What Musicolet is, and why it is not on iPhone
Musicolet is free, ad-free, has no internet permission, supports multiple queues, an equalizer, folder browsing, lyrics and tag editing. It is exactly what a lot of people want, and it does not exist for iOS as of September 2026. On Android the two now meet: see MP95 vs Musicolet.
What covers it on iPhone
MP95 is built on the same principle: no network access, no account, no ads, your files read in place. It adds what Musicolet never tried: six drawn machines, a real analog sound chain, visualizers, Room Light, widgets, an Apple Watch remote and a Mac app. The cassette deck and turntable are free forever.
Which to pick
There is no Musicolet for iPhone. For the no-internet principle on iOS, MP95 is the one that keeps it.
