PlayFrame: Now Playing Display
For KEF & Sonos Speakers
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn your iPhone or iPad into a dedicated Now Playing display for your KEF or Sonos speakers.
PlayFrame is a simple music display app designed to show what’s playing on your supported speakers. It is not a music player, and it is not a complex speaker controller. PlayFrame focuses on one thing: displaying the current song, artist, and album artwork in a clean, beautiful, and easy-to-read Now Playing view.
Place an iPhone or iPad in your living room, music room, kitchen, bedroom, or workspace, and PlayFrame turns it into a dedicated speaker display for your home audio setup. You can keep PlayFrame running on one device as a display, while controlling playback from another iPhone, iPad, or your usual speaker app.
PlayFrame automatically discovers and connects to supported KEF or Sonos speakers on your local network, then shows the currently playing track information in real time. Because the information comes directly from your speaker, you do not need to sign in to Apple Music, Spotify, KEF, Sonos, or other accounts within PlayFrame.
It is an easy way for everyone at home to see what music is playing — even if they did not start playback themselves. With a layout designed to be readable from across the room, family members, guests, and children can quickly check the song title, artist name, and artwork at a glance.

A Now Playing Display for Your Room:
Speaker apps are usually made for browsing music, changing settings, and controlling playback. PlayFrame is different. It is made for the moment after the music starts — when you simply want to see what is playing.
With a focused Now Playing view that is easy to read even from a distance, PlayFrame lets album artwork, song titles, and artist names become part of your living space.
PlayFrame Pro:
Upgrade to PlayFrame Pro to customize the Now Playing screen and make it your own.
With PlayFrame Pro, you can adjust the layout and appearance of the display to better match your room, device, and speaker setup.
Great for Older Devices:
PlayFrame supports iOS 16 and later, making it a great way to reuse an older iPhone or iPad as a dedicated Now Playing display for your KEF or Sonos speaker.
Supported Speakers:
PlayFrame currently supports KEF and Sonos speakers. Support for more speakers may be added in the future.
Notes:
PlayFrame is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by KEF or Sonos.
Supported features may vary depending on your speaker model, firmware, network environment, and playback source.
PlayFrame is still in active development. If you find an issue or have a feature request, please feel free to contact support. Your feedback helps improve the app.
