Your guests request songs from their own phones and vote on them. Whatever has the most votes plays next. It plays wherever suits you – on an iPhone, in the browser or on a Mac.
Twelve people in a living room or two hundred in a marquee: the moment music plays, the argument about it starts. And in the end it lands on one person – you.
“Play that one …”, “Could you …”, “Now mine!” Between all the requests you never get to enjoy the party yourself.
Queueing up the next track, settling the order, keeping an eye on the device – instead of simply being there.
One wrong song, one wild skip, and the dance floor empties faster than it filled.
Juqed turns it around. Instead of one person managing the music while everyone else has to ask, each guest suggests for themselves – and everyone votes on it. The playlist sorts itself, by what the people in the room actually want to hear.
That is not one feature among many, it is the whole point. Everything else in Juqed exists so that this one principle still holds when it gets crowded, gets late, or someone overdoes it.
Scan a QR code, the browser opens, type in a name. No download, no account, no email address – on any smartphone.
Every request goes into the same list and anyone can vote for what others requested. Whatever is on top plays next.
Requests that have waited a long time move up by themselves. That way the quieter guests get their turn too.
When nothing is requested, the Auto DJ keeps playing – by genre, from your own playlists or in keeping with what has already played.
Waiting times and per-guest limits, plus a blocklist for anything that must not play at your event. Letting everyone join in is not losing control.
No advertising, no trackers, no accounts for your guests. What sits on our servers sits in Germany.
All three editions do the same thing. Guests request, guests vote, the Auto DJ catches the gaps, you set the frame. The only difference is the device that actually plays the music – and what you have to bring depends on it.
The iPhone or iPad plays.
The edition for being out and about. One device in the middle, share the QR code, done – in under a minute. Guests and host do not have to be on the same network; mobile data and Wi-Fi mixed is no problem. Playback runs through your Apple Music subscription.
Right when you are outdoors, have no reliable Wi-Fi, or simply want to start quickly.

The browser plays.
Nothing to install, neither for you nor for your guests – and independent of the system: on Windows, on Linux and of course on the Mac. You open an address, sign in with your email address and create an event. Playback runs through your Apple Music subscription, in the tab you leave open.
Right when the computer is running anyway, you do not want to install anything, or you have no Apple device at all.

The Mac plays.
For everyone with a library of their own: Juqed plays your files straight from the hard disk – MP3, M4A, AAC – optionally mixed with Apple Music. It needs no streaming subscription and no internet connection; everything runs on the local network. In return, your guests have to be on the same Wi-Fi.
Right when the Mac is by the speakers anyway, you curate your own music, and everyone is on site.
See Juqed for Mac →This is in all three editions – the differences lie elsewhere.
Are you outdoors, in a garden, in a marquee – without reliable Wi-Fi?
Juqed Go – it needs no shared network.
Do you want to install nothing, or is your computer not a Mac?
Juqed Web – it runs in any current browser, on Windows, Linux and macOS.
Do you have a music library of your own on disk?
Juqed for Mac – the only edition that plays your own files.
And if two of them fit: take the one whose device will be with you on the day anyway.
For the most common cases we have written down what matters – from the setup to the rules that have proven themselves.
A jukebox where the guests decide. They suggest songs and vote; whatever has the most votes plays next. It comes in three editions – for iPhone and iPad, for the browser and for the Mac.
No, in none of the three editions. They scan a QR code, the browser opens, they pick a name. No download, no account, no email address – on any smartphone, Android or iPhone.
Juqed Go and Juqed for Mac are free downloads from the App Store. Juqed Web has a free tier with every feature; unlimited starts at €2.49 per week – the details are under Pricing and refunds.
For Juqed Go and Juqed Web yes – there the music comes from your own account. For Juqed on the Mac only if you want to use Apple Music as a source; it plays your own files without one. Your guests never need a subscription of their own.
For Juqed on the Mac yes, everything runs on the local network – that is the price of working entirely without the internet. For Juqed Go and Juqed Web no: an internet connection is enough, whether Wi-Fi or mobile data.
Juqed Go on iPhone and iPad, Juqed on the Mac – and Juqed Web in any current browser, so on Windows, on Linux and on the Mac. Your guests always join through the browser on their phone, whatever the device.
Your guests create no account and hand over no email address – only the name they appear under in the list. No advertising, no trackers. What sits on our servers sits in Germany.
Pick the edition whose device will be there anyway. Everything else is the same.
