Description
(4,000-char limit)
Timbre is a fast, beautiful music player for your own Subsonic or Navidrome server. Connect to the library you host, and your entire collection comes with you — streamed on Wi‑Fi and cellular, or saved for offline listening wherever you go.
Timbre pairs a distinctive, tactile design — an animated cassette on the Now Playing screen and accent colors drawn from each album's artwork — with the everyday features you actually reach for.
STREAM YOUR LIBRARY • Works with any Subsonic-compatible server, including Navidrome • Browse albums, artists, tracks, and playlists • Save multiple servers and switch between them in a tap • Home screen with Resume, Recently Played, and fresh picks
FIND IT FAST • Search across your whole collection • Filter and sort albums and tracks by genre, release year, and date added • Mark favorites and organize with custom tags
LISTEN OFFLINE • Download individual tracks, albums, or whole playlists • "Download all" for one-tap saving • Set how many tracks download at once to match your connection • Keeps playing when you lose signal
PLAYLISTS & TAGS • Create, rename, and reorder playlists • Drag and drop to reorder your play queue • Share playlists with other users on the same server • Tag songs to group them your way
CONTROL ACROSS DEVICES • Use one device as a remote for another on the same Wi‑Fi • Mirror the queue and browse, enqueue, and reorder from either device • Secure, automatic pairing — no codes to type
BUILT FOR EVERYDAY PLAY • Background playback with lock screen and Control Center controls • Gapless, high-quality audio • Resume right where you left off
Timbre never locks you in. There's no subscription and no catalog to rent — just a clean, thoughtful player for the music you already own and host.
Requires a Subsonic-compatible server (such as Navidrome). Timbre is a client only; you'll sign in with your own server details.

Notes for the Reviewer
Thank you for reviewing Timbre.
WHAT THIS APP IS Timbre is a client for self-hosted, Subsonic-compatible music servers (such as Navidrome). It does not host any music itself — it plays back a library that the user runs on their own server. We have provided demo server credentials above so you can review full functionality.
HOW TO GET STARTED
- Launch the app. On first run you will see the "Add server" / connect screen.
- Enter the Server URL, Username, and Password from the demo credentials above.
- Tap connect. The library (albums, artists, playlists) will load.
WHAT TO TRY
- Browse the Home, Library, Playlists, and Favorites tabs.
- Tap any album or track to start playback; open Now Playing.
- Search the library and apply genre / year / date-added filters.
- Download a track for offline playback (Downloads tab).
- Create a playlist or tag a song.
ABOUT PERMISSIONS / LOCAL NETWORK Timbre includes an optional cross-device control feature: with two devices signed into the same server on the same Wi-Fi network, one device can act as a remote for the other. This is why the app requests Local Network access. The feature is entirely optional — the app is fully functional on a single device without it, and you may decline the Local Network prompt.
PRIVACY / DATA Timbre collects no analytics and has no third-party accounts. The password is used only to authenticate to the user's own server (via Subsonic's standard token-based auth) and is stored securely on-device. There are no in-app purchases or ads in this version.
Please contact us at the email above if you have any trouble connecting to the demo server or need additional information.
