Navidrome Player: SubSonify

SubSonify is a native iOS client for self-hosted music servers: Jellyfin, Navidrome, Airsonic, Ampache, gonic, LMS and anything else that speaks the Subsonic API. Your library, offline, in CarPlay, on Apple Watch, and one "Hey Siri" away. No tracking, and the only server the app talks to is yours. Free to stream, with CarPlay. Pro for offline, discovery and your Watch.

WHAT IT DOES

• Full offline library. The app keeps a local copy of your library, so browsing and search are instant and work with no signal. It syncs in the background.
• Home. Continue Listening, suggestions, For You mixes and Start a Radio from any song, built from your listening.
• Downloads (Pro). Keep albums, playlists, songs or the whole library on the device; they keep playing when your server is down.
• Auto-download (Pro). Starred songs, any playlist or smart playlist: new additions download on their own.
• Synced lyrics. On the player, from your server or LRCLIB.
• Smart playlists (Pro). Rules over your library, kept fresh and downloaded on their own.
• Equalizer (Pro). Ten bands, presets and AutoEq headphone profiles.
• Mix transitions (Pro). Beat-aligned blends from one song into the next.
• Chromecast (Pro). Play on your TV or speaker.
• CarPlay. Browse, search and play from the car screen, with artwork, queue, Up Next, shuffle and repeat.
• Apple Watch. A free remote for the phone; Pro makes it standalone, streaming or synced, with the phone at home.
• Siri. "Hey Siri, play [artist] on SubSonify" plays from your server. Artists, albums, songs, playlists, or "play something" to shuffle the library.
• Internet radio. Add your own stations in the app; where the server allows it they are saved there, otherwise they stay on the device. Your server's stations appear too, on the Watch as well.
• Home and away. Two addresses for one server; the app takes the home one when it answers, the other everywhere else.
• Crossfade and quality. Adjustable crossfade, and separate stream quality for Wi-Fi and cellular.
• Five languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Ukrainian.

SERVERS AND LOGIN

Tested against Navidrome, LMS, Ampache, gonic and Jellyfin 10.11 and 12. On Jellyfin, sign in with a password or Quick Connect; the app keeps a session token, so your password is never stored on the device. Subsonic servers with OpenSubsonic API keys get a key instead of a password; the rest use the salted-token login every Subsonic server has supported for years. Credentials live in the iOS Keychain and go to your server and nowhere else.

WHAT IT COLLECTS

Nothing. There is no account to create, and the app ships without an analytics SDK or a crash reporter. Listening history, playlists, downloads and settings stay on your device and your server. It talks to your server, to Apple for purchases and, for internet radio, to the broadcaster, who can see your IP address.

FREE AND PRO

Free means streaming with no daily limit: your whole library, search, playlists, lyrics, Siri, internet radio and CarPlay. Pro adds downloads and offline playback, discovery (For You, Song Radio, Play something), the standalone Apple Watch app, the equalizer, mix transitions, smart playlists and Chromecast.

Pro is available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. The yearly plan starts with a free week. Prices are shown in the app in your local currency.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. Manage your subscription and turn off auto-renew in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
