Crescendo Remote is an independent third-party control app compatible with selected Bang & Olufsen speakers based on the Mozart Platform™. It lets you instantly restore complete listening setups across your home. Instead of repeatedly adjusting speaker settings and properties by hand, Crescendo Remote lets you save complete listening situations as Scenes and return to them instantly with a single tap, Siri, or Shortcuts. Create dedicated setups for focused listening, movies, late-night sessions, radio, vinyl, podcasts, or multiroom listening. Crescendo Remote is designed to make complex high-end audio setups faster, calmer, and more personal to use every day. — SCENES INSTEAD OF REPEATED MANUAL CONTROL — At the center of Crescendo Remote are Scenes: user-defined listening situations that can combine volume, source, sound settings, and multiroom routing across one or multiple speakers. Instead of rebuilding the same setups over and over again, Scenes can be restored instantly - whether for music in the morning, radio while cooking, vinyl sessions on weekends, film nights, or quieter listening in the evening. Especially in multi-speaker environments, Crescendo Remote reduces everyday friction by keeping complex listening states ready whenever they are needed. — PRIVATE, ON-DEVICE SUGGESTIONS — Crescendo Remote can privately learn from the way you use your Scenes and suggest relevant listening situations over time using on-device machine learning. The app never changes anything automatically or takes control away from the listener. Crescendo Remote is designed to support listening rituals - not replace them. — DEEP APPLE ECOSYSTEM INTEGRATION — Crescendo Remote supports Siri, Shortcuts, HomeKit, and iCloud Sync. Scenes can be triggered outside the app through Siri and Shortcuts, integrated into larger personal automations, and synchronized across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Through HomeKit integration, Crescendo Remote can also trigger existing HomeKit Scenes - allowing audio, lighting, and room atmosphere to work more closely together. — NIGHT MODE AND MORE THAN TWENTY THEMES — Beyond functionality, Crescendo Remote places strong emphasis on a calm and refined interface. A dedicated Night Mode features a reduced black-and-red interface inspired by instrument displays and low-light environments. More than twenty curated Themes bring materiality and personal expression into the digital layer - from understated silver, gold, and titanium-inspired interfaces to more expressive color variations designed for different rooms, moods, and listening situations. — COMPATIBILITY — Crescendo Remote is compatible with selected Bang & Olufsen speakers based on the Mozart Platform™.
