For iPhone, browser and Mac

The playlist belongs to everyone.

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.

See the three routes How it works

No app for your guests
The majority decides
The music never stops

Juqed on three devices side by side: a MacBook running Juqed for Mac on the left, an iPhone running Juqed Go with the playlist of guest requests in the middle, and a laptop running Juqed Web in the browser on the right

Every host knows this

Great people. The same old music problems.

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.

The flood of requests

“Play that one …”, “Could you …”, “Now mine!” Between all the requests you never get to enjoy the party yourself.

Nobody wants to guard the speakers

Queueing up the next track, settling the order, keeping an eye on the device – instead of simply being there.

The mood turns

One wrong song, one wild skip, and the dance floor empties faster than it filled.

The idea

The loudest voice does not decide. The majority does.

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. Why that beats a single DJ.

Your guests need nothing

Scan a QR code, the browser opens, type in a name. No download, no account, no cost – on any smartphone.

The majority decides

Every request goes into the same list and anyone can vote for what others requested. Whatever is on top plays next.

Waiting pays off

Requests that have waited a long time move up by themselves. That way the quieter guests get their turn too.

The music never stops

When nothing is requested, the Auto DJ keeps playing – by genre, from your own playlists or in keeping with what has already played.

You keep the frame

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.

Frugal with data

No advertising, no trackers, no accounts for your guests. What sits on our servers sits in Germany.

One principle, three routes

The only question is: what plays the music?

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.

iPhone & iPad

Juqed Go

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 – in the background, so your phone stays usable.

Right when you are outdoors, have no reliable Wi-Fi, or simply want to start quickly.

Browser

Juqed Web

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 or from folders on your own computer, 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.

macOS

Juqed

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.

The shared DNA

Whichever one you pick.

This is in all three editions – the differences lie elsewhere.

Guests without an app or an account
Voting decides the order
Auto DJ as a safety net
Waiting times and per-guest limits
Blocklist for artists and terms
Joining by QR code, link or event code
Everything in real time on every device
German and English

Decided in a minute

Three questions, and you know.

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 Web – share folders from your computer and your guests request from them just like Apple Music. If it has to run with no internet at all: Juqed for Mac.

And if two of them fit: take the one whose device will be with you on the day anyway.

Occasions

Anywhere more than one person wants a say.

For the most common cases we have written down what matters – from the setup to the rules that have proven themselves.

Frequently asked

What hosts want to know beforehand.

What is Juqed?

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.

How do guests pick the music?

You start an event and your device shows a QR code. Guests scan it with their phone camera, the browser opens – no download, no account. There they search for songs and vote on everyone else's suggestions. Whatever has the most votes plays next.

Do my guests need an app?

No, in none of the three editions. They scan a QR code, the browser opens, they pick a name. No download, no account, no cost – on any smartphone, Android or iPhone.

Can I try it first?

Yes, with nothing in the way. Juqed Go and Juqed for Mac start without a sign-up – open the app, start an event. Juqed Web only needs your email address; payment details come in when the free tier is no longer enough. None of it can trip you up when your event starts.

What does Juqed cost?

You get Juqed Go and Juqed for Mac from the App Store – current prices are shown there. Juqed Go is a one-time purchase: pay once, then host as many events as you like, no subscription needed. Juqed Web has a free tier with every feature; unlimited starts at €3.99 per week – the details are under Pricing and refunds.

Do I need an Apple Music subscription?

For Juqed Go yes – there the music comes from your own account. For Juqed Web only for the Apple Music catalogue; share your own folders instead and the event runs without a subscription. Same for Juqed on the Mac: only if you want Apple Music as a source. Your guests never need a subscription of their own.

Does everyone have to be on the same Wi-Fi?

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.

Which devices does Juqed run on?

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.

What happens to my data?

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.

Automatic Party Music That Fits the Room
