How it works
How arply gets audio to your speaker
AirPlay is a protocol, not a piece of hardware. arply speaks it fluently — so anything that can play audio can join your Apple devices' AirPlay menu.
Your Apple device
iPhone, iPad, or Mac — streaming over AirPlay 2 exactly like it always has.
arply
Runs quietly on your network, speaks AirPlay natively, decodes to clean PCM.
Your speaker
Any DAC, amp, or powered speaker already in your setup.
Why it's different
Local network only
Audio stays on your Wi‑Fi. No account, no cloud relay, no telemetry phoning home.
Not affiliated with Apple
An independent, unofficial implementation of the AirPlay protocol, built by someone who wanted more speakers to support it.
Open, non-commercial
A small, readable codebase and hardware design — inspect it, build it, modify it, send a pull request. Free for personal and non-commercial use; reselling it needs permission. Firmware is Non-Commercial licensed, the hardware design is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
