Sound Widgets
Your Home Screen Sound Player
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your music, your widget: Apple Music, playlists, Spotify, and your own recordings as personal Home Screen tiles—with a customizable playback range.
Sound Widgets puts your favourite songs or your own audio snippets right on your Home Screen.
Create personal widgets with songs from Apple Music, shared Spotify tracks or short recordings of your own. Tap the widget to play: Apple Music songs start in the background exactly where you set them. Spotify widgets open the track in the Spotify app. Recordings launch a player inside Sound Widgets.
FEATURES
• Widgets in three sizes: small, medium and large
• Apple Music integration with search by title or artist
• Import Spotify tracks via the Share menu
• Record audio in the app or import via Share (e.g. Voice Memos, Files)
• Photo from your library or album cover as the widget image
• Set the start time with a slider for Apple Music — playback begins right there
• Share songs from Apple Music, Apple Music Classical or Spotify to Sound Widgets
• No account, no cloud — all data stays locally on your device
NOTES
• Apple Music requires an Apple Music subscription.
• Spotify widgets open the Spotify app (Spotify must be installed).
