Most people have thousands of songs saved and hear maybe a few dozen of them. Shuffle keeps coming back to the same handful. Autoplay does too. Eventually even songs you loved start to wear thin. Ohm plays your Apple Music library differently. Press play once and the music keeps going, built from what you play most and keep coming back to. Whatever just played sits out for a while, so songs come back when you've had time to miss them. There's nothing to set up or train. No playlists to build, no queue to manage, no search. That's on purpose. You put music on, then get back to cooking, working or the drive home. Nothing to choose No seed song, station or mood to pick first. Press play. Your songs, not the same few Songs that just played rest for a while before they come back. It lets the song finish When your day changes, the next song changes. The one playing finishes. One tap from your Home Screen The widget starts music without opening the app. Star the ones you love Stars stay in Ohm, so you can mark songs that matter. Private by design Your exact location never reaches Ohm. Ohm needs an Apple Music subscription and plays from your own library. It runs on the Apple Music you already have, so you keep everything you're used to.
