Free to start. Servers, Apple Music and the advanced audio tools come with Sonevia Pro.
Your music, your way
Every place your music lives, in one library.
Sonevia doesn't ask you to move anything. It plays your music where it already is, and keeps track of which copy you're hearing.
- Your folders, read in placeAdd folders from Files, iCloud Drive or another provider, or copy music into Sonevia's own folder. Nothing is duplicated, and removing a folder never deletes a file.
- Your own serverNavidrome and other OpenSubsonic servers, Jellyfin and Plex Media Server: browse, stream and download, with favourites, ratings and playlists kept in step both ways.
- Apple Music beside itWith your own subscription, Apple Music songs share the queue, and the copy in your library always plays instead when you have one.
- One searchYour library and Apple Music in their own tabs, with the closest matches when a title is half remembered.
Audio Lab and equalizer
An equalizer that shows its work.
Shape the sound for your headphones, then see exactly what happens between the file and your ears.
- A ten-band EQ you can drawDrag the curve while the song plays and hear it change without a click, smoothly under your finger. 26 presets and a preamp.
- Parametric, up to 64 filtersPeaking, shelves, band-pass, notch, and high and low cuts from 12 to 48 dB, with frequency, gain and Q for each.
- Find Your HeadphonesThousands of headphone corrections from the AutoEq project, searched on your device and turned into a profile.
- A profile for every outputAirPods, wired headphones, the speaker and a USB DAC each remember their own EQ.
- The Audio LabThe song's whole path: source, decoder, resampling, gain and EQ, then the output, with loudness, true peak and dynamic range. It never claims "bit-perfect".
Formats
Lossless, hi-res, and everything else.

- FLAC
- ALAC
- WAV
- AIFF
- DSD
- MP3
- AAC
- Opus
- Vorbis
- WMA
The listening experience
Feels like it belongs on your iPhone.
Native through and through: the controls are where you expect them, and the music keeps going when the queue ends.
- Now Playing, immersiveThe artwork fills the screen, or loops as animated artwork made from a video.
- Lyrics that follow alongSynced lines from the file, your server or LRCLIB. Lines away from the one being sung blur, and tapping a line jumps there.
- A queue you controlPlay Next, Add to Queue, drag to reorder. The queue is still there after a relaunch, and a long song resumes where you left it.
- Autoplay without guessworkWhen the queue runs out, Sonevia keeps going from your tags, likes, ratings, skips and what you play together. No AI: your own listening, worked out on your device.
- Effects and AutoMixReverb, echo, crossfeed and more in a chain you build, even for one song. AutoMix starts a crossfade on a beat both songs share.
- Everywhere the system reachesThe Lock Screen, Control Center, AirPlay 2 to one room or several, a sleep timer that fades out, and Bluetooth controls.

Privacy
Your library stays yours.

Sonevia talks only to the services you choose, and the developer never receives your music or your library.
Hear your music the way you keep it.
Free to start, with a seven-day trial of everything in Pro.
