The app collects nothing
The app has no accounts, no analytics, and no crash reporting. It shows no ads. It makes no network requests.
Audio files you import stay on your phone. The app never uploads or shares them. If you back up your phone, the backup includes them. The loop analyzer runs on the device. Deleting the app deletes everything it stored.
This page sets no cookies. Plausible counts page views without cookies, and I see only totals. Its script loads from plausible.io; everything else loads from plateworks.org itself.
Netlify hosts the page and keeps ordinary server logs.

Support
Undercurrent plays your own audio files on a loop, underneath audio from other apps. It reads files you import from the Files app. It has no accounts, no library of its own, and no network features.
Things that are working as intended
- Lock screen and Control Center show no transport controls for Undercurrent. iOS withholds them from any app whose audio mixes with other apps. Transport lives in the app, and the blend toggle switches to exclusive playback when you want the buttons back.
- A file reports a crossfade. The analyzer found no clean splice point and chose the fallback. Either path loops without an audible seam.
