Nearplay — Drop. Arrive. Vibe. Your music. Automatically. The moment you arrive. Nearplay connects your music to the places that matter most to you. Set a Destination Drop at any location — home, the gym, a friend's house or your favourite coffee shop (or pub) — and Nearplay plays your chosen music automatically the moment you arrive. No tapping. No unlocking. Just music. DESTINATION DROPS Save any location with a playlist, album or track attached. Walk, drive or cycle — Nearplay triggers your music automatically as you approach, working silently in the background even when your phone is locked. ROADTRIP DROPS Going somewhere? Set your start and destination, let Nearplay calculate your route, and assign different music to three stages of your journey — Early, Halfway, and Final Approach. Your soundtrack changes automatically as you travel. Heading back later? Swap the start and end songs with a single tap for your return journey. INSPIRED BY READY PLAYER TWO Nearplay was born from a moment in Ernest Cline's Ready Player Two — where a song triggers the moment a character arrives somewhere meaningful. That idea stuck. What if your music just knew where you were going? What if it was already playing the moment you arrived? That's Nearplay. Real life, scored automatically. YOUR MUSIC, YOUR WAY Nearplay works natively with Apple Music. Browse and assign any playlist, album or track directly within the app. Apple Music subscribers get full catalog access and can shuffle playlists so tracks play in a random order every time the drop fires. Don't have Apple Music? No problem — Nearplay works with songs you already own. Buy a track on iTunes (typically £0.99) and it's yours to drop forever. Build a small library of meaningful songs for your most important moments. CONTACTS & CALENDAR INTEGRATION Import locations from your Contacts to instantly create Destination Drops for the people and places you visit regularly. Connect your Calendar to automatically create Drops from upcoming events. FREE TO GET STARTED Create up to 2 Destination Drops for free. Use songs from your library or buy them on iTunes — playback works without an Apple Music subscription. Upgrade to Premium for unlimited drops, Roadtrip Drops, Calendar integration, and more. PREMIUM PLANS Available as a monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. See current pricing on this page. Subscription automatically renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID settings.
