Streamless Music puts the library you built on your Mac in your pocket, synced over your own Wi-Fi, played entirely offline, owned entirely by you. No cloud. No account. No subscription. Your music never touches a server, because there isn't one. HOW IT WORKS Streamless Music is the companion to Streamless for Mac, the app for people who rip their CDs, keep their own files, and sync them to the devices they love. Open the app on your iPhone, and your Mac spots it on your network like any other device. Pick the albums and playlists you want, hit Sync, and the music transfers straight from your Mac. Files, artwork, playlists, everything. WHAT IT DOES • Plays fully offline — airplane mode, subway, middle of nowhere. It's all local files. • Every format your library holds, including FLAC and Apple Lossless. • The classic EQ — Bass Booster, Rock, Small Speakers, Spoken Word, and the rest of the list you remember from your iPod's Settings menu. • Playlists flow both ways. Make one on your iPhone and it lands in your Mac library on the next sync. Edit anywhere; the newest change wins. • Plays and ratings sync back too — listen and rate on the go, and your Mac library keeps the score. • A Home Screen widget with playback controls. • CarPlay — your playlists, albums, and artists on the dash. • An Apple Watch remote with transport, volume, ratings, and a sleep timer. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO No streaming. No recommendations. No ads. No telemetry. No "sign in to continue." Streamless Music plays the music you own, and that's the whole idea. GOOD TO KNOW Streamless Music syncs from Streamless for Mac (macOS 14 or later) — download it at streamless.app with a full-featured 14-day free trial, no card required. One $19 purchase covers everything; this app is free. Your music. Your machine. Your rules.
