## What is basketweave?

A simple Apple Music player designed for children.

basketweave turns your Apple Music library into a child-friendly music player focused on the playlists you choose.
Children can browse albums, start playback with a single tap, and enjoy their favorite music without navigating the complexity of a full music streaming app.

FEATURES

• Play music directly from your Apple Music library
• Show only the playlists you choose
• Browse music by album and artist
• Simple, distraction-free interface
• Large artwork and easy-to-use controls
• Continue listening where you left off
• Fast access to current playback
• Offline playback for downloaded Apple Music content
• Supports Light Mode and Dark Mode
• Designed for dedicated family devices and everyday use

BUILT FOR FAMILIES

Many music apps offer endless browsing, recommendations, and features that can be overwhelming for younger listeners. basketweave focuses on simplicity.
Parents choose which playlists are available, while children get a clean and intuitive experience that makes it easy to enjoy music independently.

PRIVACY

basketweave does not collect or sell your data, display advertisements, or track your listening habits.
Enjoy a simple way to share the music you love with the people you love.

APPLE MUSIC REQUIRED

basketweave works with your existing Apple Music library and requires an active Apple Music subscription. Music playback and library access are provided through Apple's MusicKit framework and respect your Apple Music account permissions.
