Turbo Music

Offline Player · The music you own, played anywhere, without a connection

Your FLACs, your MP3s, the albums on your NAS and the videos you saved — brought in from wherever they are and played on a plane, in a tunnel or in a place the network never reached. Gapless, with a real equalizer and lyrics that keep time. Podcasts and radio live in the same app.

Bring it in

From wherever it lives

Your music is already somewhere. Turbo Music goes and gets it.

A connection runs between your device and the service you chose. It passes through nothing of ours.

  1. 01

    Wi-Fi transfer, with the whole library

    Open turbo.local on a computer on the same network, enter the PIN, and drag in files and whole folders. Rename, move, copy and delete, download a folder as a zip, play a song in the browser, and build playlists — every change shows on the phone as it happens.

  2. 02

    From your camera roll

    Add a video as a video, or turn it into audio on the way in — copied without re-encoding when the soundtrack allows it.

  3. 03

    From every other app

    Files, Open in, AirDrop, Mail attachments and the share sheet, with the target folder and playlist chosen in the share card. Zip, RAR and 7z albums unpack in place; M3U, PLS and XSPF playlists find their songs.

  4. 04

    Folders that fill themselves

    Link a folder in iCloud Drive or another provider and new music in it arrives on its own.

  5. 05

    Your Apple Music library, too

    Allow access once and the songs already in your Apple Music library — synced from a computer or bought without protection — appear alongside your own files, ready to play, to add to playlists and to keep offline.

  6. 06

    Phone to phone, no server

    Send a playlist and its files to Turbo Music on a nearby iPhone or iPad, straight between the two devices.

02

Library

Files and folders, understood

A music library that respects the folders you made.

Browse by artist and album, or by the folders on disk — both are the same files, and a change in one is a change in the other.

  1. 01

    Songs, albums, artists, genres, composers, decades

    A library built from the tags in your files, sorted the way your language sorts, with articles ignored where your language has them and the tag’s own sort fields respected.

  2. 02

    A real file manager underneath

    Folders you create, rename, copy, move, duplicate and delete — files and folders alike — with a bin that keeps things for thirty days and an undo for the last step. Playlists survive a move or a rename.

  3. 03

    Artists and albums that make sense

    Album artist first, so a “feat.” never splits an album. Compilations become Various Artists, two albums with the same name stay apart, and when you say two artists are one, the decision survives every rescan.

  4. 04

    Fix-up cards

    Untagged songs, albums without covers, duplicate files, files that will not play and a storage breakdown by artist, album, format and source — each one a card with a one-tap route to fixing it.

  5. 05

    Tags and covers, found online

    A tag editor that writes to the file for MP3, M4A, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, Ogg, Opus, APE and Matroska, batch editing, tags from file names, and a lookup against iTunes and MusicBrainz that writes nothing until you choose.

  6. 06

    Edits go to MP3 Converter

    Turbo Music plays and does not edit. Trim, make a ringtone, convert to another format, separate instruments or repair a file, and the song is handed to MP3 Converter and comes back into your library when it is done.

  1. 01

    Gapless, crossfade, and the difference between them

    Live albums play without a gap. Crossfade runs from one to twelve seconds, switches itself off inside an album, and a skip by hand gets a short fade instead.

  2. 02

    A queue that behaves

    Play next, play last, drag to reorder, the same song more than once, a shuffle that is a real permutation — with the original order one tap away — and a queue saved as a playlist.

  3. 03

    A sleep timer for how people actually fall asleep

    Minutes, the end of the song, the album, the playlist or the episode, a slow fade at the end, and a shake to add more time.

  4. 04

    Speed, pitch and balance

    Speed from 0.5× to 3× with the pitch kept, pitch by up to twelve semitones, mono, balance and swapped channels, loudness evened out from ReplayGain or measured on the device.

  5. 05

    Audiobooks and long files

    M4B chapters, skip by 10 or 30 seconds, a speed per file, A–B repeat, silence skipped, and every long file resumes where you left it.

  6. 06

    Video, the same way

    A full-screen player with gestures for seeking, brightness and volume, audio-only mode, Picture in Picture, subtitle and audio-track choice, and aspect and zoom modes.

  7. 07

    Out to the room

    AirPlay 2, and casting to a TV or speaker on your network over DLNA. Headphones out pauses; Bluetooth and CarPlay in carries on.

04

Sound

Applied while it plays

Tune it for the headphones you are wearing.

The equalizer and effects shape what you hear, never the file itself — turn them off and the song is exactly as it was.

  1. 01

    Ten bands, or thirty-one

    A 10-band equalizer with a preamp and 23 presets, a simple bass-and-treble mode, and a 31-band advanced mode. Save your own curves and share them as a code.

  2. 02

    Effects that respect the song

    Bass boost, warmth, a volume boost behind a limiter, night mode, loudness, stereo width, headphone crossfeed, room and hall — and press and hold to hear it flat.

  3. 03

    A profile per output

    Headphones, the car and the speaker at home each keep their own equalizer, and CarPlay picks the car’s by itself.

  4. 04

    A visualizer drawn from the music

    Forty-four looks, eleven of them hand-picked, drawn from the sound that is actually playing — behind Now Playing, or full screen as ambience.

05

Lyrics

In time, word by word

Lyrics that keep time — even for songs nobody transcribed.

When a song has no lyrics anywhere, the phone listens to the vocals and writes them down itself. On the device, and marked as automatic so you know to check.

  1. 01

    Synced lyrics from wherever they are

    The file’s own lyrics, an .lrc beside it, or LRCLIB online — line by line, tap a line to jump to it, and the view follows the song until you scroll.

