Your music. Your files. No internet, no ads, no subscription. A truly offline music player for your own library: MP3, FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AAC/M4A, AIFF, OGG Vorbis and Opus in full lossless quality — with real gapless playback. WHY THIS PLAYER • Truly offline — plays your local files, never needs a connection • No ads, no subscription, no account — ever • Gapless playback that actually works, for live albums, concept albums and DJ sets • Wi-Fi transfer: send music from your computer straight into the app in your browser • Import whole folders and keep their structure — an album stays an album • Or add files through the Files app on iPhone and Finder on your Mac • Albums and Artists with cover art, plus browsing by folder • Sort your songs by title, artist, album, date added or length • Manage your files in the app: delete, rename, move, make folders, select many at once • Edit tags and album artwork right on your phone • 10-band equalizer with presets • Playlists — build your own, import and export M3U • Sleep timer with fade-out • Crossfade between albums, gapless inside them • Genres tab, albums sorted by year with decade headers, a header for each disc of a multi-disc album, and compilations kept together as one album • Up Next: see, reorder and clear what plays next — Play next and Add to queue never interrupt the song that's playing • Shuffle by songs, by whole albums, or less-played first; keep several queues and switch between them • Link folders from the Files app and play them in place, without copying them into the app • Lossless and Hi-Res badges, and an audio panel that shows each file's format, bit depth and sample rate — and whether it is resampled on the way out • Album covers in full quality — double-tap to zoom • If a file can't be imported, the app tells you which one and why, so you can try again • Plays over Bluetooth headphones, speakers and your car stereo (Bluetooth, AUX or USB); control playback from the lock screen, Control Center and Apple Watch GREAT FOR • Audiophiles with FLAC and hi-res collections • Anyone with an MP3 library built from years of purchases and rips • Travelers and commuters who don't want to burn data • Everyone tired of renting their own music back through subscriptions HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your music: import single files or whole folders, send them over Wi-Fi from your computer, or drop them in through Finder or the Files app. 2. Your library is organized by album, artist and folder automatically. 3. Press play. Everything works offline, forever. Your music files never leave your device. No analytics, no tracking, no account. This player plays your own music files. DRM-protected Apple Music tracks cannot be played. Press play on the music you already own.
