## What is OpenDeck DJ?

OpenDeck DJ turns your iPhone or iPad into a single-deck DJ player modeled on a professional club media player: a large jog wheel with a spinning platter display, a tempo fader, transport controls, a zoomable waveform, hot cues, beat loops, and automatic BPM and beat-grid analysis.

BRING YOUR OWN MUSIC
Drop MP3, AAC/M4A, WAV, AIFF, FLAC or OGG files into the OpenDeck DJ folder in the Files app (On My iPhone / On My iPad → OpenDeck DJ), or from a Mac via Finder, and browse them from the deck's BROWSE screen. A demo track is included so you can try everything straight away.

ON IPHONE AND IPAD
On an iPad the whole deck is on one screen. On an iPhone it is two landscape pages: the player's screen, and the controls (jog wheel, tempo fader, transport, loops) with the beat meter and BPM in view. Flip between them with the page button or a two-finger swipe.

PLAY ALONGSIDE THE CLUB STANDARD
OpenDeck DJ speaks Pro DJ Link. On a local network it appears as another player next to CDJ/XDJ decks: it can follow the shared tempo and beat grid with SYNC, or take MASTER and lead. It also shares its music: other players list it in their LINK menu and can browse and load its tracks, with BPM, beat grid and waveforms. Link hardware is optional — the app is a complete standalone player on its own.

FEATURES
• Jog wheel with vinyl (scratch) and nudge modes and a live centre display
• Tempo fader with ±6 / ±10 / ±16 / WIDE ranges and MASTER TEMPO key lock
• CUE with AUTO CUE, hot cues A–D, memory points, beat loops from 1/2 to 16 and SLIP
• Zoomable waveform with beat and bar markers, full-track overview and needle search
• Automatic BPM and beat-grid analysis, with GRID ADJUST (snap, shift, reset)
• QUANTIZE so cues and loops land on the beat
• Pro DJ Link: SYNC, MASTER, beat and phase meter, LINK browsing of other players' media, and serving your own to them
• TAG LIST, track INFO and a UTILITY menu (player number, tempo range, quantize, auto-cue level)
• Runs entirely on-device: no account, no sign-in, no analytics

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 0.2.3 — 2026-09-20

UI fixes and a cooler device.

iPhone: CUE, PLAY and the MENU rows now respond exactly where they are drawn, and switching pages no longer stops the deck.

Two OpenDecks on one network can browse and load from each other: an iPhone and an iPad, or two iPads.

Much less heat over a set: a paused deck renders at a low rate, and its audio and Link threads sleep instead of polling. INFO shows the app's CPU use.

### 0.2.0 — 2026-09-19

Now on iPhone. Two landscape pages: the screen, and the controls (jog, tempo fader, transport, loops) with the beat meter and BPM in view. Flip with the button or a two-finger swipe.

Share your music over Pro DJ Link: the app now shows up in other players' LINK menus as a media source, with tags, BPM, beat grid and waveforms.

Loading no longer interrupts playback: tracks decode in the background with a LOADING readout, and loads from linked players are many times faster.

The LINK list names each player's media as the players do, and opens their category menu.

### 0.1.13 — 2026-09-16

No release notes.
