What Psywave does

Words In, Songs Out

Tell Psywave what you want to hear — "drum and bass intensity" or "focus for deep work" — and it builds a tracklist around that exact mood.

Photos Become Playlists

Point Psywave at a sunset, a road trip, or a rainy window. It reads the mood and colors, then scores the moment with real tracks.

See Your Sound

Every playlist comes with a genre breakdown chart, so you can see what your vibe is made of before you import it.

Remix And Extend

Remix any playlist into a fresh set, or add 10 more songs with one tap when you want the night to keep going.

Your Library Of Moods

Every playlist you generate is saved. Re-import any of them to Apple Music whenever the mood comes back around.

Export Anywhere

Share a playlist, copy the track list, or send a CSV that moves into Spotify, YouTube Music, TIDAL, or Deezer through Soundiiz or TuneMyMusic.

About Psywave

Turn any photo or mood into a real playlist in seconds — then play it in Apple Music with one tap.

Psywave is an AI playlist maker for people who hear a moment before they can name it. Pick a photo — a sunset drive, a rainy window, a party — or type a vibe like "neon city at 2 a.m." or "Sunday coffee, slow and warm", and Psywave builds a playlist of real songs that fit.

PHOTOS BECOME PLAYLISTS

Psywave reads the light, colors and mood of your picture and scores it with real tracks. Share a photo to Psywave straight from the Photos app, or ask Siri: "Make a playlist in Psywave."

FAMILIAR HITS OR DEEP CUTS

Choose how adventurous each playlist is: crowd-pleasers, a mix, or the underrated album tracks you haven't heard yet. Playlists include artists from your own country when they fit, and come back titled in your language.

ONE TAP INTO APPLE MUSIC

Every song is matched to the Apple Music catalog, so what you see is what plays. Preview any track, remove what you don't like, add ten more, then import the whole playlist.

SHARE THE VIBE

Share a link anyone can open: every song links to Apple Music, with search links for whatever app your friends use. Each playlist also gets a story-ready card with a scannable code. Using another service? Export a track list you can import there.

PSYWAVE PRO

• Unlimited playlists

• Longer playlists, up to 50 songs

Start with 3 free playlists. Psywave Pro is a monthly or annual subscription, or buy credit packs and pay only for what you make. Credits never expire, and if Apple Music has almost none of a playlist's songs in your country, the credit comes back automatically.
