Triplet is a music player for the songs you already own. Point it at a folder and it reads the song details itself. It doesn't stream, and nothing decides what you hear next.
It goes into open beta very soon. The player works today, and the launch is waiting on polish.
You probably built your library yourself, over years. Triplet treats it like a good librarian would: precise, unhurried, and with no opinions about the collection.
Point Triplet at a folder, or a few. It reads the song details (tags) and cover art from the files themselves, and it never copies your music into the app. It checks for new files each time it opens, and you can rescan whenever you like.
Browse by track, album, artist, folder or playlist. Search as you type. Build playlists and reorder them, mark favourites, and queue exactly what you want to hear next.
Shuffle, repeat one or repeat all. A sleep timer that can wait for the end of the track instead of cutting it off. Background playback with lock-screen and notification controls, and Android Auto. Light, dark or true-black themes.
If a track has a synced-lyrics file (.lrc) next to it, or synced lyrics saved inside it, Triplet follows along line by line. Nothing is fetched from anywhere to make that happen.
Listening time by day, your top artists and tracks, a breakdown by format. All of it counted on your device, for you, and sent nowhere.
Your playlists, favourites and play history can sync through a hidden folder in your own Google Drive. Never the music itself. Or export them to a single backup file (JSON). There's no account with us, and your songs never leave your device either way.
The honest state of the build, updated as things land.
| Piece | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Formats | Works | MP3, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG and WAV, with embedded tags and cover art. |
| Android | Works | Folders read in place through Android's own folder picker. This is where the open beta starts. |
| Desktop | Works | Windows, Mac and Linux read your music folders directly. They'll be released after Android. |
| iPhone and web | Partial | The player runs there, but reading your folders isn't built for them yet. Until it is, there's nothing for it to play. |
| Other clouds | Planned | Dropbox, OneDrive and Nextcloud show in settings as "coming soon". They don't connect to anything yet. |
| Streaming downloads | Not supported | Songs "downloaded" from a streaming service are locked to that service's app. No other player can open them. Triplet plays files you actually own. |
Listed in order, with no dates. Each step starts once the one before it is solid.
Open a milestone for the details.
The beta becomes a proper release, with the same pricing as the rest of the family: pay a little once, or watch one untargeted ad once. Desktop follows.
Reading your library on iOS, and connecting to Hamlet the way Leaflet and Wavelet already do, so the collection at home reaches the phone in your pocket.
