Kapell · every screen
Coming soon · v1.7 Rev. A

Your listening, in sync.

It goes through your iCloud, not ours. There's no Kapell account, and no server of ours that holds a copy of what you play.

  • Listen Log

    Every play, from every device, in one log.

  • Crates

    Start a Crate on the Mac, pick up where you left off in the car.

  • Favorite stations

    Heart one anywhere, find it everywhere.

What's on each.

CarPlay

Grooves on the dashboard.

  • Steer a Groove right on the screen: Not this song, More like this
  • Crates, playlists and Apple's Made for you mixes
  • Get in the car and what the Mac was playing comes with you

Your phone is a remote.

Got Kapell on a Mac wired to your hi‑fi? Pick it as the output and your iPhone or iPad drives it, Grooves and all. The Mac streams straight from Apple Music®, so nothing gets re‑encoded on the way.

Questions, across devices.

Do I need a Kapell account?

No. Your Listen Log, Crates and favorite stations sync through your own iCloud, the same way your notes and photos do. There's nothing to sign up for.

I already bought Kapell for the Mac. Do I pay again?

No. If you bought Kapell before 1.7, your purchase unlocks the iPhone and iPad app too.

Does the iPad cost extra?

No. Kapell for iPhone covers the iPad and CarPlay. It's one purchase and one free trial across all three.

Will a play count twice?

No. A play is logged and scrobbled only on the device that actually played it. Drive the Mac from your phone and the Mac logs it; your phone stays quiet.

Can the iPhone play to my Mac?

Yes. Pick the Mac as the output and your iPhone or iPad drives it, Grooves included. The audio streams on the Mac, so nothing gets re‑encoded.

What do I need?

An Apple Music subscription, and macOS 26, iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 or later.
