CloudFader

Multi-device synchronized music playback for live events.

CloudFader runs on one Windows computer and lets phones, tablets, or other computers control and join playback from a browser. No mobile app is required.

Developed by Serelix Studio.

Download

Download the latest CloudFader.exe from GitHub Releases.

The release contains one portable executable. Put your music in an audio folder next to the exe, then run it.

Quick Start

1. Download CloudFader.exe.
2. Create an audio folder next to CloudFader.exe.
3. Put .mp3, .m4a, .wav, or .ogg files in that folder.
4. Double-click CloudFader.exe.
5. Open the displayed Cloudflare URL on controller devices.
6. Open /player.html on playback devices and press Enable Player.

On first launch, CloudFader downloads cloudflared.exe automatically. Internet access is required for the public Cloudflare URL. Local LAN URLs still work on the same network.
