LOCAL AUDIO // ZERO NETWORK // ANDROID 12+

Your music. Your device.

> HELP /CAPABILITIES

Local playback without the service layer.

Select one music folder. NocturneL scans that selected folder and its descendants, builds a local library, and keeps playback and listening data on the device.

LIB

Albums, artists, and search

Browse in grid, cover-flow, or artist views. Search locally and sort by artist, title, year, or play count.

NOW

Playback that stays active

Gapless transitions, seeking, shuffle, repeat, background playback, media notification, and Android lock-screen controls.

QUE

Editable queue

Use an editable queue: add tracks or albums, jump to any item, drag to reorder, remove and undo, or clear what is coming next.

VIS

Terminal visualizers

Switch between album artwork, circular radar, spectrum bars, and frequency-grid views with adjustable sync.

PLY

Portable playlists

Build portable playlists, import or export M3U/M3U8 files, reorder tracks, and back up every playlist in a ZIP.

LOG

Listening activity

Favorites, play counts, listening history, most-played sorting, and playback resume all remain local.

> CONFIG /DISPLAY

The interface is part of the player.

The website now follows NocturneL's default green terminal palette. Inside the app, the display can be changed without changing how your library works.
