Sparsi is a straightforward music player for the audio files you already own. Import songs directly from the Files app — no syncing, no cloud account, no subscription. Everything plays from your device, offline, exactly as you'd expect from a local player. IMPORT YOUR WAY Bring in audio files from Files, iCloud Drive, or any Files-connected storage provider. Sparsi reads the embedded tags automatically so your library is organized from the moment it lands. EDIT METADATA Fix a wrong title, artist, or album — or add artwork from your photo library — right inside the app. Sparsi keeps the original file tags untouched on disk, so edits are always non-destructive and can be reset back to the source at any time. BUILD PLAYLISTS Group songs into playlists, reorder them, and pick custom cover art. Your playlists live alongside your library, always a tab away. BROWSE AND SEARCH Sort your library by title, artist, album, or date added. Search finds a track in seconds, even in a large collection. PLAYBACK THAT STAYS OUT OF YOUR WAY Lock-screen and Control Center controls, background audio, a persistent mini-player, shuffle, repeat (off/all/one), and position memory so playback picks up exactly where you left off — even after the app was closed. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Sparsi doesn't require an account and doesn't stream anything to a server. Your library stays in your device's storage. Photo library access is used only if you choose artwork for a playlist — nothing is uploaded anywhere. Sparsi is built for anyone who already has an audio collection and just wants a fast, uncluttered way to listen to it.
