Turn every phone in the room into one speaker. Dodast is an offline music player and video player for the files already on your device, and it syncs playback across phones so everyone hears the same song at the same instant. SYNC MUSIC ACROSS PHONES One phone hosts. Everyone else joins over the same Wi-Fi, or over the host's hotspot when there is no network around. From that moment every device plays as one: no echo, no drift, no lag you can hear. Stack phones into a fuller, louder speaker setup in seconds and fill a kitchen, a backyard, a tent or a car. No Bluetooth speaker needed. A REAL OFFLINE MUSIC PLAYER Dodast is a local music player you would use every day, sync or not. It scans the MP3, FLAC, WAV, M4A and other audio and video files already on your phone, reads tags and album art, then stays out of your way. • Browse by songs, albums, artists and folders • Build playlists and reorder them freely • Fast search across your whole library • Equalizer to shape the sound the way you like • Sleep timer for the end of the night • Background playback and lock screen controls • Works with no internet connection at all THE MUSIC ALREADY ON YOUR IPHONE Dodast plays the music library already on your iPhone: the songs you bought and downloaded, tracks you imported from your Mac or PC, files saved in the Files app, and anything shared to Dodast from another app. Years of collecting, finally playing on every phone in the room at once. No more passing one earbud back and forth. Everyone listens on their own headphones, at the same instant. Music from a streaming subscription stays protected by its provider and cannot be played by any third-party app. WATCH TOGETHER, HEAR IT ON EVERY PHONE Put a video on one screen and let the whole room hear it in sync on their own headphones. One device carries the picture, every other phone carries the sound. Made for the moments a speaker would ruin: a show after the house is asleep, a film on a long flight, a room where everyone wants their own volume. EVERYONE KEEPS CONTROL Each guest sets their own volume from their own phone. If one device runs a hair ahead or behind, a simple slider brings it back in line. Nobody has to shout across the room. SHARE THE MUSIC, NOT YOUR FILES Nothing is uploaded and nothing is copied. Your library stays on your phone and the devices talk straight to each other on the local network. No account, no sign-up, no cloud. WHAT YOU NEED • Dodast installed on each iPhone or iPad • A shared Wi-Fi network, or one device acting as a hotspot • Your own music and video files Great for road trips, house parties, picnics, dorm rooms, hotel rooms, camping, study sessions and late night movie nights. Any moment worth hearing together. Line up the phones. Press play together. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
