TickPlay Guides
Short, specific instructions for getting your own music onto Apple Watch and playing it offline — with the prerequisites, the steps and the limits stated up front.
Start here: to get music onto your Apple Watch, put the watch and your
computer on the same Wi-Fi network, run python3 -m http.server 8000 in your
music folder, then open the Download tab in TickPlay, scan the server and download the
folder. The transfer guide covers this in detail.
How to Transfer Music to Apple Watch
Send music from your computer to Apple Watch over your local Wi-Fi network using TickPlay and a plain HTTP file server.
Supported Audio, Video and Lyric Formats
Which audio, video and lyric formats TickPlay plays, which it decodes itself, and which it can only store.
How to Add Synced LRC Lyrics to Your Music
Prepare a .lrc file so TickPlay scrolls lyrics in sync with your music on Apple Watch.

Common TickPlay problems on Apple Watch and the steps that resolve them.
How these guides are maintained
Every guide states its prerequisites, its steps, its limits and the source the steps were checked against. Where a behaviour depends on the app version, the version is named. If a step does not match what you see on your watch, the troubleshooting guide lists the usual causes, and you can reach support at zfwkqns@gmail.com.
