What you can do
- Build scenes. Combine music, layered ambience and effects. Add reverb so a cave sounds like a cave and a church like a church.
- Group them by campaign. Create custom campaigns that fit each group you run.
- Run with one tap. Switching scenes needs no adjusting, so the app stays out of your way.
- Skip the setup. Download community-made campaigns, including Death House.
- Show maps and artwork on a TV, with rain, snow, fog, smoke or magic overlays. See how.
- Control it hands-free with Siri, Shortcuts and a Stream Deck. See how.
- Stream with it. Built-in audio is cleared for commercial use with attribution. See stream-safe music.
What’s free and what’s paid
Free to download, with free sounds, music and effects and up to five scenes. A subscription unlocks the premium library, unlimited scenes, screen mirroring and community campaigns. See what’s free.
What it doesn’t do
- It doesn’t run on Windows, Android or in a browser yet.
- It can’t import your own audio files. You can bring your own music through Apple Music playlists, which need an Apple Music subscription and aren’t cleared for streaming.
- It doesn’t control lights directly. Siri Shortcuts and Stream Deck can start a scene and trigger your lights together. See how.
