About Clickwheel - Classic Player
A music player that only plays music. No account. No streaming. No recommendations, no ads, no notifications from the app. Just your own music and a wheel that clicks. THE WHEEL No slider, no buttons: your finger circles the surface, and every few degrees it notches – audibly and, if you like, physically. It reads the angle to the centre rather than the distance travelled, so a tight circle near the middle feels exactly like a wide one at the edge. Click sound and vibration can each be switched off. YOUR MUSIC Add tracks with "Add files" or "Add folder". Whole collections are quicker through the Files app: open the app's folder, drop your music into "media", then tap "Check library" in the app. Title, artist, album, genre and artwork are read from the files' own tags; without them the filename becomes the title. QUIET LISTENING Focus mode hides the status bar so nothing on screen competes with the music, and it can keep the display awake. For real quiet, add a Shortcuts automation: "When app is opened" – turn on a Focus. ENTIRELY OFFLINE The app never asks for a network. It collects nothing, measures nothing, sends nothing. There are no accounts and no servers. NOTHING LOST ON THE WAY Streaming sends compressed audio; what arrives is less than the original. Clickwheel plays your files exactly as they sit on the device: FLAC, WAV and AIFF lossless, no re-encoding, no equaliser, no loudness adjustment. What you add is copied byte for byte. ALSO • Artists, albums, songs, genres • Background playback • Sleep timer, clock, stopwatch • MP3, M4A, AAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF TAG MANAGER (FULL VERSION) Many files carry no tags at all, turning a library into a list of file names. The tag manager fills in title, artist, album, track number and year from the file name, surrounding folders and tracks that are already tagged — entirely offline and without overwriting existing tags. FULL VERSION The app is free to use and free of ads; two case colours are included. A one-time purchase unlocks the tag manager, playlists and the five remaining case colours. No subscription, no running costs. For everyone who owns their music instead of renting it – and wants to be left alone while listening.
