud sync and exports. Downloads connect directly to the server you configure. No sample songs or commercial music catalog are bundled. Import or connect only music you have the right to use. Terms of Use: https://oneapps.studio/terms Privacy Policy: https://oneapps.studio/privacy CARPLAY & NEW LIBRARY TOOLS Browse imported songs, folders, playlists and favorites with CarPlay, and use its Now Playing controls. Set up your music on iPhone before driving. Keep imported folder categories, transfer files over your local Wi-Fi network, and add multiple songs to playlists. Restore the last song, queue and position in a paused state after reopening. Use listening bookmarks, lyric timing adjustments, playlist search and ordering, M3U/M3U8 references and batch information/cover editing. Now Playing widgets and an Apple Watch iPhone remote use the same visual style. Apple Watch requires a connected iPhone and does not store audio for offline playback.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Christmas at none against OneMusic's 2. Christmas also leads on device support (5 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). OneMusic's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 44%) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
