Album first
MiniMoon puts the album at the center: covers you browse like a record shelf, pages with credits and audio details, and playback that starts at track one and keeps going. Your files stay where you put them, tagged the way you left them.
The album page
The cover and credits sit beside the track list, so a long album never pushes its artwork off the screen. Year, genre, composer, and label link to the rest of your library. Click a label to see every album you own from it. A single line sums up the record: running time, file size, sample rate, and bit depth.
Nothing to decide
Discover shows your library one album at a time, cover first. Browse with the arrow keys, filter by artist, genre, or label, and play whatever catches your eye. Or roll the dice with Play Random Album. The records you forgot you owned come back around.
Tags
Browse every artist, composer, genre, and label on one page. Select a tag to see its albums, or type to find the one you want. Pin favorites to keep them at the front. Enable Tags in Settings to add it to your sidebar.
Collections
Mix individual tracks and whole records in a collection. View it as a track list or a wall of album covers, just like the rest of your library. On Mac, pin a collection to Home to give it a shelf of its own.
Tag editor
Spot an incorrect year or a missing cover halfway through an album? Fix it as you listen. The editor works across every supported format, steps through the track list from the keyboard, and lets you replace cover art with your own images. On Mac, edit sort names to put artists, albums, tracks, and composers in order while keeping their displayed names. How to edit tags and album artwork.
Search
Results arrive as you type, grouped into albums, artists, composers, and tracks, with each track's format and bit rate beside it. Albums come first, ready to play from the beginning.
Mini player
Keep cover art, playback controls, and search close by in a compact window. Find your next record while you work.
iPhone and iPad
Take your album covers and library pages with you, and play music stored on your phone offline. Download free to browse and play your whole library. A one-time purchase unlocks tag editing, the equalizer, and the file and track browsers.
MiniMoon Sync
MiniMoon Sync copies your library from your computer to MiniMoon on iPhone or iPad over your home network. It runs on Mac and Windows, so you can bring your library across from either. No cables or cloud storage needed.

★★★★★
If you're bored with endless playlists of flighty tunes, and just want to reconnect with your own albums, this is for you.
★★★★★
The best iOS local music player there is. The Mac app is equally excellent. Helpful and responsive developer; fair one-off pricing.
★★★★★
The most convincing reason to me though is that you don’t have to worry about an arbitrary service agreement that might have “your music” being gone one day.
★★★★★
So far, I’ve tested over 16 FLAC player apps, all of which had numerous shortcomings and missing features. That’s where MiniMoon comes in…
★★★★★
It is also clearly designed by someone who loves music. The support of the opus codec, the last.fm integration, the focus on albums… and the statistics are wonderful.
★★★★★
I use it every day and I’ll never go back to a streaming service!
