MixRule.

For iPhone, Mac and the car. With Apple Music.

Your mix. Your rules.

Choose artists and set the rules. MixRule plays from their complete Apple Music discographies — right away, endlessly and without repeats. Or it builds a finished mix you can come back to.

01

Listen without end

A recipe starts playing at once, and before the queue runs out MixRule adds the next batch by itself. Nothing repeats within a session.

02

Block by block

Artists, proportions, years, recording versions, a time limit and exclusions. You see right away how many tracks and minutes you will get.

03

The whole discography

Tracks from complete Apple Music discographies, not just the biggest hits. The same song on several releases counts once.

MixRule on iPhone

See how it works.

Three short recordings of the real app: listening to a recipe, building a recipe and a finished mix.

01

Listen

One tap and the recipe plays. The heart adds a track to your favourites. When the queue runs low, MixRule adds a batch by itself — here the up-next list grows from 14 to 21 tracks.

02

Build a recipe

Add an artist, set a one-hour limit and leave out acoustic and a cappella versions. The batch line shows right away how many tracks and minutes you will get. A new block narrows the years.

03

Mix and Collection

Build a mix, pin the track you want to keep and draw the rest again. The saved mix waits in your Collection, and a saved recipe plays with one button.

Features

Everything MixRule can do.

Listen

A recipe plays at once and adds new batches when fewer than 3 tracks or about 20 minutes are left. Within a session no recording returns and no artist plays twice in a row.

Complete discographies

MixRule downloads your artists’ complete Apple Music discographies in the background and refreshes them daily, so new albums reach your mixes the next day.

Start from Apple Music

Import your favourite artists from Apple Music or find an artist in the catalogue. New favourites are added every few hours; artists you removed stay removed.

Discover similar artists

A block adds artists Apple Music considers similar — only ones not on your list — and draws their tracks from their Top N. Like one? Keep them for good.

Apple Music Top

An artist’s most popular tracks in your Apple Music region, for example 3 tracks from the Top 10.

Blocks and rules

Period, recording type, album variety, period balance, weighted groups, logical conditions, permanent exclusions and exceptions for single artists, including their albums.

Clean versions

One switch leaves out remasters, deluxe editions, instrumental and karaoke, acoustic and unplugged, or a cappella versions. The time limit moves in 15-minute steps.

Avoid repeats

MixRule remembers recent mixes and tracks played in Listen. It can leave them out or just pick them less often.

Pins and variants

Pin the tracks you want to keep, swap a single track or draw a new variant. The report explains anything that fell short.

Favourites

The heart in the player, in a track’s menu and in CarPlay saves a track to your favourites (up to 500). The Favourites block adds a few of them to every mix and batch.

CarPlay

Recipes, saved mixes and recent listening on the car screen. Tapping a recipe starts listening; Now Playing has the heart, saving a mix and the up-next list.

Collection and sync

Recipes, saved mixes and history, each mix with a cover drawn from its recipe. With an account everything syncs across iPhone, Mac and the browser.

MixRule / Web

More room for your ideas.

The web app complements MixRule. Build recipes and browse your collection in a browser when a bigger screen suits you. Music plays in the app on iPhone, Mac and CarPlay. The web app is in Polish for now.

Good to know

Is this an iPhone app?

Yes. MixRule is a native iPhone and Mac app with CarPlay support. The web app is for working on recipes and your collection; it does not play music.

Which languages does the app speak?

Polish and English. On a device set to another language, MixRule runs in English. The web app is in Polish for now.

Do I need Apple Music?

Yes. Playback, discographies and saving playlists need Apple Music access; MixRule does not provide a subscription. Your MixRule account is separate and only needed for sync.

Does it work in the car?

Yes, with CarPlay. In the car you pick a recipe or a saved mix, and messages stay short and never send you to your phone.

Where do the tracks come from?

From the Apple Music catalogue: your artists’ complete discographies, their Top in your region and similar artists. Until a discography has downloaded, the artist uses their Top 20.

How do I get access?

A public iPhone download link is not available yet. The account for sync and the web app is created the first time you sign in with Apple.
