Control your Sonos speaker system from your iPhone and Apple Watch — the remote it always deserved. Nudge is a full speaker controller for iPhone, with a purpose-built Apple Watch app that turns your wrist into a remote. Every speaker, every connected music service, every room — in one fast, focused app. (A quick first-run setup on iPhone finds your speakers and connects your account; after that, both apps just work.) ON YOUR APPLE WATCH Nudge is built specifically for Apple Watch — not a shrunken phone app. Full-bleed album art, precise Digital Crown volume with haptic feedback, Double Tap to play and pause without touching the screen, and a watch face complication that shows what's playing and jumps you straight in. One-handed, glanceable, instant. ON YOUR IPHONE The full controller in your pocket: Now Playing with album art and transport, voice and text search across your library and Favorites, speaker and group management, and DJ Access — all in a clean, focused interface that's faster than the apps you've been using. VOICE SEARCH Say what you want to hear — Nudge searches your personal music library and Favorites and plays it. Hands-free voice dictation on Apple Watch while you cook, work out, or move around the house, plus fast search on iPhone. One tap to play. NOW PLAYING Full-screen album art with intuitive playback controls. Precise volume — Digital Crown with haptics on the Watch, smooth sliders on iPhone. Shuffle, repeat, and crossfade. Skip, scrub, and switch rooms in a tap. DJ ACCESS Turn your friends into DJs. One invite and they can control your speakers — play from your library and Favorites, adjust volume, switch rooms. No passwords shared. Safe and secure. Your system, your rules. SPEAKERS AND GROUPS See every speaker and group on your network. Switch rooms instantly. Create and modify groups on the fly. Album art thumbnails show what's playing where, at a glance. FAVORITES Your saved Favorites for one-tap playback — stations, albums, and playlists across all your music services. FAMILY SHARING One subscription covers your entire Apple Family at no extra cost. Requires iPhone with iOS 18.6 or later. Apple Watch features require Apple Watch Series 6 or later with watchOS 11.6 or later. Compatible wireless speakers on the same Wi-Fi network. Requires a Sonos system on your Wi-Fi network. —- Nudge is independently developed and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Sonos. Sonos is a registered trademark of Sonos, Inc.

Core Features AI Stem Separation Separate any song into 6 individual tracks with one tap: Drums Bass Piano Guitar Vocals Other Instruments Control each part independently for focused practice and listening. Detailed Stems The busiest tracks can be split one level deeper: Lead Guitar Acoustic Guitar Strings Synth Brass Saxophone Back Vocal Extracted parts become their own tracks, while the rest is grouped into "Remaining Other" and "Lead Vocal". Toggle them any time, solo them, or export them alongside the base tracks. Detail models download on demand and run entirely on your device, so your audio is never uploaded. Import Audio or Video Import audio and video files from local storage or your photo library. You can also record audio or rehearsal videos for practice tracking and content collection. Mute, Solo, and Track Control Mute instruments, solo individual parts, or adjust the volume balance of each track. Focus on exactly what you want to hear and practice. Auto-Detect Sections One tap splits the whole song into sections, with the boundaries lined up to the bar. Each section becomes a loop you can drill on its own — no markers to set by hand. A/B Loop Practice Create loop regions for difficult sections, save multiple practice segments, and quickly switch between them. Improve repetition and training efficiency. Speed Control Adjust playback speed to slow down songs and hear rhythms, details, and performance nuances more clearly. Ideal for transcription and slow practice. Pitch Shift Change the key of a song without affecting playback speed. Perfect for singers finding a comfortable vocal range and musicians practicing in different keys. Project Saving Automatically save practice projects and history so you can continue where you left off. No need to re-import files or recreate settings. Track Export Export separated tracks for sharing, rehearsal, backing track creation, or further practice. Why Musicians Choose Jam Turn full songs into practice tracks within seconds Remove vocals for backing track practice Practice individual instrument parts separately Split guitars into lead and acoustic, or separate harmonies from the lead vocal Loop difficult sections for focused repetition Slow down songs to hear details more clearly Change song keys to match different vocal ranges and practice needs Support both audio and video practice workflows Save long-term practice projects Local processing for offline use and enhanced privacy AI Chord Recognition Makes Learning and Playing Songs Easier Chord Recognition by Beat Chord Numbers Support Flexible Key Switching Who It’s For Guitarists Bassists Drummers Singers Cover Musicians Band Members Music Students Ear Training Learners Transcription Practitioners Rehearsal Preparation Users EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
