Track Tailor

Track Tailor automatically builds and updates Apple Music playlists based on rules you define — so your music is always exactly where you want it.

Set up a playlist once and the app keeps it fresh: by genre, artist, release year, or a rolling window like "the last 30 days." Syncs run in the background, even when your screen is locked.

What you can do:
- Filter by genre, artist, date range, or title keywords
- Include and exclude rules — get what you want, skip what you don't
- Choose All Time, a specific year, or a rolling window (7, 30, or 90 days)
- Cap total tracks or per-artist track counts
- Shuffle for discovery, or sort chronologically
- Run multiple independent playlists, each with its own rules
- iCloud sync — configure once, works across all your devices
- Background sync with completion notifications

Tip: for large artist lists, keeping the app open with the screen active gives the most reliable sync — battery optimization can end long background runs early.

About genre search:
Genre search uses a built-in curated list of ~70 genres with hand-picked artists — works offline, no account needed. For genres not in the list, the app falls back to MusicBrainz, a free community music database. Niche, regional, or very new genres may not always be found.

Richer sources like Spotify, Last.fm, and Discogs may be added in a future update.

What you cannot do:
- Manage or edit playlists not created by this app
- Search by title — search is currently artist-based

One developer. One app.
Track Tailor is a solo indie project built by one person (with Claude AI along for the ride). Your feedback has a direct impact:
- Missing a genre or artist in the built-in list? Let me know — it gets updated from user input.
- Have a feature idea? Send it in. If it fits and enough people want it, it'll get built.

Remove ads:
The free version includes a small banner ad. A subscription removes it and directly supports development and API costs. Monthly and yearly options available.

Requirements: Apple Music subscription required. iCloud account required for cross-device sync.
