AlgoRythm is a high-precision dashboard for Apple Music listeners who want to understand and shape their own taste. It turns your play counts, ratings, and listening history into clear music stats, shareable album grids, and personalized Liner Notes. No passive feed. Just your data, explained. NEW RELEASES FROM YOUR ARTISTS Never miss a drop again. AlgoRythm watches your library for new albums and singles: your most-played artists are checked daily, and a weekly sweep covers the rest. Announced titles appear under Coming soon, up to a year ahead, with a link to Apple Music to pre-add them. Split into Albums and Singles, sortable by Rotation Weight, with Love and Suggest Less ratings and swipe-to-hide built in. A coverage indicator shows exactly how much of your library has been scanned. SHUFFLE ON YOUR TERMS Meet Smart Shuffle: queues built from your actual listening history. Pick a recipe like Rotation, weighted by your Rotation Weight, Rediscovery for tracks you have not played in weeks, or Deep Cuts for the ones you barely touched. Album Shuffle rebuilds the ritual of playing records front to back, in disc order. Set a window, choose a duration from 30 minutes to 8 hours, and optionally blend in your Last.fm scrobbles. Play instantly or save as an Apple Music playlist; a saved queue restores instantly when you come back, and generation shows you which stage it is in. Pro members can filter by genre. PLAY WITHOUT LEAVING Hit Play on any album or artist page, tap a tracklist row to start there, or shuffle an artist's top songs. A Now Playing bar docks above your tabs while music plays, and opens a full-screen player with seekable progress, transport controls, and quick Love or Suggest Less tuning for the song, album, and artist currently on. TUNE YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS Rate tracks, albums, and artists with Love or Suggest Less to send stronger signals to Apple Music. Surface the gems, skip the filler, and make your personalized mixes feel more like you. PROTECT YOUR TASTE Mark artists or albums as disliked to keep them out of your grids and personal reports. Long-press any shuffle row for Never Suggest Again and block songs, albums, or artists from your queues without touching your Apple Music ratings. Great for keeping one-off listening, like children's music, from shaping your overall picture. THE LINER NOTES Dive into your listening stats. Track Rotation Weight, Skip Velocity, and deep-dive artist and album insights to see who dominates your airtime. Generate beautiful, shareable Liner Notes and high-fidelity album grids from your history, now with an optional concrete date range. CURATE YOUR DISCOVERY Go Crate Digging or look Behind the Counter for daily music recommendations pulled from your deepest listening habits. Choose how often they appear: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or a single growing Master playlist. SYNC YOUR HISTORY Connect your Apple Music library, and optionally link your Last.fm scrobble history to restore years of taste the native app has forgotten. COUNTING TOWARD DECEMBER In the background, AlgoRythm now measures your real per-period play counts for In Rotation, a year-end recap landing in a future update. Everything stays on your device, so when the recap arrives it is built on what you actually played. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your Apple Music data is processed on your device. No ads, no analytics, no required account. One single purchase unlocks AlgoRythm Pro for life.
