Convusic opens shared music links in the service you actually use. A friend sends a Spotify link but you live in Apple Music? One tap — or no taps at all — and you're listening in your own app. Works across Apple Music, Spotify, TIDAL, YouTube Music, Deezer, and Amazon Music. ANY LINK, EVERY SERVICE Paste a link to any song, album, or artist and Convusic finds it everywhere else — complete with artwork and a one-tap "Listen on" list for every service that carries it. AUTOMATIC IN SAFARI Turn on the Convusic Safari extension and music links open in your service automatically — no copying, no switching apps. Prefer to stay in control? Leave automatic redirects off and Convusic shows a banner on the page instead, converting only when you tap. Your default service and redirect behavior are one tap away in the extension popup. IN SYNC EVERYWHERE With iCloud, your default service and settings follow you to iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Set it up once and forget about it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no tracking. The Safari extension can only see the music websites listed in Settings — never your passwords, tabs, or the rest of your browsing. Note: playlists are personal to each service, so they can't be converted. Convusic works with songs, albums, and artists.
