Description

“…a powerful music utility that is perfect for getting reacquainted with your favorite tunes.” — John Voorhees, MacStories.net
”…undeniably one of the most powerful and accessible general-purpose players available today.” — Marc Barrowclift, barrowclift.me

Featured in Macworld, MacStories, and Mac & i magazine, Picky is for people particular about their music, giving you full control over how you browse and listen to your albums and songs.

‣ Picky keeps your Artists and Albums lists uncluttered by hiding those with only a few songs – simply adjust the filters to taste.

‣ Queue up tracks to play later: simply swipe to the left on a song until the ‘+’ icon appears and turns solid orange, then let go to queue it.

‣ Use Picklists to quickly play (or queue) groups of songs – like playing an album without its bonus tracks.

‣ Easily sort the main Albums list and artists’ album lists with just a couple taps: by title, release date, duration, or by date added to your library.

‣ Picky lets you easily filter your Songs and Albums lists by genre (or by multiple genres). You can do things like quickly put together a mix by opening the filter, tapping on a few genres, and then closing it and tapping Shuffle.

‣ You can use the Artists and Songs filters to keep singles and one-hit-wonders tucked away, or bring them into focus when you really want to listen to them.

‣ Picky intelligently combines both grouping by artist and by album artist, so you'll always find your songs where you expect them to be. But if you prefer just one of the groupings, you can easily change that with a setting.

‣ Quickly see the list of your currently playing songs by simply swiping up in the Now Playing view.

‣ Quickly search across your entire music library with just a few taps.

‣ Picky is designed for iOS 15 and supports widgets, Dark Mode, Split View, AirPlay 2, iPad trackpads, Context Menus, VoiceOver, headphone remotes, iTunes Match, and Apple Music that has been added to your collection. You can use Picky exclusively or seamlessly switch between it and the system Music app.

Picky: for listeners with refined taste.

What’s New

Version 4.5.1

4.5.1:

‣ Fixed a few bugs with how albums with missing release dates are handled

4.5:

‣ Search your albums by year! Typing a specific year into the search bar won’t just pull up title/artist matches but also any albums with a matching release date

‣ Play, shuffle, or queue an entire set of album or song search results with convenient new buttons

‣ Fixed a bug where the Now Playing bar could stop updating when returning to the app after enough time away

‣ Reissues with bonus tracks now use the original album release date if it differs from the date the bonus tracks are tagged with

‣ Playlist sort options now just apply temporarily instead of across all playlists and app sessions

‣ Fixed a crash that could happen if a playlist was edited outside of the app while its details were open in Picky

The Best Music App I’ve Found!

By far the best thing about Picky is the ease with which it lets you navigate your music if you happen to have an extensive library - something that seems to have become needlessly laborious with the stock music app in recent years. The layout is neat, the interface is user-friendly and the design is simple, to the point and nice to look at; I particularly like how the main play screen incorporates the colours of the currently playing track’s album artwork. The ability to create playlists on the fly is also particularly handy.

The only music player I use any more!

Thanks for the kind words — so glad Picky is solving your music needs!

Been searching for a music player that is dedicated to playing your collection (ITunes library etc). Whilst there’s some decent apps available, Picky is on another level. Really punchy audio, and it somehow sorts out those sound levels on ITunes, and keeps it consistent between artists, albums, files.

Excellent upgrade over the annoying Music app

This is an excellent replacement for the Music app, especially if you have a large library of audio files. I have a lot of radio dramas and the names can be long. In Music, you couldn’t tell them apart if the names were similar because they were truncated to fit. In Picky, there are lists. Lovely, lovey lists. My life is now better.

Thanks! Who doesn’t like a good list? 🤓
