Your offline library,finally built for iPhone.
Local-first music player. Your music stays on your iPhone — organized in folders, playlists, and tags, with CarPlay and background playback. No cloud music library. No accounts required.
Currently in TestFlight while we polish the experience for App Store launch.
Calm, focused, and made for your library.
Every surface in Stow is designed around one thing: your files, playing beautifully.
Upload from your browser.
No cable. No cloud.
Open Stow on your iPhone, open the address on your Mac or PC, and drag files right in. Assign a destination folder per file. Drag entire folders from Windows Explorer. Everything stays on your local network.
Tip: drop a cover.jpg inside a folder to set its artwork.
Four things, done exceptionally well.
Import, organize, listen, personalize. Everything else is out of the way.
Bring your library into Stow—your way.
Move your music, audiobooks, podcasts, long recordings, and even listen to the audio from compatible MP4 video files. Whether you're transferring a few songs or an entire collection, Stow makes importing simple.
Learn ImportingDrag and drop files or folders from any Mac or PC using your web browser over your local WiFi network. No cables. No extra software.

Keep your folders. Layer in playlists, tags, and search that actually reach every corner of your library.
Learn OrganizationPick up where you left off from the Library home or save your most recently played as a new playlist.
Playback that just gets out of the way.
The essentials done right — background playback, CarPlay, resume, speed, and a proper sleep timer.
Learn PlaybackYour full library on the road, with native templates.
Say “play [playlist, folder, artist, or track] in Stow.” Play, pause, and skip hands-free.

Clean presets that shape your sound.
Set your own fade between tracks.

- Continue where you left off — every session.
- Build queues effortlessly with Play Next and Add to Queue.
- Ask Siri to play a playlist, folder, artist, or track — in Stow.
- Glance at Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for what's playing.
- Listen in the car with CarPlay, using the same library and queue.
- Fall asleep with a proper Sleep Timer — end of track or on a clock.
- Enjoy uninterrupted playback that never stops for a Wi-Fi hiccup.
