Offline music player for iPhone & iPad
MusicKeep is a private offline music player for iPhone and iPad. Import the audio files you already own from the Files app, organize them into playlists and folders, and listen without an account, ads, tracking, or an internet connection.
For iPhone and iPad · iOS 17 or later · Free, with an optional MusicKeep Plus upgrade
No account. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. Your audio files, playlists, and listening history are stored on your iPhone or iPad, and MusicKeep uses the network only for features you start yourself.
MusicKeep is a local music player, not a streaming service, and it has no music catalog. It plays and organizes audio you bring yourself: MP3 collections, purchases from stores that offer downloads, CD rips, independent releases, DJ mixes, demos, personal recordings, lectures, language lessons, and audiobooks you own. Once a file is in your library, it plays offline with no internet connection needed.
Bring your own audio. MusicKeep takes care of importing, organizing, and playing it, on your device and offline.
Add MP3, M4A, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, and CAF files from the Files app, including iCloud Drive, On My iPhone, and other Files providers, or save a direct HTTPS link to a file you are authorized to download. With Plus, send whole folders from a Mac or PC over Wi-Fi Drop, transfer from a nearby Apple device with Nearby Send, or import straight from your Dropbox.
Playlists, folders, favorites, star ratings, and listening history. Browse songs, albums, artists, genres, and folders, and search titles, artists, albums, genres, and filenames in an instant. Plus adds rule-based smart playlists that keep themselves up to date.
Fix titles, artists, albums, genres, and album artwork right on your iPhone or iPad. Import and export standard M3U playlists to move them between apps. Plus adds batch editing for many tracks at once.
Background audio with Lock Screen, Control Center, headphone, and AirPlay controls, plus queue editing, shuffle, repeat, equalizer presets, and a sleep timer. Songs play back to back without gaps. Plus unlocks a custom 10-band equalizer with saved presets, preamp, and sound leveling, crossfade between songs, and playback speed with pitch lock.
Embedded lyrics appear automatically. Attach an LRC or plain-text file and synchronized lyrics scroll with the song, with bookmarks that jump straight back to a line. Lyrics stay on your device; MusicKeep does not fetch them from the internet.
Export a library backup of your playlists, folders, metadata edits, and settings, then restore it on a new iPhone or iPad. Siri and Shortcuts phrases, Home Screen widgets, Spotlight search, and an iPad sidebar with keyboard shortcuts come along.
Importing from the Files app, organizing, and listening are free with no time limit. MusicKeep Plus unlocks advanced audio and library tools, and every Plus feature can be tried free for 14 days on your device with no payment and no sign-up.
Everything you need, forever
Monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime unlock
Prices vary by App Store region and are shown in the App Store at purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in your Apple Account settings; the lifetime unlock is a single purchase. Details are in the MusicKeep Plus terms.
MusicKeep has no account system and no servers that store your library. Privacy isn't a setting; it is how the app is built.
Audio, playlists, lyrics, ratings, and listening history are stored locally on your iPhone or iPad. MusicKeep never receives a copy of your library.
Open the app and start listening. No sign-up, no email, no password.
No advertising, no analytics or crash-reporting SDKs, and no advertising identifiers.
Wi-Fi Drop, Nearby Send, Dropbox, Direct Download, the optional artwork lookup, and App Store purchases connect only when you start them, and only with what you choose.
Wi-Fi Drop and Nearby Send move files directly between your devices on the local network, not through any MusicKeep server. Dropbox sign-in and downloads go directly between your device and Dropbox, and a website you download from sees your IP address, as it would from any browser. Read the full MusicKeep Privacy Policy.
Short answers to the questions people ask before trying an offline music player. More are in MusicKeep support and FAQ.

MP3, M4A, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, AIF, AIFF, and CAF. The same list applies however you add music: the Files app, Wi-Fi Drop, Nearby Send, Dropbox, or a direct download. DRM-protected files cannot be imported or played. See supported audio formats in detail.

Every Plus feature can be tried free for 14 days on your device.

MusicKeep is my project: no team, no investors, just me, Stefan Dasic, an independent developer. I wanted a music player that respects the files you already own and the privacy you deserve, so I built one.
One request: only import, download, or transfer audio and artwork that you own or are authorized to use. MusicKeep doesn't provide, index, or search for music, and it doesn't bypass DRM; it simply keeps yours.
