Waveform
For Local Audio
Only for iPhone
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Overview:
• Waveform is a precision-built audio and video player designed for files stored directly on your device. It puts full control of your library in your hands, allowing you to import files, organise your collection, and listen entirely offline without relying on external services. The experience is focused on speed, reliability, and simplicity in giving you a clean, responsive player that works exactly when you need it.
Features:
• Waveform is built for performance and control at every level. It delivers zero-latency playback for local library files and allows you to import directly from your device with ease. Your library can be organised by track, artist, or album, with instant search and flexible sorting to quickly find what you need. Advanced tools like multi-select make managing large collections efficient, while built-in editing lets you update artwork and metadata directly within the app.
• Playback is designed to be seamless and always accessible. A persistent mini player keeps controls within reach, while the full Now Playing interface provides deeper control over your listening experience. The Up Next queue allows you to prioritise tracks with Play Next functionality, and a built-in sleep timer with real-time countdown makes it ideal for winding down. Waveform also supports CarPlay, ensuring a smooth and safe experience while driving.
Use Cases:
• Waveform is ideal for users who maintain a personal offline library collection. It’s well suited for focused sessions where uninterrupted playback matters, long drives where reliability is key, and sleep routines that benefit from timed playback. Overall, it’s designed for listeners who value speed, clarity, and full control over their library experience.
