Jukebox

Read full description

Jukebox is a clean, no-nonsense player for the music you actually own. Point it at a folder on your iPhone, or at your own WebDAV / NAS or Jellyfin server, and Jukebox builds a fast local index of your artists, albums, and songs. No streaming subscription, no account, no ads โ€” just your library, ready to play. WHY JUKEBOX โ€ข Play YOUR files. MP3, M4A/AAC, FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF and more โ€” straight from your own storage. โ€ข Bring your own server. Add a WebDAV source (Nextcloud, a NAS, a home server) or connect a Jellyfin server, and stream your whole collection, sorted automatically by artist and album. โ€ข Local files too. Add any folder from the Files app โ€” On My iPhone, iCloud Drive, an external or SMB share โ€” and it just works. โ€ข Find anything fast. Filter by artist, album, or genre and search your whole library as you type. โ€ข Shuffle your way. Shuffle everything, a single artist, or one album. โ€ข A player you'll enjoy. Full-screen now-playing artwork in portrait, a Winamp-style landscape view, a real-time spectrum and a 5-band equalizer. โ€ข Apple Watch. See what's playing and control it from your wrist โ€” play/pause, skip and scrub. โ€ข Beautiful cover art. Embedded artwork is used first; missing art is looked up online and cached โ€” in the list, the player, and on your lock screen. โ€ข Real controls. Lock-screen, Control Center and AirPlay playback with background audio so the music keeps going. โ€ข iPhone & iPad. A native layout for both. NOW IN 7 LANGUAGES Jukebox speaks English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese โ€” switch the language any time in Settings. PRIVACY FIRST Jukebox doesn't collect any data about you. No account, no analytics. Your library stays on your device and your own server. The only network requests are to your WebDAV server (if you add one) and, optionally, to look up missing album art. FREE TO TRY Free playback runs for 1 hour a day โ€” enough to genuinely enjoy it. A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited playback forever. No subscription. Jukebox is for people who keep their own music and want a simple, private player to enjoy it.
