Summary

Cue the Music Man is a free app for iOS and macOS that turns a mood, artist, song, or free-form feeling into a 40-track playlist. Users can request remixes with directions such as darker, more obscure, or more kinetic. Cue connects to Apple Music and YouTube Music to create, update, and export playlists, and supports track previews, playlist management, and sharing playlists or share cards. Tracklists can be imported from images, Markdown, text, or CSV files. With microphone access, Shazam can identify a song. Playlist generation and remixing use Gemini through Firebase AI Logic, which receives the prompt and relevant playlist context. Saved playlists remain on the device unless optional iCloud sync is enabled. Cue says it does not sell personal information, show in-app advertising, or maintain its own user account system. YouTube Music features require a connected Google account, and third-party service availability may affect features. Optional sharing of qualifying playlist sessions and limited metadata is off by default.

Who it is for

It suits iOS and macOS users who want to build or reshape playlists from natural-language prompts and connect music services. It may also suit people who want local playlist storage unless they choose iCloud sync.
