Features

Your Files, Your Library

Import entire folders of audio files straight from the Files app. Tonora reads each file’s metadata and automatically organizes everything into artists, albums, and songs — no manual sorting required. Open a single audio file from anywhere and it starts playing instantly. If you ever reinstall the app, relink a folder and your library snaps right back into place.

Browse and Search

Scroll through your collection by artist, album, or song with fast alphabetical indexing and sorting. Search across your whole library to find exactly what you want to hear.

10-Band Equalizer

Shape your sound with a 10-band parametric equalizer, from 32 Hz sub-bass to 16 kHz air. Start with one of ten built-in presets — Bass Boost, Treble Boost, Vocal, Rock, Pop, Jazz, Classical, Electronic, or Acoustic — or dial in each band yourself.

Every song, album, playlist and track can have its own EQ curve and volume level. Keep your quiet jazz records level and your live recordings punchy — Tonora remembers each override and applies it automatically during playback.
