Settings
Configure Coda's appearance, audio behavior, server connections, and cache from the Settings tab.
Theme
Switch between four built-in themes: Dark, Light, Midnight, and Ocean. Changes apply immediately across the entire app.
See the Themes page for detailed descriptions of each theme.
Navidrome
Manage your Navidrome server configurations. Add, edit, or delete servers, and switch between them. Each server's library, playlists, and downloads are fully isolated.
Server List
The Navidrome section shows all your saved server configurations. The active server has a green checkmark. Tap a server to switch to it — Coda will load that server's library and playlists.
Adding a Server
- Tap the + button to open the server form
- Enter a name for your own reference (e.g., "Home")
- Enter your server URL (e.g.,
https://music.example.com) - Enter your username and password
- Tap Test & Save to verify the connection and save the configuration
Editing or Deleting a Server
Tap Edit on a server to change its name, URL, or credentials. Tap Delete to remove the server configuration and its offline cache from your device. Tracks already in your local library are not affected.

See the Audio Effects page for detailed descriptions of each preset and band.
Crossfade
Enable crossfade to smoothly transition between tracks. Set the crossfade duration from 1 to 12 seconds. When enabled, two audio players overlap during transitions for seamless playback.
Seamless Playback
Enable gapless playback to eliminate silence between tracks. When enabled, Coda pre-creates an audio player for the next track. Crossfade is automatically set to 2 seconds for optimal transition.
Cache
View and manage your offline cache. Cached files include downloaded audio tracks and artwork from Navidrome.
Viewing Cache Size
The current cache size is displayed in the Settings screen under the Cache section.
Clearing Cache
Tap Clear Cache to remove all cached audio and artwork. This frees up storage space but removes offline access to previously cached tracks.
⚠Permanent Action
Clear All Data
Tap Clear All Data to reset the entire app — playlists, library, settings, and cached files. This action cannot be undone.
