Each word lights up as it's sung, so you can follow along or sing over the top. Click any line to jump to it.
Singing in a language you don't speak? Press Translate and every line gets its meaning underneath, in any of 31 languages.
Albums that have motion artwork on Apple Music play it right in the sleeve, on album pages and while the song plays. Everything else keeps its still cover.
Each page takes its colour from the artwork, so no two albums look the same.

One universal build, native on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
Download for macOSOpen the disk image and drop Aurora Music into your Applications folder.
The first time, right-click the app and choose Open, then Open again. After that it opens normally.
One installer for x64 and ARM64 PCs. Rather not install? Get the portable version.
Download for WindowsWindows warns about new apps. Click More info, then Run anyway.
Aurora Music is in the Start menu, and your media keys control it.
The AppImage runs anywhere. There's also a .deb for Debian and Ubuntu, and an .rpm for Fedora and openSUSE.
Download AppImagechmod +x Aurora-Music-*.AppImage, or sudo apt install ./Aurora-Music-*.deb.
Media keys work through MPRIS, so your desktop's player controls show the song too.
For Android 7 and newer. Open this page on your phone, or send the file to it.
Download for AndroidAndroid asks before installing apps from outside the Play Store. Allow it for your browser or file manager, just this once.
Music keeps playing with the screen off, with controls on the lock screen. Downloads and the equaliser are still desktop-only.
The iPhone version is being built. Its download will appear here, next to the others.
iPhones don't install apps from a download. A one-time setup with AltStore or SideStore and your free Apple ID installs it instead.
With a free Apple ID, iOS asks for the app to be signed again every 7 days. AltStore and SideStore do that in the background.
