Arpeggi vs Dromify

Arpeggi is an OpenSubsonic client designed with the same clean aesthetic as Apple’s apps, built for people who care about how their app feels. Whether you're at home, in the car, or completely offline, your library is always within reach, beautifully presented and ready to play. Gapless playback across AAC, FLAC, ALAC, and OPUS keeps your albums flowing exactly as they were meant to be heard. ReplayGain support ensures consistent volume across your entire collection, and server-side transcoding lets you balance quality and bandwidth. Connect to multiple Subsonic servers and music folders from a single app. Arpeggi's continuous queue system keeps the music going, while Song and Artist Station modes let you explore your collection in a whole new direction. Download your favourite albums and playlists in the background so your music is ready before you go offline. Scrobbles are cached locally with timestamps and synced when you're back online, so not a single play goes unrecorded. Create and edit playlists directly from the app. Full CarPlay support keeps your eyes on the road. A customisable design means the experience adapts to you, not the other way around. Built entirely in SwiftUI with a native-first approach, every interaction in Arpeggi feels at home on iOS fast, fluid, and familiar. Requires a Subsonic or Open Subsonic compatible server.

Dromify is a fast, native music player for your own music collection. Connect it to your Navidrome server (or any Subsonic-compatible server) and play your whole library on every Apple device you own. No subscriptions. No ads. No tracking. Just your music.

It doesn't come with any music. You'll need access to a Navidrome server or another Subsonic API–compatible music server. Navidrome is free and open source, and runs on a NAS, a Raspberry Pi or almost anything else. Dromify isn't affiliated with or endorsed by the Navidrome or Subsonic projects.
