About

tuvalindë is a music intelligence layer for Apple Music. Choose five to ten artists you love, then JUMP IN. tuvalindë takes it from there, learning from the songs you finish and the ones you skip to shape what plays next. No playlists to manage. No radio stations to choose. Just music that fits you, right now. Your listening gives the engine direction. Completions reinforce what works. Skips help it change course. Over time, tuvalindë builds a personal taste profile that reflects your listening across sessions, including patterns by time of day and day of the week. When the vibe stops working, the engine can pivot toward a different direction or return to familiar songs you’ve enjoyed before. Want to take control? Switch the vibe, search for a specific song, or settle into an entire album. You can also play any track directly from the Now Playing album track list on iPhone and CarPlay. tuvalindë combines your listening preferences with a shared library of acoustic fingerprints; mathematical descriptions of how songs sound. That gives it a starting point from your first JUMP IN, while your listening helps make the experience increasingly personal. Take that experience into the car with CarPlay. Jump In, revisit Recent Plays and Top Listens, or use Voice Search to find a song, artist, or album. Browse album artwork and track lists without reaching for your phone. Explore your Listening DNA to see your completion rate, listening time, top artists, most-played tracks, musical vibes, and listening patterns throughout the week. Follow along with synced, auto-scrolling lyrics and artwork-inspired colors where available. tuvalindë is free to use, with no ads, no additional subscription, and no separate account to create. Your taste profile is learned and stored on your device. Shared song information and acoustic fingerprints support music discovery, with song identifiers used to find related tracks and avoid repeats. You can reset your local listening history using Clear All Data in Settings. An active Apple Music subscription is required. tuvalindë uses MusicKit to access Apple Music’s catalog and your library, and music playback is handled by Apple Music. tuvalindë is built for people who care about what plays next.
