Read full descriptionHide full description
iMixd is an auto-DJ for the music already on your phone. Press play and walk away β 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 β 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 β 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 β English, Swedish, Spanish, German, French, Arabic, and Kurdish β 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 β 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 β BPM detection, harmonic key matching, energy estimation β 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.

Start by bringing in a sound - Record it, import it, or capture it in the moment. The app automatically detects slices and spreads them across pads, giving you an instant playable layout. It gives you control over how audio is sliced, mapped, and played, so you can turn raw material into something musical. Each slice can be adjusted, You can edit the timing, trim edges, and control how the sample behaves. This makes it easy to clean up recordings or reshape them into something new. The pad interface keeps everything simple. Tap to trigger sounds, build rhythms, and experiment freely. Itβs designed for quick interaction, so ideas come together quickly. The Sampler also helps you easily create advanced rhythms - use note repeat to create rolls, patterns, and rhythmic variations in real time. Layer multiple samples to build depth and texture. Effects are built in. Shape your sound with tools like EQ, compression, delay, reverb, distortion, and more. Apply them directly and hear the result instantly. This lets you move from raw audio to a polished sound without leaving the app. Recording is part of the workflow. Capture your performance, layer ideas, and build something more complete over time. Each take can be refined and reused. Everything stays organized and ready to use. You can export your samples, recordings, or full ideas and move them into other tools or share them.
