Description
Music for your own collection — finally on iPhone.
HarmonIQ plays the MP3s, FLACs, and ALAC rips you already own — straight off your drive. Built for the people who never threw out their music folders: the CD ripper with three external drives, the Napster-era curator with a meticulous "Best Of 2003" directory, the audio-archivist who treats a hard drive like a library.
Drive-portable by design. Plug a USB-C SSD into your iPhone, point HarmonIQ at the folder, and your collection appears. The on-drive index lives next to the music — move the drive, the library moves with it. No account. No subscription. No re-indexing on a new device.
100% offline. No network at index time, playback time, or AI curation time. Plug in on the plane, in the subway, in the woods. It plays.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Real 10-band equalizer. AVAudioEngine + AVAudioUnitEQ — the sliders move the actual signal. Presets (Flat, Rock, Pop, Jazz, Classical, Bass Boost, Vocal Boost) plus persisted custom curves.
17 Smart Play modes. Pure Random, Artist Roulette, Genre Journey, Album Walk, Decade Shuffle, Mood Arc, Deep Cut, Era Walk, Genre Tunnel, plus AI-curated Vibe Match, Storyteller, and Sonic Contrast.
On-device AI by default. AI Smart Play prefers Apple Intelligence's foundation model on iOS 26 + iPhone 15 Pro and newer. Optionally bring your own Anthropic API key for cloud fallback. Your library never leaves your phone.
Browse by language, artist, album, decade, or folder. New in v1.1: a Language hub partitions your collection into Chinese, English, and Other.
Real artist headshots. Opt-in fetcher pulls photos from MusicBrainz, Wikidata, TheAudioDB, and Wikipedia. Tiles always show a real headshot or a placeholder — never an album cover standing in.
Classic skin support. Drop in classic .wsz skin files; 9 bundled. Skinned main window, equalizer, and playlist all render from the original sprites.
16 visualizer styles. Spectrum, oscilloscope, plasma, mirror, radial pulse, particles, fire, starfield, plus 8 fancy oscilloscope variants. Tap to cycle.
Background playback with full lock-screen, Control Center, Live Activity, and Dynamic Island controls.
Sleep timer. Auto-stop after 15/30/45/60 minutes or at the end of the current track, with a live LCD countdown.
WHY IT EXISTS
Streaming services can pull a license tomorrow. Recommendation engines optimize for engagement, not for you. HarmonIQ is a different deal: you own your files, you own your playlist algorithm, you own your taste. No analytics, no tracking, no recommendation graph shipped off for ad targeting.
Your collection deserves a real player.
