Choose what you are doing,
not what to listen to
With close to five thousand stations on the list, the usual outcome is that you scroll, fail to decide, and close the app. zeroPlayer removes the choosing step. Tap Sleep and a quiet station starts, then fades out and stops 45 minutes later.

Five moments are there from the start
One tap on a card settles the station, starts playback and sets the timer. You can pin a station to a preset yourself, or leave it for the app to pick each time.
Sleep at 11pm and Sleep at 3am give you different stations, because the pick takes the hour, the weekday and your country into account. As listening adds up the order shifts towards you — stations you return to move up, ones you skipped inside thirty seconds move down. That reordering is computed on the device.

Only what a radio app really needs. Nothing locked, nothing to subscribe to.
- Internet radio worldwide
- Browse by country, genre and language, or search by name. Around 4,900 stations are on the list.Stations that stop responding are checked hourly and dropped, and where the same station appears several times it is folded into one entry. The list refreshes every six hours.
- Podcasts
- Charts and search, with more than ten thousand episodes across a couple of hundred shows.Progress bar, skip back 15 seconds, skip forward 30, and 1.0×, 1.2×, 1.5× or 2.0× speed. Close the app and it picks up where you left off.
- Sleep timer
- The volume slides down over the last 30 seconds instead of cutting off.Nothing is left playing all night after you fall asleep. You can add ten minutes to what is left, or cancel it on the spot.
- Presets
- A station, a timer and a fade-out saved together under a name and an icon.Five are there when you first open the app. Use them as they are, change them, or make your own.
- Stop playing this
- Remove a station you dislike from the automatic picks and playback moves straight to the next one in rank.Once removed it no longer turns up in recommendations, presets or alarms. You can still find it in the Browse tab, and restore it from Settings at any time. A station you skip within 30 seconds also drops down the order without you pressing anything.
- Listening history
- A monthly report of how many hours you listened and what you played most.It stays on the device. It is never sent to a server and never used for advertising. You can erase it from Settings at any time.
- Keeps playing with the screen off
- Pause and resume from the lock screen and Control Center.After a phone call playback continues. If the call ran long enough to drop the stream, the connection is opened again. Unplugging headphones stops playback.
Wake up to the radio
On iOS 26 and later it is scheduled as a system alarm. It rings through Silent mode and Focus, and tapping “Play radio” on the alarm screen starts the station without opening the app. So you don't sleep through it, the alarm is set four times two minutes apart; stopping it clears the rest.
On iOS 25 and earlier a notification arrives at the time you set and tapping it starts the station. Silent mode has to be off for that one to make a sound.
Twenty alarm melodies
What you listen to never leaves your device
No account, no sign-in. Presets, favourites, listening history and your position in a podcast are all stored on the device. The server only supplies station and podcast lists; the audio comes straight from the broadcaster and never passes through the developer's server.
Questions people ask
Is it free?
Yes. There are banner ads on the list and history screens, and none on the playback screen or on the screen an alarm opens. No feature is locked behind watching an ad, and there is no subscription or in-app purchase.
Will the alarm sound in Silent mode?
On iOS 26 and later, yes — it is scheduled as a system alarm, so it breaks through the silent switch and Focus. On iOS 25 and earlier it arrives as a notification, which follows Silent mode, so you need to turn Silent off for that one.
Can I choose the alarm sound?
You pick between the default alarm sound and twenty classical melodies — Bach's Cello Suite No. 1, Grieg's Morning Mood, Mozart's Turkish March and others. The compositions are in the public domain and the recordings were made for this app. Volume and a gradual fade-in are set per alarm.
The automatic picks keep giving me a station I dislike
Press “Stop playing this” on the playback screen. That station leaves the picks and playback moves straight to the next one in rank; it will not come back in recommendations, presets or alarms, though you can still find it in the Browse tab. You do not have to press anything either — a station you skip within 30 seconds drops down the order next time. To undo, open “Stations you stopped” under Settings.
Which stations are available?
Internet radio stations registered with radio-browser. Around 4,900 are on the list right now, and you can narrow by country, genre and language. Stations that stop responding are checked hourly and removed, so fewer taps end in silence.
Does it stop when the screen turns off?
No. The current station and track title appear on the lock screen and in Control Center, and you can pause and resume from there. After a phone call playback continues.
Can I listen offline?
Not listen, no. Internet radio is sound received in real time, so it needs a connection. Station lists are cached on the device, though, so the list still appears when you are offline.
Some stations show no track title
The title only appears when the station sends it along with the audio. A fair number do not, and then you see the station name alone. There is nothing the app can do to find it.
Does my listening go to a server?
No. What you played and for how long stays on the device, and the reordering that adapts recommendations to your history is computed there too. What does go to the server is a random identifier created when you first open the app, the app version, the query, and the id of a station that failed to play.
