AuxCircle · In development · iPhone
A group chat where every message is a song.
For the few people you actually swap music with. Share a song from Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, YouTube or Deezer into a small private circle. It lands as a big artwork tile, and the circle reacts, comments and sees what’s new.

How a circle works
From your headphones to the group.
- 01Start a circleName it after the people in it: Flat 3, The Cousins, Tuesday Five-a-Side. Send an invite link to whoever belongs there.
- 02Share from where you’re listeningTap Share in your music app, pick AuxCircle, tick the circles and add a note. Or paste a link in the app.
- 03It lands as a tileBig artwork, your note, and an orange rail beside it until each person has opened it.
- 04The circle weighs inReactions, an argument in the comments, and everyone opens it in their own app.
Five ways to say what you thought.
- Banger
- Love
- Good
- Mid
- Nah
One tap, on a scale from banger to nah. Reactions and comments decide what rises when you sort a circle by Popular, so the songs people argued about float up.
The feed
A signal path, not a timeline.
- The orange rail means newA line runs past each person who shared. It stays orange above the posts you haven’t opened and dims once you have, and each circle counts what’s waiting.
- Recent, Popular, or one personSort by newest, by what landed best, or filter to one sharer’s picks.
- Tiles or a listBig artwork when you’re browsing, a compact list when you’re looking for that one song from March.
- A note on every shareSay why: “for the drive”, “skip to 1:40”. Notes and comments are set apart from the track details, so they read like people talking.

When can I get it?
AuxCircle is in development and isn’t on the App Store yet. It’s coming to iPhone first.
Does it play the music?
No. AuxCircle plays no audio. Tap a song and it opens in the app it came from, so it plays on your own Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, YouTube or Deezer.
Do my friends need the same streaming service?
No. Each post links to the song where it was shared from, and anyone in the circle can open that link.
Who can see what I post?
Only the people in that circle. There are no public profiles, no feed of strangers and no search.
How do people join?
You send an invite link from your iPhone’s share sheet to whoever you choose. A link expires after 7 days or 20 uses, and making a new one cancels the old one. AuxCircle never reads your contacts.
What do I sign in with?
Sign in with Apple. There’s no password, phone number or profile photo. See the privacy policy for exactly what’s kept.
Pass the aux to the people who get it.
