Playback
Rediscover your music.
Spin through your Apple Music library to surface the playlists and songs you’d forgotten.
Generate new playlists based on sonic similarity.
No accounts, no tracking, and no subscription.
Songs
An endless rotation drawn from your own library. A bespoke algorithm blends genre lineage, song tempo, and sonic similarity to build a queue that prioritises the songs you’ve played most and those that have been in your library longest.
The result is a unique playback queue that feels curated, built from the songs you already care about.
Every played queue is saved to Playback’s History, so you can save the playlists you love.
Playlists
You’ve got good taste: Playback brings it to the fore. The Playlists tab spins a dial through your Apple Music playlists and lands on one at random. Your collection, reshuffled, with none of the deciding.
Design
Build a playlist by drawing its shape. Sketch an energy curve — from glacial calm up to full intensity — and Playback fills it with songs that rise and fall to match. Curate playlists to suit your mood.
Just ask
Every mode answers to your voice. Ask Siri to make a playlist, design one by mood, play something at random, or save what’s playing to your library — and tap a Control Center button to start the music without unlocking your phone.
It all runs on Shortcuts, so you can wire Playback into routines of your own.
