SottoPlayer

Sotto is a calm, private home for everything you listen to — audiobooks, podcasts, and your own music — built around one idea: what you play is nobody's business but yours.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Hide album art and titles everywhere — lock screen, Control Center, even over AirPlay. You decide what your phone broadcasts. • No account to make and no profile to build — Sotto works fully offline. • Everything lives on your device. No ads, no analytics, no tracking.

MAKE IT YOURS • Replace any cover with your own photo, a rotating pool of images, an animated visualizer, or a hand-picked icon or emoji — per category or per title. • Choose an accent color, a visualizer style, and its palette.

BUILT FOR LONG-FORM LISTENING • Smart resume rewinds a few seconds when you press play, so you never lose the thread. • Chapters, variable speed, and skip intervals you set yourself. • A sleep timer that fades out gently instead of cutting off mid-sentence. • A full equalizer with presets, plus dedicated bass and vocal boost. • Optional audio-environment reverb for a roomier sound.

SMART BOOKMARKS • Drop a bookmark and Sotto can transcribe the last several seconds — entirely on-device — so each mark remembers what was actually being said. • Auto-bookmark when you pause. Export a clean PDF of everything you saved.

YOUR PODCASTS, YOUR WAY • Search and subscribe, or paste any RSS feed URL. • Background refresh keeps new episodes ready without opening the app.

BRING YOUR OWN LIBRARY • Import your own audio files. • Connect a self-hosted Audiobookshelf server — your downloads stay on-device and play through Sotto's full pipeline: EQ, speed, and smart bookmarks.

IN SYNC, STILL PRIVATE • Optional iCloud sync keeps your bookmarks and progress across your devices through your own iCloud account — never our servers.

KNOW YOUR HABITS • Listening stats show where your time actually goes.

Sotto. Listen quietly.
