Enjoy your own party instead of playing DJ all night — and stop fielding complaints about the playlist. With Jukebox, your guests vote on what plays next, so the music is what the room actually wants. The host starts a party from their Apple Music library and shares a code or QR. Everyone votes, the most popular songs rise to the top, and the winner plays next. NO DOWNLOAD NEEDED FOR GUESTS Your guests don't need the app. One QR code works for everyone: • iPhone — an App Clip opens in about a second, nothing to install • Any other phone — the voting page opens in the web browser, instantly • Already have Jukebox? It opens straight into the party NOW ON APPLE TV Get the free Jukebox app on Apple TV and the whole room can follow along: the song playing now, the queue with live vote counts, time-synced lyrics, and a join QR guests scan from the couch. Pairing takes seconds — the TV shows a four-character code and you type it on your phone. No remote typing, no cables. Best of all, your music keeps playing from your phone. The Apple TV draws the party screen by itself, so it never hijacks your audio the way screen mirroring does. Your speakers, your Bluetooth, your setup — all untouched. No Apple TV? Jukebox still shows the party screen on any display you connect or mirror to, and on any TV with a web browser. BUILT FOR IPAD On iPad, Jukebox becomes the jukebox itself. Now playing, the live lyrics and the queue all sit on screen at once, and you drag the dividers to give each one the space you want. Prop it on a table and the room can see what's on, what's next, and how the votes are falling — without anyone picking up a phone. Karaoke mode fills the screen with time-synced lyrics for the whole room to sing.
