Tuneline

Tuneline is a polished media player for the playlists you already own. Open M3U or compatible playlist files from a source you have rights to access, and play them with a clean, distraction-free interface designed for a library you control. Tuneline does not provide any streams, playlists, or content of its own. It is a neutral player, comparable to VLC. You bring the playlist; Tuneline handles the playback, organization, and presentation. Built for everyday use: • Modern, cinematic interface with a deep-navy theme • Fast list and grid views that scale to thousands of items • Search across your entire library instantly • Favorites, recently viewed, and library categories in the sidebar • Picture-in-picture mode for multitasking • Background audio playback that continues when the screen is locked Privacy-first by design: • No advertising, no advertising identifiers, no third-party tracking • Standard HTTPS only — no custom encryption • Account creation is optional. Local-only mode keeps everything on your device. • If you choose cloud sync, only your own playlists, favorites, and library state are stored — nothing else. Smart organization: • Categorize, favorite, and rearrange items the way you want • Set reminders for upcoming items in your library • Optional calendar integration to keep your schedule in sync Content reporting: If you encounter a stream you believe infringes copyright or violates our policy, you can report it from inside the app or by emailing abuse@tuneline.app. Every report is reviewed. Legal: Tuneline is a media player. You are responsible for ensuring that the playlists you supply are from sources you are legally entitled to access. Tuneline does not endorse the streaming of copyrighted material without permission from the rights holder. Open standards. Your library. Your control.
