FIND YOUR NEXT LISTEN Explore Apple Music recommendations, browse albums and playlists with their artwork, or search the catalog. Return to My Library for your saved music. Use the artist, album and decade filters in My Library to find what you want, then choose a track and press Play. Keep browsing while the music plays. Move between Library, Player and Queue, or close the player and give the visuals the screen. MAKE IT YOUR COLORS Let album artwork inspire the visual palette. Explore ready-made Looks, choose a kaleidoscope, or save a combination of your own. The picture keeps evolving even without audio input. LET THE ROOM JOIN IN Microphone listening brings sound from speakers, a turntable or live music into the picture. Camera reactivity lets your head movement steer the visuals. Compatible Govee lights carry the palette into your room. INCLUDED, FREE • Apple Music player, recommendations and catalog search • Library browsing, filters and play queue • Live fractals, kaleidoscopes and ready-made Looks • Album artwork colors and saved visual styles • Microphone listening and Live EQ • Camera reactivity and compatible Room Lights • PNG sharing PSYCHODELI TOUCH • Perform controls to shape the visuals by hand • Expressive Self, Mask and Eyes camera modes • Camera color capture and silent Live Photos on supported devices • Palette holds, Stay Awake and extra room controls One optional purchase unlocks Psychodeli Touch. It is not a subscription and does not include an Apple Music subscription. The music player is included without a Psychodeli purchase. GOOD TO KNOW • Apple Music access requires your authorization. Full catalog playback requires an Apple Music subscription. Recommendations and playable songs depend on your account and availability. • For sound-reactive visuals, play through speakers and enable the microphone. Psychodeli hears the room, not Apple Music's protected audio stream. With headphones, enjoy evolving visuals and album artwork colors; the microphone cannot hear the track in your headphones. • Live microphone and camera analysis runs on your device. • Light connections are local over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Model support varies; some lights need LAN Control enabled in Govee Home. ALSO ON MAC Psychodeli for macOS brings Apple Music and the visual experience to a larger screen, with native menus and window controls. Psychodeli+ is made by Mind Bending Pixels, an independent studio. Photosensitivity notice: Psychodeli fills the screen with motion, flashing, and rapidly changing colors and patterns. A small number of people may experience discomfort, dizziness, or seizures when exposed to such visuals, even with no prior history. View in a well-lit room, sit back from the screen, take breaks, and stop immediately if you feel unwell.
