   • Sync playlists, favorites and listening history between iPhone and iPad through a shared iCloud Drive sync file. Reconnect each device’s music folders while keeping audio and offline copies local.
   • Add a configurable Home Screen widget for resuming listening, favorites, playlists or saved stations.
   • Resume Listening starts a random accessible song, including offline copies, when there is no previous session. It falls back to a saved radio station if no songs are available.
   • Use Shortcuts and Siri app shortcuts to resume listening, play favorites, or choose a saved playlist or radio station.
   • Check file availability and keep explicit offline copies inside Wavvv. Manage their storage in Settings; playback can use copies while original files are unavailable.
   • Enable Track or Album ReplayGain in Settings to balance tagged music during playback, with peak protection and no changes to original audio files.
   • Import M3U playlists with a preview of matched and missing songs, and export playlists as UTF-8 M3U8 files for other players.
   • Browse your original folder hierarchy and play, shuffle or queue a folder together with its subfolders.
   • Search by several words across titles, artists, albums and filenames. Filter results by category and open artist pages directly from search.
   • Create smart playlists that automatically combine favorites, never-played songs, recently added music and songs you have not heard recently.
   • Keep the current songs when converting a smart playlist to a regular playlist.
   • Select multiple songs to queue, favorite, add to playlists or remove. Edit album tags and artwork across selected original files, with individual save results.
   • Play and Shuffle from the top toolbar in albums, artists, folders, playlists and listening collections, keeping more space for your music.
   • Confirm before discarding unsaved batch metadata edits, and hear VoiceOver announcements for batch, offline-storage and sync results.
   • Open the Songs tab directly and switch between songs, albums, artists, folders and listening collections from its navigation title dropdown.
   • Keep unavailable songs in your library and playlists, show their status, and retry or reconnect them. Playback skips inaccessible files without losing favorites or playlist positions.

   4 changes

   • Open Now Playing full screen on iPad, with artwork, song information, and playback controls on the left and lyrics on the right when space allows. Show or hide lyrics with the Lyrics button, and return to the library without stopping playback.
   • Switch between the top tab bar and a sidebar on iPadOS 18 and later. The sidebar lists every saved playlist for direct access and includes a New Playlist action; creating, renaming, and deleting playlists updates the list immediately.
   • Make iPad lyrics easier to read with larger, bold text and independent scrolling beside the player. Narrow windows retain the single-column player with lyrics available in a sheet.
   • Keep each playlist card's context menu separate so editing or deleting a playlist targets the selected card.

   • Enable CarPlay audio support with Apple's approved entitlement. Browse Songs, Albums, Playlists, Favorites, and Radio from the car, with search, cover artwork, and pagination for large libraries.
   • Use CarPlay Now Playing for playback, shuffle, repeat, favorites, adding the current song to a playlist, and opening the queue or current album. Play All and Shuffle include the entire selected collection.
   • Share the phone's library, stations, and player with CarPlay, including starting the library from CarPlay without opening the phone window.

