About this app

Your music. Your files. Your look.

PhantomFader is an offline music player for Android, built for people who own their music. It scans your library, plays it beautifully, and asks for no account, no subscription and no ads.

FIFTEEN WAVEFORMS
Every track can breathe as one of fifteen animated visualizers — Matrix Dots, Phantom Fader, Radial Specter, Ridgeline, Tunnel Vision, Ember Field, Nebula Spiral, Lissajous Veil, Crystal Shards, Aurora Veil, String Theory, Sine Flow, Spectrum, Layered Harmonics and Audio Mirror. Swipe up on the artwork to cycle to the next engine without leaving the song.

TEN SEEK BARS
Choose the scrubber that fits your screen: Hairline, Echo Wave, Mirrored Fader, Liquid Mercury, Segmented Pulse, Comet Ribbon, Twin Beam, Spectrum Thread, Prism Bar or Holo Strip. Auto picks the lightest safe option for your device.

SOUND THAT REMEMBERS
• Equalizer with per-track memory, so each song returns to the shape you gave it
• Sleep timer that fades the music out instead of cutting it
• Queue with shuffle, repeat and gapless playback
• Waveforms computed in the background, so seeking stays instant

FAST ON A BIG LIBRARY
• Chunked scanning that handles tens of thousands of tracks without stalling
• Instant full-text search across title, album, artist and tags
• Playlists, smart playlists and favourites
• Batch tagging for files that arrived with the wrong metadata
• Folder browsing that keeps your own structure, and remembers which folder you were in
• Picks up the last track and position after a restart
• JSON backup and restore, so playlists and statistics move with you

LOOKS LIKE THE MUSIC
The interface draws its accent colour from the album art and shifts as the track changes — cached and debounced, so it never stutters. Light and dark themes, and eight accent colours you can pin instead.

TWELVE LANGUAGES
English, Afrikaans, German, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Turkish. Switch instantly from Settings — no restart.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Your audio never leaves the phone. No account to create, no ads to sit through, no subscription to cancel. Optional usage analytics are off until you switch them on in Settings, and they never carry audio, file paths or tags.

PHANTOMFADER PRO
One purchase, no subscription. Pro unlocks all fifteen waveforms, all ten seek bars, all eight accent colours, home streaming from your own server over Wi-Fi, driving mode with oversized controls, and the Windows companion server for your PC.

PhantomFader plays the music you already own — offline, and looking exactly the way you want it to.

Requires Android 7.0 or newer.
