Your offline music library
New in 1.2: full-screen lyrics that light up word by word, in four looks painted from your album art. And TuneJar is now a Mac app too.
Keep the music you own close at hand. TuneJar is an offline music player for iPhone, iPad and Mac, built around your local files — with legal ways to find more and live radio when you want it.
BRING YOUR COLLECTION
Import audio files, whole folders or ZIP archives from Files. Transfer albums from a computer with the built-in Wi-Fi upload page, or copy them through Finder or Apple Devices and scan the USB inbox. Duplicates are recognised by content, so importing again never fills your library with copies.
IMPORT YOUR PLAYLISTS
Open M3U, M3U8, PLS, XSPF or CSV playlists from Files, the share sheet or the Wi-Fi page, or paste a plain "Title - Artist" list. Each entry is matched to the songs you already have — by filename, then by title, artist, album and duration. Missing songs fill in automatically after a later import or download. Export any playlist as M3U8.
FIND MUSIC FROM LEGAL SOURCES
Search the Internet Archive for Creative Commons and public domain recordings; the licence is shown on every result and stored with the song. Or connect your own Navidrome, Airsonic or other Subsonic-compatible music server and download your originals. Downloads run in the background and pass the same integrity and duplicate checks as every import.
LYRICS MODE
Open full-screen lyrics that follow the song: word-timed LRC and TTML files light up word by word, other synced lyrics glide line by line. Four looks — Spotlight, Ink, Tide and Poster — with a background painted from the album art, chosen on your device from the artwork and the lyrics. Lyrics come only from your own files.
ON THE MAC
Drag songs, folders or ZIP archives from Finder onto the window, use the menu bar and keyboard shortcuts, media keys and full screen. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac.
INTERNET RADIO
Browse the Radio Browser directory by country, language and genre, see what is popular near you, search by name or genre, keep favourites and recents, or add a stream address of your own. When the signal drops, TuneJar shows Buffering or Reconnecting and brings the station back by itself. Songs the stations announce are kept in a Heard list, one tap away from a search for an openly licensed copy.
WIDGETS, SIRI AND SHARING
Widgets show what is playing and start a favourite station. Siri and Shortcuts play a station or playlist, shuffle or set a sleep timer. Share cards never include your song list.
A LIBRARY THAT FEELS AT HOME
Browse album covers and pages, search, mark favorites and arrange playlists. Queue songs to play next and keep going from a floating mini player; on iPad and Mac, a sidebar and a Now Playing column give your library more room.
LISTEN OFFLINE
Play local FLAC, MP3, M4A, WAV and other system-decodable audio with queue, shuffle, repeat, seeking and a sleep timer. The player takes its colour from the album art and shows lyrics, the queue and audio details in one place.
KEEP YOUR ORIGINALS
Imported and downloaded songs are stored as independent local copies. Export a ZIP library backup with audio, library metadata, radio stations and unfinished downloads. Your computer originals are not modified by import or by deleting a song in TuneJar.
No account, advertising or tracking SDKs. English and Simplified Chinese, with mint and dark appearances.
TuneJar does not include a music catalog and does not download from streaming services or unlicensed sites. The Internet Archive source is limited to Creative Commons and public domain items; the server source only reaches a server you configure with your own credentials. Import and download files you have the right to use. DRM-protected subscription downloads are not supported. Radio station availability and stream formats depend on the stations.
Wi-Fi transfer (iPhone and iPad) needs a trusted local network and keeps the app in the foreground; sessions expire after 30 minutes and use local HTTP without encryption. Always keep an external backup of important music.
