The smartest way to listen, discover, and connect with sound.
Your music · Your phone · No cloud · No subscription
Scan your device once. Arise handles the rest — a home feed that knows your taste, a search that actually finds things, a player that looks as good as it sounds, and Shorts that scroll like Instagram Reels, except every reel is your music.
Most players just play files. Arise treats your library like a living thing.
| Background playback. Lock-screen controls. Synced lyrics. Album-art gradients that shift with every track. A wave progress bar when you want something a little extra. | Scroll Shorts like Reels — double-tap to like, swipe for the next vibe. Get recommendations built from your listening, not an algorithm in a data center somewhere. | Everything stays on your phone. No account. No upload. No tracking. Your files never leave your device — Arise just makes them feel incredible. |
Open Arise and it already knows the vibe. A greeting with your name. Recently played. A daily shuffle. Recommendations from real listening habits. A playlist spotlight. A Shorts preview that says "Catch a new vibe" and means it.
Empty library? It'll tell you — then point you to scan.
Swipe up through tracks like you're scrolling Reels. Each one auto-plays. Double-tap sends a heart explosion. Single tap mutes. Hold to pause. Drag the seek bar when you need to skip ahead.
The side rail works the way you'd expect — Like · Playlist · Share · Save. Artist handle up top. Your avatar on the reel. Toggle between a custom video background and album art with one tap.
Play an entire playlist in Shorts straight from the playlist screen. Yeah, that exists.
Swipe up from the mini player and you're in.
Gradients pulled from the cover art. Shuffle and repeat. Lyrics that scroll in sync — tap a line to jump there. Expand lyrics full-screen. Flip on a custom video background. Link a YouTube reference if you want context.
The wave progress bar is optional. Turn it on in Settings when you're feeling it.
Type a name. Or don't — tap a card for Recent, Liked, Suggested, or Top Pick. Hashtag shortcuts like #Recent and #Liked work too. Results play instantly.
Grid or list. Sort by recent or oldest. Create playlists with custom covers. Pin your favorites. Reorder tracks with a long-press drag. See total duration at a glance. Edit, delete, add tracks — all there.
Hit Scan Now and Arise walks your device for every audio file — animated progress, live counter, the works. Metadata gets pulled automatically (title, artist, album, year).
Then customize anything:
- Rename tracks · swap cover art · attach a looping video
- Import lyrics · drop in a YouTube link
- Hide tracks from Arise without touching the actual file