   1.0.1 Single

   20 changes

   • Restore the current song or radio station, playback position, queue, shuffle, and repeat after relaunch. Playback restores paused.
   • Edit the play queue: reorder upcoming songs with drag handles, remove individual entries, clear upcoming songs, and save the queue as a playlist.
   • Browse artists and their albums and songs, plus Recently Played, Most Played, and Never Played collections. Listening history stays on the device and survives rescans.
   • Set a sleep timer for 15, 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes, or stop at the end of the current song. View, replace, or cancel the active timer from Now Playing.
   • Export and restore library backups containing library information, playlists and covers, favorites, listening history, and radio stations. Restore previews and merges entries without duplicating existing items; original audio files must be backed up separately.
   • Reconnect restored folders and files while retaining song identities, favorites, listening history, and playlist order.
   • Undo the removal of an unavailable song, including its favorite status and playlist positions, from the notice or Settings.
   • Automatically reconnect radio streams after failures or prolonged buffering, with connection status in Now Playing and a manual retry when automatic attempts are exhausted.
   • Group albums by album artist, falling back to track artist, and play them in disc and track order. Untagged songs use natural filename ordering.
   • Prepare the next local audio file before the current song ends to support gapless transitions. Audible continuity still depends on the codec, encoder padding, file availability, and output route.
   • Keep the interface responsive during large imports and rescans by moving library matching, reconciliation, metadata processing, and save preparation off the main thread, with throttled progress updates.
   • Preserve favorites, listening history, playlist edits, and unavailable-song removals made while a scan is running.
   • Improve large-text layouts for song rows, playlist titles, artwork controls, collection playback buttons, and the mini player.
   • Expand VoiceOver support with the two-finger double tap for playback, spoken and adjustable playback position, seek actions, queue reordering, and radio and sleep-timer status.
   • Add keyboard shortcuts for playback, dismissing player panels, and saving or cancelling playlist and station edits.
   • Strengthen Increased Contrast, Reduce Motion, and Reduce Transparency support across playback, library notices, and lyrics.
   • Keep library notices and Undo available while VoiceOver or Switch Control is active, announce playlist errors and backup results, and let lyrics open without automatic scrolling.
   • Tapping a playlist tile opens one playlist screen; removed the extra disclosure arrow and duplicate navigation.
   • Queue drag operations use song identities so a changing queue cannot redirect a move to the wrong row.
   • Prevent cancelled scans or failed save preparation from replacing the saved library, and prevent closed file access from being reactivated during app lifecycle changes.

   • Initial release. Native iPhone and iPad app for iOS 17 and later, with no account or sign-in required.
   • Add individual audio files, select multiple files, or scan a folder and all its subfolders through Files. Open audio shared with Wavvv from other apps.

   • Browse songs and albums, mark favorites, sort the library, and search songs, artists, albums, filenames, playlists, and saved radio stations. Album search results open the complete album.

   • Save configured folders and individual files, access bookmarks, metadata, artwork thumbnails, and favorites across launches. Reimporting the same path refreshes its metadata while preserving identity and favorites.
   • Manage sources in Settings: rescan one or all sources, inspect song counts and scan issues, reconnect moved folders or files, and remove a source from future scans.
   • Reconcile deleted songs after complete folder scans while retaining entries from unavailable or incomplete scans. Report unsupported or broken audio without discarding valid imports.
   • Locate moved songs from their saved folder or nearest available parent. Report unavailable files and remove stale entries from the library, playlists, and queue when playback cannot open them.
   • Remove songs from the library without deleting their original audio files.
   • Play supported MP3, M4A/AAC/ALAC, WAV, AIFF, and FLAC files, including lossless audio where supported by iOS and the file's codec.

   • Keep playback controls available while browsing with a mini player and an expandable Now Playing screen that can be minimized or swiped down without stopping playback.
   • Display cover artwork, an artwork-colored background, song details, a selectable filename, and animated playback indicators.

   • Play radio through the shared player, background audio, AirPlay, and lock-screen controls, with a live indicator, station navigation, and changing track information when supplied by the stream.
   • Store station details and artwork locally. Radio playback requires a network connection.
   • Edit title, artist, album, album artist, date, genre, track and disc numbers, composer, comments, additional tags, and embedded artwork.
   • Write supported MP3, FLAC, and M4A metadata changes to the original file without re-encoding audio, preserving format-specific tags, favorites, and playlist membership.
   • Coordinate file access, verify edits before atomic replacement, and report read-only, unavailable, unsupported, or externally changed originals.
   • Refresh saved library metadata when opening the editor or playing older entries, including missing audio-quality information.
   • Read neighboring LRC, SRT, and TXT lyric files and supported embedded lyrics, including timestamped lyrics inside audio tags. Neighboring files require access to the containing folder.
   • Display synchronized lyrics with the current line highlighted, tap a line to seek, scroll manually, and use Follow Song to resume following playback.
   • Support plain lyrics, UTF-8 and UTF-16 lyric files, local reloads, and an offline lyrics cache. Load the next song's lyrics when playback changes.
   • Adapt to light and dark appearance with artwork-colored collection backgrounds, native navigation and controls, and Liquid Glass where supported.
   • Support Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels, Reduce Motion, and Reduce Transparency, including accessible playback controls and lyrics.
