01
The files stay yours
Drop in what you already own. MusicFlex reads the folder you give it — it doesn't relicense, re-encode, or hide your library behind a catalogue that can revoke a track overnight.
MusicFlex
Your music, On your device.
Music Flex is a universal music player for iOS (and soon to be Mac and visionOS).
Your library lives in filess that you organize to your taste. Transferring on to device is made effortless through WiFi-Connect.

02
Nothing to sign into
No account, no cloud, no telemetry. The music lives in the app's own folder on the device, and it plays with the network switched off entirely.
03
Folders are the model
Artists, Albums and Songs are all there — but the folder tree you built over twenty years is a first-class citizen, not something to be flattened into somebody's idea of a library.
Wi-Fi Transfer
Your phone is the server.
Any browser is the remote.
Open Wi-Fi Transfer, and the app puts a small web server on your local network. Type the address into any browser on the same Wi-Fi — macOS, Windows, Linux, it doesn't matter — enter the pairing code, and your whole library is right there in the page.

01
Open the screen
The server only exists while that screen is open. Close it and the door is shut — that's the access control, and it's why there's no account to breach.

02
Type the address
A bare
http://192.168.x.x:8484and a six-digit pairing code. No app to install on the computer, no cable, no iTunes. -
03
Work the library
Drag whole folder trees in. Move, rename, download a folder as a zip, delete. Click a track and it plays in the browser, album art and all.
Cross-platform by being boring
It's plain HTTP over your own LAN. That's the whole trick — nothing to install on the other end, nothing routed through a company, and no reason for a Windows machine to be a second-class citizen. Uploads stream straight to disk, downloads come back with Range requests so scrubbing works, and the transfer log tells you exactly what landed.
- Upload single files or entire folder trees by drag-and-drop
- Create, rename, move and delete folders from the browser
- Download a track, or a whole folder as a zip
- Play anything from the phone, through the computer's speakers
Files
Play a folder.
Or everything under it.
Every folder is playable on its own terms. Hit Play or Shuffle at any level of the tree, and the Include Subfolders switch decides whether that means the twelve tracks in front of you or the four hundred beneath them.
Untagged files aren't second-class either — a file with no metadata still shows up, still plays, and still lands in Recently Added. If you want to fix a title or an artist, you can edit it in the app without touching the file on disk.
- Browse the real folder tree, exactly as you arranged it
- Per-folder Play and Shuffle, with an app-wide subfolder toggle
- Playlists, Artists, Albums and Songs built from the same files
- Also reachable over USB — Finder on Mac, Apple Devices on Windows
The player
Built like a piece of hardware
Shuffle & repeat
Reversible shuffle that remembers the original order, and repeat off / all / one that survives a queue change.
Now Playing
Full-screen cover art on a gradient pulled from the artwork itself — floored and lifted so a dark sleeve never turns the screen into a void.
Mini player
A floating bar that follows you through the library and swipes away into the full screen when you want it.
Landscape & iPad
A real landscape layout rather than a stretched phone screen, on both iPhone and iPad.
Dark by decision
One canvas, one accent, sampled from the icon. No theme switcher, because the thing was designed for exactly one look.
Offline, always
Aeroplane mode, a tunnel, a dead SIM, a cancelled subscription — none of it touches a library that already lives on the device.
