About

Features

Track Tailor automatically builds and updates Apple Music playlists based on rules you define — so your music is always exactly where you want it. Set up a playlist once and the app keeps it fresh: by genre, artist, release year, or a rolling window like "the last 30 days." Syncs run in the background, even when your screen is locked. What you can do: - Filter by genre, artist, date range, or title keywords - Include and exclude rules — get what you want, skip what you don't - Choose All Time, a specific year, or a rolling window (7, 30, or 90 days) - Cap total tracks or per-artist track counts - Shuffle for discovery, or sort chronologically - Run multiple independent playlists, each with its own rules - iCloud sync — configure once, works across all your devices - Background sync with completion notifications Tip: for large artist lists, keeping the app open with the screen active gives the most reliable sync — battery optimization can end long background runs early. About genre search: Genre search uses a built-in curated list of ~70 genres with hand-picked artists — works offline, no account needed. For genres not in the list, the app falls back to MusicBrainz, a free community music database. Niche, regional, or very new genres may not always be found. Richer sources like Spotify, Last.fm, and Discogs may be added in a future update. What you cannot do: - Manage or edit playlists not created by this app - Search by title — search is currently artist-based One developer. One app. Track Tailor is a solo indie project built by one person (with Claude AI along for the ride). Your feedback has a direct impact: - Missing a genre or artist in the built-in list? Let me know — it gets updated from user input. - Have a feature idea? Send it in. If it fits and enough people want it, it'll get built. Remove ads: The free version includes a small banner ad. A subscription removes it and directly supports development and API costs. Monthly and yearly options available. Requirements: Apple Music subscription required. iCloud account required for cross-device sync. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call
