Tactus: Feel Music
Music you can hold
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Music you can hold.
Tactus turns the music around you into rich, layered touch — bass as a deep swell in your palm, every beat a sharp tap, brightness as texture. Built with and for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, and for anyone who wants to feel music in a new way.
FEEL IT LIVE
Point the microphone at the world: concerts, weddings, rehearsals. Live captions transcribe vocals and announcements right under the visuals — entirely on your device.
EXPLORE THE TEXTURE
Rest the phone on your open palm. Tilt left to feel only the bass bones of a song; tilt right for the rhythm's skeleton. Touch the living matter on screen and slide from its heart (pure bass) to its rim (pure shimmer).
KEEP WHAT YOU FELT
Every session leaves a tactile print: radial art unique to that song, ready to share — or touch it to feel the whole night again.
MADE FOR EVERYONE
VoiceOver throughout, magic tap to start and stop, high contrast and calm motion modes, and feel profiles for concerts, home and sleep.
No account. No ads. No data collected — nothing ever leaves your phone.
Tactus is free.

A polish release: a more beautiful tactile print, a "Feel a sample" button to tune before you start, full Dynamic Type support, plus bug fixes and lighter battery use.
