Same second, different phones

Share a room code and friends hear what you play. A guest who drifts plays a few percent faster or slower until they're back in step, so the music never stops to catch up.

Every cover sets the colour.

OpenTune takes a Material palette from each cover and builds the player around it: the background, the buttons and the seek bar change with the song. The whole app can follow it too.

    Glass, colour and room to breathe.

    Frosted bars that let the page show through, a dock that tucks away as you scroll, and loading screens that show the shape of what's coming.

    An early iOS version.

    Apple doesn't allow apps like OpenTune on the App Store, so it installs through SideStore or AltStore, which sign it with your own Apple ID. Setting one of them up needs a computer once. After that, OpenTune installs, updates and re-signs itself on the phone. Add the OpenTune source and install it from there. iOS 16 or newer.
