FAQ

Frequently asked

When can I use zentr?

zentr is currently in TestFlight beta. Sign up for the waitlist and we'll invite you to the next wave.

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.

How does YouTube without the algorithm work?

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