The cover art of the music in the room, full screen

Ambient Cover listens to the music playing around you, recognizes the track and shows its cover art on your iPhone or iPad. Put it on a shelf or a stand and it becomes an always-on display for whatever is playing, on any speaker, record player or radio.

Choose between several layouts, add a clock, the weather or track progress, and let the screen go dark when nothing is playing.

Always-on cover art for recognized music

Recognizes what is playing

Uses the microphone and Shazam to recognize the music playing around you, from any source.

Full-screen cover art

Turn an iPhone or iPad into an always-on display showing the cover art of the current track.

Private by design

Only a fingerprint of the music is sent to Shazam, never the sound itself. Nothing is recorded or saved.

Layouts and extras

Moving, pixelated, halftone print and LED panel layouts, plus clock, weather, track progress and a blurred backdrop.

Go-dark timer

Lower the brightness after a while, optionally keeping the clock and weather visible.
