Give music the whole screen.
Flowing artwork, spinning vinyl and scenes that move with your music. Explore 11 immersive modes; new modes marked TestFlight are available in the beta.
Cover Gallery
Current artwork in front with library covers moving behind it
Vinyl Deck
The artwork becomes the label of a spinning record while the tonearm rests in the groove
Cover Flow
The playing song faces you while what just played and what’s up next stand angled on a glass floor, with lyrics below the reflection
Flowing Lines
Evolving contours orbit the artwork with three lyric lines
Starlit Aurora
Artwork-colored aurora curtains ripple over a starry sky behind the current lyric
Radial Pulse
A rotating record ring responds to the actual audio
Spectrum Horizon
A full-width spectrum skyline rises from a glowing horizon and mirrors on the floor
Particle Bloom
Stardust radiates from the artwork and brightens with the beat
Chladni Sand
Fine sand on a vibrating metal plate settles into symmetric patterns with the music; every beat scatters it and it settles back
Firefly Sync
Fireflies over a night meadow fly in three layers: low ones flash with the kick, the middle with the vocals, the high ones with the cymbals
Neural Resonance
A real fruit fly’s hearing circuit turns slowly as a hologram and lights up stage by stage along its actual wiring as the music plays
More ways to make it yours.
From offline collections to sharing a favourite lyric, useful details are close at hand.
Downloads that stay separate
Manage saved downloads separately from the automatic cache. Choose audio quality and take downloaded artwork and lyrics with you.
Audiobooks and podcasts
Resume where you left off, browse chapters and set a separate listening speed. Find podcast subscriptions in your region’s directory.
Optional intelligence
Semantic search, scene recommendations, tag suggestions and album introductions. Use built-in services or choose your own provider and model per feature.
Your layout. Your sound.
Arrange Home and CarPlay, then set the equaliser, crossfade and sleep timer to suit the way you listen.
From files to servers. Your music, connected.
Primuse does not ask you to move your music. Connect the sources you already use and it organizes songs, albums, artists, playlists and history while every track stays where it belongs.
