About

iMixd

Read full description

iMixd is an auto-DJ for the music already on your phone. Press play and walk away โ€” the next track flows into the current one like someone behind decks set it up. What's in the app: Auto-DJ that listens to the music, not your taste profile. Tracks are matched by tempo and harmonic key, transitions are chosen per pair โ€” beat-matched crossfade, echo, EQ swap, filter sweep. You don't pick the style; it picks the right one for the moment. Your music stays on your phone. No streaming subscription. iMixd reads files you already have, whether you imported them or pointed it at a folder. Nothing is uploaded. Manual DJ mode (Pro). Two full decks, 3-band EQ, hot cues, loops with beat-quantized snapping, tempo slider, sync button. Works on phones. Works much better on tablets in landscape โ€” that's where Manual DJ was actually designed to live. Party Lock. Stops whoever's next to the phone from skipping the song you queued for that exact moment. Tap-tap to unlock when you actually want to change something. Dark and light modes. Mix presets for parties, workouts, weddings, club nights, throwbacks, and more. Available in seven languages โ€” English, Swedish, Spanish, German, French, Arabic, and Kurdish โ€” with full right-to-left support. Free vs Pro: Free: smart auto-DJ, basic crossfade, all themes, Party Lock. Up to 100 songs in your library. Pro ($3.99/month or $19.99/year): unlimited library and queue, Manual DJ mode, all transition styles, smart energy-flow sorting, folder import, session stats. One subscription on either tier โ€” no ads at any level, no add-ons, no gotchas. A note on AI: iMixd doesn't use AI. The mixing is built on actual audio analysis โ€” BPM detection, harmonic key matching, energy estimation โ€” not language models or generative anything. Everything runs on your device. Privacy: No ads. No tracking. Crash reports are opt-in and off by default; you can turn them on or off in Settings any time. Reset and erase local data from Settings whenever you want.
