## What is BeeTunes?

BeeTunes is a premium, skeuomorphic music player for your own audio files and streaming catalog — a shelf of warm, tactile machines, from a walnut turntable to a cassette deck.

Import audio from Files or AirDrop, or search the streaming catalog when you want to hear something new. Then choose what plays it: a turntable, a CD deck, a cassette deck, a radio or a digital player. Each works the way the real thing does — the tonearm lowers, the reels turn, the dial lights up — and a swipe takes you to the next one.

WHY BEETUNES
• Local-first listening: your imported files stay on device and work offline.
• Works with Apple Music: search and play songs or entire albums with an active subscription.
• Your own music, your way: import MP3 and more from Files, iCloud Drive, or any app via AirDrop and "Open in…".
• Emotional, tactile design that makes listening feel like playing a real record.

FEATURES
• Five hand-built machines, all free: turntable, CD deck, cassette deck, radio and digital player, each with its own controls and sounds. Drag the tonearm to move through a song, or wind the tape with a finger.
• Search songs and albums, browse album tracks, and replay recent songs. Selected catalog music is automatically saved to your drawer alongside local music; long-press to remove it. Online playback requires an active subscription and internet access.
• A skeuomorphic library — every track is a record tucked in its sleeve on a leather strip; tap to audition it in place.
• Queue management: shuffle, repeat (off / all / one), an up-next queue, and title/artist search.
• System integration: Now Playing, Lock Screen and Control Center controls, and a Lock Screen card that shows the machine you are playing on. Interactive Home Screen widgets for every machine: the small turntable is free, and one purchase, BeeTunes Pro, unlocks the rest for good.
• An Apple Watch companion to browse and control playback, with Digital Crown volume.

PRIVACY FIRST
BeeTunes has no account and collects no data. Imported music stays on your devices. Catalog search and playback use Apple's MusicKit service, and playback history is stored on device for quick access.

BeeTunes is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple Inc. Apple Music, Apple Watch, AirDrop, and MusicKit are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.8 — 2026-10-29

BeeTunes 2.8 presses your records in color vinyl, prints your CDs and molds your tapes in colored shells.

• Press the turntable's records in translucent, smoke, marble, splatter or opaque color vinyl, each colored from its album's cover, or give every album a pressing of its own. Translucent vinyl glows in its color on the side toward the light, and your Home Screen widgets play the same record.
• Four special editions join them: Starry Night, Quad Split, Drip and Mother of Pearl, whose sheen shifts as you tilt your phone.
• The CD player prints its discs the ways real discs are printed: a silver CD, a spot color, a gold CD, a vinyl-look CD, the cover printed straight on silver, or a burned CD-R written on in marker.
• The cassette deck molds its tapes in clear, smoked, tinted or solid-color shells, with a paper label or the title printed right on the shell.
• A new palette button in the player's corner changes how the machine in front of you looks, and takes you to any of the five machines.
• The turntable gets a straight tonearm, and its records a smooth run-out by the label. On iPhone Duo stood part open, the record is bigger.
• On iPhone held upright, the turntable, cassette deck and radio play from a single row of keys, with shuffle and repeat at the top of Up Next.
• Every machine now carries the BeeTunes maker's mark.

### 2.7 — 2026-10-23

BeeTunes 2.7 rebuilds the CD player as a hi-fi top loader and brings new ways to listen on a folding phone.

• The CD player is now a hi-fi top loader: a smoked lid you lift by hand, and a heavy puck holding the disc down. RANDOM, REPEAT and PROGRAM are real keys that light up on its display, and the widgets and lock screen get the new look too.
• Stand iPhone Duo part open to watch your music play: the turntable lies on the lower half under its raised dust cover, the spinning record mirrored in it. The CD player and the cassette deck lay their booklet or J-card open on felt below, the songs there to tap.
• Open iPhone Duo out flat to flip through your whole collection in a crate, and pick a record, tape or disc to play it.
• While a station plays, the radio's dial carries the BeeTunes maker's mark.
• While a podcast episode plays, the digital player's screen grows taller.

### 2.6 — 2026-10-22

O BeeTunes 2.6 transforma o player digital em um player de podcasts e traz mais jeitos de encontrar algo para ouvir.

• O player digital agora toca podcasts: aperte MENU para navegar pelos programas na tela dele e, quando um episódio termina, começa o próximo que você ainda não ouviu. O episódio e a capa também aparecem no widget e na tela bloqueada.
• Um interruptor deslizante de verdade no rádio e no player digital alterna entre suas músicas e o rádio ou os podcasts, retomando a última estação ou episódio que você ouviu.
• Abra a busca do Apple Music sem digitar nada para explorar: uma seleção aleatória, Top Charts, Para Você e suas playlists.
• A aba Álbuns agora mostra o ranking dos álbuns mais ouvidos.
• Corrige músicas dos rankings do Apple Music que às vezes apareciam sem capa.

### 2.5 — 2026-10-21

O BeeTunes 2.5 coloca a rádio ao vivo no ar e deixa o toca-discos ainda mais parecido com o de verdade.

• O rádio agora sintoniza rádios pela internet: as estações populares da sua região aparecem assim que você o abre, com busca, predefinições e seus próprios links de stream. O rádio e o widget lembram a última estação que você ouviu.
• Apoie a mão em um disco tocando para fazer scratch: a música desacelera, acelera e até toca de trás para frente com a sua mão.
• Gire o disco para avançar também nas músicas do Apple Music.
• A agulha agora fica exatamente onde você a coloca.
• Corrige capas do Apple Music que às vezes mostravam a arte errada na caixa de discos.

### 2.4 — 2026-10-20

O BeeTunes 2.4 organiza sua biblioteca e integra ainda melhor o streaming.

• As músicas do Apple Music agora também aparecem, com capa, no cartão de reprodução da tela bloqueada.
• Uma biblioteca mais limpa: abas para a origem da sua música e para o que você quer explorar, e a busca fica recolhida em um botão até você precisar.
• Toque na música que está tocando para pausar ou retomar, na biblioteca e nas páginas de álbum do Apple Music, onde “Reproduzir álbum” também vira “Pausar”.
• A caixa de discos separa álbuns e singles em abas próprias.
• Na horizontal, o visor do CD player tem um tamanho mais adequado atrás de um vidro fluorescente mais realista, e o layout e os botões do rádio foram corrigidos.
• Corrige capas ausentes em músicas do Apple Music tocadas recentemente.
