FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When can I use zentr? +

Right now. zentr is in public TestFlight beta — open the TestFlight link and join directly while places are available. TestFlight is Apple's free app for testing new apps.

Does zentr cost anything? +

Not during the beta. At release there will be a fair model.

Which platforms are supported? +

iPhone and iPad are fully supported. Mac runs technically but isn't officially tested yet. No Android version planned.

Is my data tracked? +

No. zentr has no tracking, no telemetry and no cloud requirement. Your library stays on your device and — if you want — in your iCloud so you can use zentr across multiple devices.

Can I use Apple Music? +

Yes, fully. zentr is natively integrated with Apple Music. Spotify isn't possible currently — Spotify doesn't offer a third-party-player API.

Can I add my own files? +

Yes. Import your own audio drama folders or individual files via sideloading. They stay stored locally and sync via iCloud. Audio: MP3 · M4A · M4B · AAC · WAV · FLAC · AIFF Video: MP4 · MOV · M4V (H.264, HEVC or AV1)

How does YouTube without the algorithm work? +

zentr uses public YouTube channel feeds. You choose who you follow — we show everything chronologically.
