A collaborative queue for Apple Music, powered by MusicKit

Roomzic connects to Apple Music through MusicKit so guests can suggest and vote on songs while playback stays perfectly synced on the host's device.

How it works

1

Connect Apple Music

The host signs in with their Apple Music account; Roomzic requests a developer token and a per-user music user token through MusicKit.

2

MusicKit runs in the host's browser

Playback is handled by Apple's MusicKit JS, running in the browser of the room's designated device — the same mechanism Apple Music\'s own web player uses.

3

Guests suggest songs

Guests search the Apple Music catalog from their phone with a free Roomzic account and suggest tracks to the room.

4

Host approves, or guests vote

The host manually approves suggestions, or — with Premium — guests vote and the most popular tracks rise automatically.

5

Synced playback for everyone

Approved tracks join Roomzic's internal queue and play back through MusicKit, keeping the room in sync on what's currently playing.

Why use Apple Music with Roomzic

Stay inside the Apple Music catalog

No need to switch services: guests search and suggest from the full Apple Music library you're already subscribed to.

Playback handled by Apple's own MusicKit

Roomzic doesn't reinvent audio playback — it uses Apple's official MusicKit JS, the same technology behind Apple Music's web player.

One shared, synced queue

Everyone in the room sees the same upcoming tracks and the same "now playing" state, no matter whose suggestion is up next.

No app to install for guests

Guests join and suggest songs straight from a mobile browser with a free account.
