Version 1.2 · local-first music

Saltpath Music

An inspiring, local-first music system for the library you already own.

The Mac hosts your library. iPhone and iPad controllers help you browse, queue, and listen across your home network.

Free to download. Everything is unlocked for 14 days, then a single Core Unlock purchase covers both apps.

New in version 1.2

Artist photos, a calmer interface, and albums that go where you go.

Version 1.2 adds credited artist photographs, a rebuilt listening interface, whole-album downloads, library filters and smart playlists, and playback that remembers where you were.

How Saltpath Music works

Three simple parts. All on your network.

1

Mac is the host

Add your music folders once. Saltpath indexes your catalog and keeps it available at home.

2

Apple devices control

Browse, queue, search, and manage playback from iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

3

Listen where it fits

Play locally or use supported network renderers, with the route made visible.

Get Saltpath Music

Two apps, one purchase.

Install the Host on your Mac first, then the Controller on iPhone or iPad. macOS 12 Monterey or later on Apple silicon and Intel; iOS or iPadOS 15 or later. Read the installation guide.
