New: a redesigned Browse tab. Hand-picked highlights on a featured stage, themed collections to swipe through, and the full catalog with search and sorting.
Muky makes it easy to create and manage music and audiobook playlists for your kids using your Apple Music or Spotify account - or files stored right on your device. With Guided Access, Muky ensures a focused, distraction-free audio experience, keeping them entertained and safe.
Features:
* Kid-Friendly Audio Player: Lightweight player built for kids: shuffle, AirPlay, a scrubbing progress bar, and auto-stop timers for bedtime. It remembers exactly where you left off - perfect for music and audiobooks.
* Cover List Navigation: Kids browse music through an intuitive cover view or a scrollable track list with title, artist, and duration. Albums are auto-grouped and tracks show play indicators. Switch between cover grid, track list, or both in settings.
* Multiple Profiles: Create a profile for each child with their own playlists and independent settings. Each profile has its own password, theme, auto-stop timer, player preferences, and music source - Apple Music, Spotify, or Local Files. Switch profiles instantly with a long-press on the Account tab.
* Personalized Playlists: Create playlists of songs, albums, or audiobooks. Pick a title and color, then upload your own image, choose cover art from your tracks, or let Muky pick one at random - so each is easy for kids to recognize.
* Browse Curated Content: A Browse home with hand-picked albums and audio plays for kids: featured stage, themed collections, and a searchable album grid. Preview tracks and import whole albums with one tap.
* Suggested Titles: Each playlist surfaces hand-matched songs from the artists in your tracks. Preview before adding, tap "New" for a fresh batch, and grow your library without leaving the playlist. Apple Music only.
* Local Files: No streaming subscription needed - play music and audiobooks stored on your device or in iCloud Drive. Add folders, search them, and build per-profile playlists that play locally with lock-screen controls.
* Offline Mode: Listen to favorite tracks without internet - great for travel or poor coverage.
* Music Service Integration: Use your Apple Music (recommended, fully supported) or Spotify (experimental) subscription to access and add content. Import playlists by URL or from your library, link and sync with one tap, and drag & drop tracks between playlists. Explicit content is clearly marked.
* Admin Area: Manage playlists and controls in a dedicated admin area, separate from the kid's audio player. A dedicated Audio-Player Settings page bundles all player toggles in one focused place. Start the app directly in player mode for quick access.
* Share Playlists via QR Codes: Generate a code, let others scan it, and they instantly have your playlist - great for sharing audiobooks across family devices or with friends.
* Freeze Dance Mode: Built-in musical game that randomly pauses and resumes playback. Tune play and pause timing with sliders for the perfect difficulty.
* CarPlay Support: Play kids' playlists from your car's display. Browse playlists, switch profiles, and resume where you left off.
* Privacy-First Analytics: Optional, anonymous usage data is processed on our own servers - never shared with third parties. Turn it off any time in Settings, Privacy.
* Security Features: Enable Guided Access to keep your child in the app, and secure the audio player mode with a password. Kids cannot exit without the parent-set password.
* User-Friendly Setup: Step-by-step onboarding covers app setup, creating playlists, Guided Access, and setting a password.
* Premium Subscription: Start with a 1-week free trial! Unlock offline mode, create unlimited playlists, and add unlimited songs. Choose individual or family plans for up to 6 members. Previous one-time purchasers retain permanent audio player access.

Muky is wonderful app! It has an exceptional integration with Apple Music and a very easy to use interface. The ability to separately create or import playlists is very useful, particularly if you’re a heavy user of Apple Music. Most importantly, the app provides a safe opportunity for children to enjoy music. The developer is also very kind and high responsive.

It’s okay, but…

I love it, but… The app started on freeze dance mode, so now I have to go to search to even play it all the way through and it’s annoying. But overall it’s a nice, safe, kid-friendly app.
Developer Response
Thank you for the kind review and the honest feedback! What you describe sounds like the Freeze Dance game mode was turned on by accident. It is never on by default: a dancing figure icon appears in the player only if "Show Freeze Dance Button" is enabled in that playlist's settings, and tapping the icon starts the game, which randomly pauses the music so kids can freeze. Tapping the dancer icon again, or simply pressing play, pause, or skip, ends the game right away and the music plays through normally. You can also hide the button completely by editing the playlist and switching "Show Freeze Dance Button" off. If it still acts up, please write at hi@muky.app and I will sort it out with you. Thanks for helping us make Muky better!
* Redesigned Browse tab - Discover curated kids' content on the new Browse home: a featured stage with hand-picked highlights, themed collections to swipe through, and a full album grid with search and sorting by album title or artist
* Featured stage - Up to five hand-picked albums rotate in a cover-flow carousel at the top of Browse; without a language filter, the highlights now mix all languages
* Subscription at a glance - The subscription page now shows your plan, billing period, status, and renewal date as clear info cards. Family plans are displayed correctly, including switching between monthly and yearly
* Smoother sheets - Import, playlist, and info sheets across the app have been modernized with consistent sizing, and success screens now scroll at large accessibility text sizes instead of being clipped
* Better onboarding - The intro and tips pages have been reworked with feature cards, and switching your music source during setup no longer leads to a blank page
* Honest confirmations - "Import Complete" only appears when tracks were actually imported, and "1 track imported" is finally singular
* Fixes: the Apple Music permission prompt no longer sends you to Settings unnecessarily, and leftover Spotify sign-in data is cleaned up when you disconnect
