TunesCloud vs Screening Room

TunesCloud plays the music you already own in Google Drive, with a native Apple music-player feel. Connect your Google account, pick the folders that hold your library, and browse albums, artists, and tracks on your terms, not inside someone else's streaming catalog. Stream over the network, download songs and albums for offline listening, and keep going with background audio, lock-screen controls, and a queue built for real listening. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Connect Google Drive and index your own audio folders • Browse by albums, artists, and tracks with artwork from your files • Stream with seeking, a queue, and Now Playing • Download songs or albums for offline play • Rediscover your collection on Home: recently played, newly added, highly rated, and more • Use star ratings to surface the music you care about • Play on iPhone, iPad, and Mac WHO IT'S FOR If your collection lives as MP3, M4A, or AAC files in the cloud, and not as a Spotify or Apple Music subscription, TunesCloud is the player for that library. PRIVACY-MINDED BY DESIGN TunesCloud reads only the Drive folders you choose. Your music stays yours. Note: A Google Drive account is required for cloud library features. An internet connection is required for streaming and syncing.

Screening Room is a privacy-first media protection and playback app built around one simple idea: your files should not have to move. Traditional vault apps often require you to import photos and videos into a separate private library. Screening Room works differently. It encrypts content in its original storage location, so your media can remain in On My iPhone or iPad, iCloud Drive, a NAS, OneDrive, or another compatible location available through the Files app. No duplicate media library. No upload to a developer-operated server. Encryption, decryption, viewing, and playback happen on your device. [MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD] • One app for iPhone and iPad • An iPad sidebar and adaptive grid, with portrait, landscape, and resizable-window support • PDF pages adapt to the window width while keeping your reading position [ENCRYPT IN PLACE] • AES-256 encryption for photos, videos, and other files • No app import and no extra media copy stored inside the app • Works with On My iPhone or iPad, iCloud Drive, and compatible third-party storage locations • Encrypted items no longer expose the original thumbnail, reducing accidental disclosure through previews and recent items [DECRYPT WHILE PLAYING] • Open encrypted videos directly; content is decrypted in memory as it plays, without writing a decrypted media copy to storage • Playback speed controls, gesture seeking, and rotation lock • Zoom and swipe browsing for encrypted photos [PLAY STRAIGHT FROM THE CLOUD] • Connect a OneDrive account and add cloud folders to your library; browse and play them just like local folders • Cloud videos start playing right away without a full download; encrypted files fetch only the ranges they need • Keep offline copies of cloud folders or single files for playback without a connection • Encrypt cloud files in place: encryption always happens on your device, and the cloud only ever holds ciphertext [ACCESS UNDER YOUR CONTROL] • Unlock with Face ID, Touch ID, or a password • Private Mode helps reduce exposure of protected content when you hand your device to someone else • A Recovery Code and optional iCloud backup can help restore access if you forget your password • Choose in Private Mode which folders appear in standard mode; sign-in state and account details are visible only in Private Mode [STRAIGHTFORWARD PRICING] • Free: all core features, up to 3 protected files and one cloud account • Pro: a one-time in-app purchase removes the file and account limits • No subscription • Decryption, export, and playback always remain free, so your files are never locked behind a purchase [PRIVACY BY ARCHITECTURE] No developer account, no usage analytics, no tracking, and no developer-operated server used to store your files. When you connect a cloud drive, the sign-in token stays on your device and files move only between your device and your own cloud storage. Your media stays in the storage location you choose, and protection happens locally on your device. Your files stay where they are. Only you get in.
