EyePlayer · the rotary-touch-wheel music player for Android, Windows and Linux support@eyeplayer.org
EyePlayer Get EyePlayer
Out now on Windows and Linux · Android beta soon

Your music, the way it used to feel.

A phone player with a real rotary touch wheel. A desktop player that runs your whole collection. One library between them: play it, stream it off your NAS, or plug in a cable and sync it. Gapless, ReplayGain, a proper EQ and bit-perfect output on both.

    More than a retro shell

    The tactile control wheel, with haptics and an optional piezo tick.

    The wheel

    Spin to scroll, click to choose. Haptic detents, an optional piezo tick. Designed for fast, one-handed navigation without swiping through endless feeds.

    Your library, anywhere

    SMB shares, WebDAV, public Google Drive folders, HTTP servers, local folders, USB sync. Point it at the music you already own and press play. A smart cache keeps it working offline.

    Sound you can check

    Source-rate following, sample-domain ReplayGain, and a bit-perfect mode that shows the exact format leaving your device. No mystery resampling.

    Make it yours

    Out of the box you get the black anodised player you have seen so far, and that never changes on its own. But Settings › Appearance is yours to raid: ten ways to draw the wheel and fifty colours to spread across eleven parts of the app. A style only paints. The buttons, the detents and the screen reader labels stay exactly where they were, so nothing you pick can change what the player does.

    Ten wheel styles

    The Classic wheel: brushed dark plastic with notched detents.

    Fifty colours, eleven parts of the app

    Four presets to start from, then change any part you like. Whatever you leave on Default is worked out from what you did pick, so a scheme stays a scheme rather than eleven unrelated decisions. And because a pale background flips the text dark by itself, you cannot accidentally make the player unreadable.

    Turn it sideways

    Landscape is not a squashed portrait. On a wide screen the list and the wheel sit side by side, at full size, with your thumb already where the wheel is. That is the arrangement you want on a desk, a stand, or a tray table. Wide tablets get the same layout the moment there is room for it, whichever way up they are.

    EyePlayer in landscape: the album list fills the left of the screen with the control wheel at full size on the right.

    Two apps, one library

    A real desktop player, not a companion

    EyePlayer for PC stands on its own: a fast album grid, playlists, tag editing, and the same gapless, ReplayGain-corrected playback at your desk. It adds a five-band equaliser and a bit-perfect mode that tells you the exact format leaving the machine. Windows and Linux.

    Then plug in your phone. Your library syncs over USB, straight from your disk to your pocket. Nothing touches a cloud on the way. One account runs both.

    In the car

    In the beta · tested in a real car

    Android Auto, from the first build

    Android Auto support is built into the app: plug the phone in and EyePlayer appears in the car's app list, with your songs, albums and playlists in rows big enough to hit at seventy.

    Concept art of EyePlayer on a dashboard: a screen listing albums and playlists, with a now-playing bar and a wireless audio badge.
    • Menus, not the wheel. A rotary wheel cannot be drawn on a dashboard, and should not be reached for at speed. The car gets lists, plus voice search.
    • Your phone stays the player. Same library, same gapless engine, same ReplayGain. The dashboard is a remote control, not a second player.
    • Sound goes over Bluetooth audio, the connection your car already uses. Nothing new to pair, nothing new to buy.
    • Browse what is already on the phone, offline copy included, so a tunnel or a dead signal changes nothing.

    Tested in a real car, not just on a bench. One thing to know during the beta: because the app is sideloaded rather than installed from the Play Store, Android Auto will not list it until you switch on its developer mode and allow unknown sources. That step disappears once EyePlayer is on the Play Store. The image is a design mock-up, not a photograph of a head unit.

    The Android beta

    Good defaults, no catches

    Clear about your data

    Your music files stay where they live. They are never uploaded. No analytics, no play tracking, no ad networks. Our privacy policy is short because there is little to tell.

    Your files, your servers

    No uploads, no lock-in. If a file manager can reach it, EyePlayer can index it. Formats: MP3, FLAC, M4A/AAC, ALAC, Ogg/Opus, WAV.

    Gapless & ReplayGain

    Albums flow the way they were mastered, at the loudness you choose.

    Free to start

    Both apps are free to use. Premium adds USB sync, the EQ and ReplayGain, network sources and offline downloads, and drops the ads. A$10.99 launch price, paid once, no subscription.
