About

Soundpath

Features

Soundpath turns the music you already own into a living, self-organizing library — and it does all of it right on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded, no account is needed, and it works completely offline. Point Soundpath at your local files or your Music library and it listens to every track on-device — tempo, energy, mood, brightness and more — then builds playlists, a smart queue and a visual map around how your music actually sounds, not around genre tags. WHAT YOU GET • Self-building playlists — your collection organizes itself into shelves you'll actually open. • Wave — an endless smart queue that flows from one track to the next by sound, not by genre. Pick the feel: Most Similar, Slow Drift, Energy Rising or Winding Down. • Pick music in one tap — for driving, running, working, sleeping, walking and more. • Moods — songs grouped by how they feel. • Library stats — see your sound at a glance: tempo, energy, decades and more. • Music map — a beautiful 2D map of your whole library, laid out by how tracks sound and colored by mood. BRING YOUR OWN MUSIC • Import audio files or a whole folder — MP3, FLAC, WAV, AAC, AIFF and more. • Works great with a music library or anything in the Files app, including iCloud Drive. • Reads your system Music library too. Both sources merge into one collection. 100% PRIVATE, 100% ON-DEVICE • All analysis happens on your iPhone using Apple's audio frameworks. • No servers, no account, no tracking, no ads. • Your music and your listening never leave your device. PLAYBACK DONE RIGHT • Background audio with full lock-screen and Control Center controls. • In Wave, every track comes with a short "why this plays next" explanation. Note: Apple Music streaming tracks are DRM-protected and can't be analyzed — import your own files to analyze anything. Soundpath is for people who own their music and want it to feel alive again — private, offline, and tuned to your ears.
