Null Player

Features
Read full description

Null plays the audio files you already have, MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV, AIFF, FLAC, whatever you've got, without an account or an internet connection. Import files from the Files app and Null reads the title, artist, artwork, and length straight off the file itself. Build playlists, reorder them, give them a cover photo, hit play or shuffle. The full-screen player has a soft moving backdrop pulled from the album art. Lock screen and Control Center work the normal way. skip, pause, resume, without opening the app. There's no account system, no analytics, no ad network. Nothing about how you use Null goes anywhere but your own phone.
