Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn any photo or mood into a real playlist in seconds β then play it in Apple Music with one tap. Psywave is an AI playlist maker for people who hear a moment before they can name it. Pick a photo β a sunset drive, a rainy window, a party β or type a vibe like "neon city at 2 a.m." or "Sunday coffee, slow and warm", and Psywave builds a playlist of real songs that fit. PHOTOS BECOME PLAYLISTS Psywave reads the light, colors and mood of your picture and scores it with real tracks. Share a photo to Psywave straight from the Photos app, or ask Siri: "Make a playlist in Psywave." FAMILIAR HITS OR DEEP CUTS Choose how adventurous each playlist is: crowd-pleasers, a mix, or the underrated album tracks you haven't heard yet. Playlists include artists from your own country when they fit, and come back titled in your language. ONE TAP INTO APPLE MUSIC Every song is matched to the Apple Music catalog, so what you see is what plays. Preview any track, remove what you don't like, add ten more, then import the whole playlist. SHARE THE VIBE Share a link anyone can open: every song links to Apple Music, with search links for whatever app your friends use. Each playlist also gets a story-ready card with a scannable code. Using another service? Export a track list you can import there.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Selectr at none against Psywave's 5. Psywave's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
