Offtrack

Offtrack is an AI DJ app that trims songs, selects tracks and builds transitions into a continuous mix. It suits listeners who want music arranged for them through supported services, particularly on iOS. Its free plan covers unlimited Smart Mix and Smart Queue; frequent use of song highlights requires Pro.

Overview

Offtrack’s Smart Mix combines automated song shortening, transitions and queueing based on how tracks fit together. It can also recommend music that matches a listener’s taste and add those tracks to a mix. That makes it a strong fit for hands-off listening, but less so for DJs seeking a traditional setup with broad manual controls.

Key features

Mixing and song highlights

Smart Mix and Smart Queue are unlimited even on the free plan, so users can explore Offtrack’s central appeal without a mix quota. Highlight Mode shortens tracks to their standout sections; iOS users can adjust song length in Highlight Preferences. Free limits Highlight Mode plays, however, so listeners who want shortened songs throughout a session are better served by Pro. The app also supports beat matching, automated mixing and AI track selection.

Music sources and playback controls

On iOS, Offtrack works with Spotify Premium, Apple Music, TIDAL, SoundCloud Free and a local music library, and supports CarPlay. Catalogue coverage varies: Spotify Premium and Apple Music are partial, while TIDAL provides its full catalogue; SoundCloud Go+ tracks are unavailable. iOS users can edit the queue, save a mix as a playlist, sort tracks by BPM or energy, and filter explicit songs.

Android supports Spotify Premium and SoundCloud Free, but not offline playback, EQ, saved transition points or saved mix order. That is a meaningful gap for listeners who want playback adjustments or repeatable mixes. Android users can book a personal session for setup help, troubleshooting or tips.

Privacy and support

Offtrack says music data is processed on the user’s device and personal data is not stored in a server database. App stores and Google Analytics still collect usage information. Support is available by email at [email protected].

Pricing

Offtrack Free: free. It includes unlimited Smart Mix and Smart Queue, limited Highlight Mode plays, and discovery of up to 300% new songs. This suits listeners who mainly want automated mixes and queues, with highlights as an occasional extra.

Offtrack Pro: $4.99 a month, billed $4.99/month. It keeps unlimited Smart Mix and Smart Queue, removes the Highlight Mode play limit and includes discovery of up to 300% new songs. Choose it if song trimming is part of regular listening; otherwise, Free retains the core mix and queue features. A free trial is available.

Platforms

Offtrack is available on Android, iOS and macOS. Its FAQ lists compatibility with MacBooks introduced from 2020 onward; Windows is not supported. Service options differ by platform, so Android users should not assume they will get the iOS sources and controls.

Who it's for

Offtrack is best for listeners who want an AI-selected, flowing mix without arranging every transition, and who use a supported service. iOS users get the broadest stated combination of music sources and queue controls. Android users can still use Spotify Premium or SoundCloud Free, but should weigh the missing playback features. It is not the right choice for Windows users or anyone who needs complete Spotify Premium or Apple Music catalogues inside the app.

Pros and cons

• Unlimited Smart Mix and Smart Queue on Free: the main automated listening features have no stated plan cap.
• Track discovery joins the mix: recommendations can be added directly, rather than leaving discovery separate from playback.
• Broad iOS sources and controls: local music, CarPlay, queue editing and BPM or energy sorting support flexible listening.
• Free Highlight Mode is limited: regular use of shortened tracks calls for the paid plan.
• Catalogue and platform restrictions matter: Spotify Premium and Apple Music are partial, Windows is unsupported, and Android lacks several playback and mix-saving features.

Verdict

Choose Offtrack if you want continuous, automatically assembled listening and its supported services cover your music; the free plan makes Smart Mix and Smart Queue easy to try without a usage cap. Look elsewhere if you depend on a full Spotify Premium or Apple Music catalogue, need Windows support, or want Android playback controls and saved mixes that Offtrack does not provide.
