About Audion.
Audion was started to solve a straightforward problem: why are modern music players either clunky and dated, or polished streaming services that refuse to play your own local library?
We built a player that combines a responsive, themed interface with the performance, reliability, and privacy of a native offline tool.
Core principles
The design decisions that guide every feature we ship.
Privacy First
Your data is yours. Audion never uploads your library or tracking data to any remote server. Everything executes locally on your device.
User Control
Every shortcut, color token, and layout element is customizable so the player adapts to your desktop workflow, not the other way around.
Open Source
Audion is built transparently by the community. All source code is publicly accessible on GitHub for anyone to inspect, audit, or fork.
Built with Care
We are music listeners first. Audion began as a direct response to bloated, closed-source streaming clients that gatekeep local media.
