Saltpath Music vs Pianoesis

Saltpath Music is a controller for the music library on your own Mac. Install Saltpath Music Host on a Mac, point it at a folder of audio files, and this app becomes a remote for it: browse your library, build a queue, and send playback to the Mac itself, to AirPlay speakers, or to UPnP/DLNA network players — all over your own network. REQUIRES A MAC This app is a controller. It needs a Mac on the same network running Saltpath Music Host, available separately on the Mac App Store. It does not work on its own. YOUR LIBRARY, NOT A CATALOG Saltpath Music plays the FLAC and M4A/ALAC files you already have. There is no streaming catalog, no recommendations from strangers, and nothing to sign in to. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Browse by album, artist, album artist, or genre, with a fast A–Z jump • Search your whole library • Build and reorder a queue; shuffle and repeat • Play to the Mac, to AirPlay receivers, or to UPnP/DLNA network players • Play on this device, with lock-screen and Control Center controls • Download tracks for offline listening away from home • Local Radio — an endless mix built from your own library, not a cloud service • Playlists, playback history, and a sleep timer • Fix album artwork, with the option to embed it into your files NO ACCOUNT, NO CLOUD Saltpath Music has no accounts and no servers. Your library never leaves your network, and this app collects no data about you at all. PRICING Saltpath Music works with the free Saltpath Music Host companion on a Mac, and includes a 14-day free trial of everything. The Controller can complete this iOS purchase without the Host being available. When the two apps subsequently connect over the local network, Apple-signed transaction proof is verified and Core Unlock is synchronized. A verified purchase made in either Saltpath Music or Saltpath Music Host unlocks both apps. No web or external purchase is used. WHAT IT IS NOT Not a streaming service. Not a cloud locker. Not multi-room sync. Not a metadata editor. It plays your files, well, on your own network.

Pianoesis is a fully offline rhythm-piano duet platform with zero learning curve. Import a local MIDI file or a solo piano recording and get a playable score in one tap. No keys to aim at — tap anywhere on screen to play. The tempo is entirely yours, so every performance stays true to the score yet sounds unmistakably like you. Play solo and the app is your duet partner; in Duo Mode, play both hands yourself — or split them with a friend, one hand each. DUO MODE In landscape, the iPad screen splits into two mirrored halves, one hand on each side. Play with both hands yourself for the full two-voice experience, or split the piece with a friend — one hand each. The two sides stay in sync — all you do is keep the beat. ▪ Built for iPad: the split layout, touch targets, and navigation are tailored to two-hand play on the big screen ▪ Duo Sprite Jump: twin sprites leap in sync, with live scoring and sync halos for even more ensemble fun WHY IT ALWAYS SOUNDS GOOD ▪ Every note lands right: the melody is locked to the source score, so any tap hits the correct pitch. ▪ A perfect duet by design: the app plays the other hand in real time — two-hand harmony without the coordination practice. ▪ True to the original: your part and the accompaniment both follow the original score. ▪ Two sound sources: a warm, lifelike MIDI piano, or the original piano recording in lossless quality. Switch anytime. OUR SIGNATURE VISUAL — THE TAIJI SPINNING STAFF On the home screen, treble and bass notes drift out along a slowly spinning taiji staff — a signature animation that brings the idea to life: 88 keys become one, and the app is your duet partner. MORE WAYS TO SEE THE MUSIC ▪ Taiji spinning staff ▪ Horizontal score ▪ Sprite jump ▪ Vertical waterfall FOUR WAYS TO SEPARATE VOICES ▪ Ready-made tracks: pick one hand from a two-track MIDI and start playing. ▪ Smart separation: single-track MIDI or piano audio is split into melody and accompaniment automatically. ▪ Track mapping: carry a proven left/right-hand split from a reference score over to your piece. ▪ Fine editing: hand-assign individual notes for tricky passages. FULLY OFFLINE ▪ Everything runs on-device. No account, no uploads. ▪ No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions ▪ The built-in library is fully licensed for free distribution — per-piece sources and licenses are listed under "Copyright" in the library ▪ Universal: iPhone, iPad, and Mac. SUPPORTED FORMATS ▪ Scores: MIDI (.mid / .midi) ▪ Audio: MP3 / WAV / FLAC / M4A / AAC — solo piano recordings work best SUPPORT & PRIVACY ▪ Website: https://pianoesis.com ▪ Privacy policy: https://pianoesis.com/privacy ▪ Contact: support@pianoesis.com
