Faders: Live Radio & Song ID
FM, Internet Radio & Moods
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Radio that doesn't suck, now with your own Jellyfin music, a World Map and Car Mode. Faders Plus launch price €4.99, going up to €9.99 on 1 December.
Faders is the radio app that doesn't get in the way. Tens of thousands of stations from every country, with the song, the artist and the artwork for what's playing right now, a beautiful player and nothing to sign up for.
EVERY SONG, NAMED
Faders reads what the station sends and, when a station doesn't say, identifies the song automatically. You see the title, artist and album art as each song starts, and every song you hear is saved to your history so you can open it in Apple Music later.
AD-FREE MOODS
Focus, Chill, Sleep, Jazz Café, Energy and Retro: hand-picked, listener-supported stations that keep the vibe going. Add rain, a crackling fire, vinyl or waves underneath, set a focus timer, or turn on Calm mode for a quiet bedside clock.
FIND ANY STATION
Search by name or frequency, browse genres in the languages you speak, or go around the world country by country. Spin the globe on the World Map, or search a country's stations by what's popular. Your favourites show what's on now, and "Jump back in" remembers where you were.
YOUR OWN MUSIC
Connect your Jellyfin server (or Plex) and your library plays like radio: Shuffle All, or stations by genre, decade or time of day. Browse artists, albums and playlists in the Music tab, with lyrics when your server has them, and in CarPlay too.
MADE FOR EVERY SCREEN
• iPhone Duo: open it like a book with the player on one page and your stations on the other, or stand it up with the artwork on top and the controls on the base.
• iPad: the player sits beside your stations.
• CarPlay, Apple Watch, widgets, Control Center and the Lock Screen.
• Car Mode: big buttons for cars without CarPlay.
• Siri and Shortcuts: "Play SPIN 1038 on Faders", "Play Focus on Faders".
• Sleep timer that fades out gently, AirPlay, and favourites that sync through iCloud.
FADERS PLUS
Listening is free, forever. A single one-time purchase adds:
• Rewind live radio up to 30 minutes, restart the song you just caught the end of, or pause without missing anything
• Wake to Radio alarms that ring through silent mode and start your station
• Sounds, Focus timer and Calm mode in Moods
• Genre, decade and time-of-day stations from your own music
• One-tap saving to an Apple Music playlist
• Listening Insights
Plus is shared with your family, and everything added to it later is included.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no tracking, no analytics. Your stations and history stay on your device and in your own iCloud. If you connect your own music server, Faders talks only to your server.
Faders plays streams published by the stations themselves; station names and logos belong to their owners.