  2. 02

    Karaoke

    Large type with word-by-word highlighting, countdown dots before the verse, full screen.

  3. 03

    Lyrics made on the device

    When no lyrics exist, the app separates the vocals and listens to them on the phone itself, then times known words to the voice — or writes them down when there are none. Nothing is sent anywhere to do it.

  4. 04

    Yours to correct

    An editor with tap-to-time for the lines that came out wrong, a timing offset, and search inside lyrics across the whole library.

06

Podcasts & radio

No second app

Shows to download, stations to tune in.

  1. 01

    Podcasts from every directory

    Apple, Podcast Index and fyyd searched together, with categories and charts, subscriptions by address, and OPML in and out.

  2. 02

    Episodes, kept offline

    Download one or the last few automatically on Wi-Fi, per-show speed, skipped intros and outros, chapters, show notes and transcripts, a new-episode notification, and listened episodes cleaned up for you.

  3. 03

    Radio, the one live part

    Tens of thousands of stations by country, language and genre, your own stream addresses, favourites and recents. The song on air shows on the Lock Screen, and the station keeps a list of what it played.

07

Playlists & stats

Counted on the device

  1. 01

    Playlists in folders

    Your own order, descriptions, a cover from Photos or a collage made from the songs, and a playlist shared as a zip with its files.

  2. 02

    Smart playlists

    Rules on genre, artist, year, format, bit rate, length, plays, last played, date added, source, folder and favourites, grouped with and/or, limited by songs, hours or gigabytes, and updated as you listen.

  3. 03

    Lists that write themselves

    Favourites, recently played and added, most and never played, half-finished, often skipped, lossless, hi-res, long tracks, one year ago today, what you play at night — and offline mixes refreshed every day.

  4. 04

    Your year, in listening

    Top artists, albums and genres, total time and an hour-by-hour heatmap, all counted on the device — and a yearly recap you can share as a short video.

08

Everywhere

Car, wrist, desk

In the car, on your wrist, on your Mac.

Built with the system rather than around it, so the music follows you to every screen Apple put in your life.

  1. 01

    CarPlay

    Your library, playlists, podcasts and radio on the car’s screen, and a car mode on the phone with big buttons and a screen that stays on.

  2. 02

    Widgets, Live Activities and the Lock Screen

    Now Playing, recently added, a playlist or a station on the Home Screen, live lyrics, StandBy, Control Center controls, and Live Activities for transfers and the sleep timer.

  3. 03

    Siri, Shortcuts and Spotlight

    Play a playlist, open a station, start a sleep timer or add to favourites by voice or from the Action button, and find songs, albums and podcasts from Spotlight.

  4. 04

    Apple Watch

    A remote for the phone, and music synced to the watch for a run without it.

  5. 05

    On the Mac

    Turbo Music for Mac, with your playlists, favourites, subscriptions and play counts kept in step across your devices through iCloud.

  6. 06

    Handoff and scrobbling

    Pick up on another device where you stopped, share a Now Playing card, and scrobble to Last.fm or ListenBrainz if you use them.

  7. 07

    Your way

    Light, dark or OLED black, seven accent families or your own, player styles, alternate icons, reduced Liquid Glass, full Dynamic Type and VoiceOver, and right-to-left languages.

  8. 08

    A lock on the app

    A 4- or 6-digit passcode with Face ID or Touch ID, locked when you leave the app — music keeps playing behind it. Forget the passcode and a recovery code, mailed to an address you choose, lets you back in.

Questions

Before you download

01 Does Turbo Music need an internet connection?

Not to play your music. The library, playlists, lyrics you have saved and downloaded podcast episodes all work offline. Radio is the one part that needs a connection, and the app says so when there is none.

02 Is it a streaming service?

No. There is no catalogue to subscribe to: the library is the music and video you bring in yourself — from your computer over Wi-Fi, your Apple Music library, your cloud drive, your NAS or another app.

03 Which formats does it play?

MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, OGG, Opus, WMA, APE, WavPack and MKA, and video in MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI and WebM, among others — including the ones the system player will not open.

04 Can I play music from my NAS or media server?

Yes. Connect over SMB, WebDAV (Nextcloud included), FTP, SFTP or S3, find DLNA and UPnP servers on your network, or sign in to Jellyfin, Emby or Plex, then browse and download what you want to keep offline.

05 How do I get music from my computer onto my phone?

Open Wi-Fi Transfer in the app and visit turbo.local, or the address it shows, in a browser on the same network. Enter the PIN, then drag in files or whole folders. You can also drop files into the Turbo Music folder in the Files app.

06 Does it have synced lyrics?

Yes — from the file, from an .lrc beside it, or from LRCLIB. When none exist, the app can make them on the device by separating the vocals and recognising the words, without sending the song anywhere.

07 Can it edit or convert my files?

It converts video to audio. Everything else — trimming, ringtones, other formats, removing vocals — is handed to MP3 Converter, and the result comes back into your Turbo Music library.

08 Does it work with CarPlay and Apple Watch?

Yes. CarPlay shows your library, playlists, podcasts and radio, and the Apple Watch app works as a remote or plays music synced to the watch.

09 Are my playlists and play counts backed up?

They sync across your devices through your own iCloud account, and you can export a full backup of the library database, playlists, subscriptions, play counts, equalizer and settings as a single file.

10 Can I lock the app?

Yes. Set a 4- or 6-digit passcode, with Face ID or Touch ID on top, and the app locks when you leave it while the music keeps playing. If you forget the passcode, a recovery code you can have mailed to yourself opens it again.

11 Is there an Android version?

It is on the way. Turbo Music for Android is in development and will be listed here when it reaches Google Play.
