Jukken (pronounced joo-kin) is more than an app. It's a design statement. Peruse this app store and look at today's music players: giant globs stuffed with functions and features. All trying to be all things to all people. Playlists, favorites and recents. Artists, genres and ads. Streaming and subscribing and searching — oh my! Jukken is here to stop this madness. Let's make music easy again! --- Jukken is the world’s simplest MP3 and M4A player (and yes, I did the competitive research to back this claim up!) Decades ago, you could listen to music on a device the size of a stick of chewing gum. Just load some MP3s and hit play. Jukken brings back that vibe with a single-screen interface that's super easy to use. Just how easy? 1. Fill a folder in the Files app with MP3s 2. Open Jukken 3. Select that folder Boom! Those MP3s immediately play on shuffle. Congrats: Now you’re Jukken! Jukken may not look like much but the app's got it where it counts: • Tap/swipe the cover art, use conventional buttons or your voice to control your music experience • Store MP3s locally for offline playback: Skip monthly subscriptions and own your music again • Toggle between shuffle (random order) and list (file name alphabetical order) song order • Need smarter playlist control? Simply organize your folders: Jukken looks for all MP3s and M4A files in subfolders • Clean interface with intuitive gestures and animation • Jukken does not collect any user data, so your questionable taste in music stays secret --- I designed and developed Jukken because I was fed up with my previous music player that refused to sync MP3s reliably. And after seeing all the alternatives out there, all of them were just way, way, way too much of what I didn't need. If you long for the day where music was just a simple shuffle away, Jukken's got you covered!
