Faster starts for supported capped-quality MP3 streams, plus fixes for playback interruptions, seeking and cache reliability. Improved Siri integration and reduced unnecessary writes when exporting or importing unchanged Cellophane mixes. True Mode EQ now makes room for boosted bands before processing, reducing unwanted peak-limiter compression while keeping peak protection. Strong boosts may play more quietly; your saved EQ settings are unchanged. The welcome screen makes it easier to import music or connect your Navidrome/Subsonic server. Optional usage sharing is off by default and never includes music titles, files or server credentials.

Meet the Cellophane theme: a flat new look with distinct light and OLED-dark designs, subtle moving color fringes, and optional Blast controls. Reduce Motion turns the animation off. Find and play your music with Siri on iPhone, headphones, and CarPlay. Ask for songs, albums, artists, or playlists, and control shuffle and repeat. Settings → Siri & Shortcuts helps you get started. Library search handles accents and punctuation, ranks closer matches first, and shows more matching results. CarPlay browsing makes large libraries easier to navigate. This update also improves remote playback buffering and error recovery, protects boosted EQ output, and makes playback more reliable after interruptions.

Minor fixes to the purchase and trial flow — the unlock screen now shows the real App Store price, and says what happened if a purchase doesn't go through.

Streaming, properly fixed. • Songs from your server start faster. The app was opening a new connection for every request and competing with itself for bandwidth — it now shares one, and there's a lot more of it to go around. • Fixed: a song could quietly fail to start, or get skipped. • Fixed: a track could stop partway through while it was still playing. • Fixed: a rare freeze while buffering. • Steadier library scans, and more useful bug reports. Nothing new to learn. The same player, doing what it already promised.

Your own music server, now on your phone. • Navidrome and Subsonic support: point Spindle at your server and browse your whole collection — however big it is — without filling up your phone. No Spindle account, no cloud in the middle. • Download albums for offline, and Offline Mode to show only what plays with no connection. • Gapless playback fixed: albums and repeat-one now cross without a gap. • Scrubbing accelerates when you hold it — long tracks are no longer a workout. • Lists return to where you left them instead of jumping to the top. • Duplicates collapse automatically when you own a copy of something you also stream. • CarPlay elapsed time no longer drifts. • Playback settings tidied into one place. Your library, your order.

• Shuffle and repeat now stay within the album or playlist you started from — no more drifting into your whole library. Shuffle plays a full pass of the list, and a new setting (Settings → Playback → “When a list ends”) lets you loop, shuffle your library, or stop. • Fixed shuffle sometimes showing one song while a different one played — including when shuffling a playlist in CarPlay. • Re-importing your music no longer creates duplicates, and any existing duplicates are cleaned up automatically. • New: tap the ladybug on the display to send an anonymous bug report.

Bigger this time. • CarPlay: your whole library, the album wall, and the transport, in the car. • Last.fm scrobbling: keep count, if you want to. • Playlists, in the app: build and edit them, or pin a single song from any row. • Spindle reopens exactly where you left it. • A redesigned album wall: spin the wheel or just scroll. • Light or Dark or follow the system; a quick guided tour on first run. Your library, your order.
