BeeTunes is a premium, skeuomorphic music player for your own audio files and streaming catalog — a shelf of warm, tactile machines, from a walnut turntable to a cassette deck. Import audio from Files or AirDrop, or search the streaming catalog when you want to hear something new. Then choose what plays it: a turntable, a CD deck, a cassette deck, a radio or a digital player. Each works the way the real thing does — the tonearm lowers, the reels turn, the dial lights up — and a swipe takes you to the next one. WHY BEETUNES • Local-first listening: your imported files stay on device and work offline. • Works with Apple Music: search and play catalog songs with an active subscription. • Your own music, your way: import MP3 and more from Files, iCloud Drive, or any app via AirDrop and "Open in…". • Emotional, tactile design that makes listening feel like playing a real record. FEATURES • Five hand-built machines, all free: turntable, CD deck, cassette deck, radio and digital player, each with its own controls and sounds. Drag the tonearm to move through a song, or wind the tape with a finger. • Catalog search, playback history, and quick replay from recent songs. • A skeuomorphic library — every track is a record tucked in its sleeve on a leather strip; tap to audition it in place. • Queue management: shuffle, repeat (off / all / one), an up-next queue, and title/artist search. • System integration: Now Playing, Lock Screen and Control Center controls, and a Lock Screen card that shows the machine you are playing on. Interactive Home Screen widgets for every machine: the small turntable is free, and one purchase, BeeTunes Pro, unlocks the rest for good. • An Apple Watch companion to browse and control playback, with Digital Crown volume. PRIVACY FIRST BeeTunes has no account and collects no data. Imported music stays on your devices. Catalog search and playback use Apple's MusicKit service, and playback history is stored on device for quick access. BeeTunes is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple Inc. Apple Music, Apple Watch, AirDrop, and MusicKit are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.
