Your phone stays your phone.

Lock it, pocket it, carry on.

Juqed Go plays through the system player, not inside a window that has to stay open. Lock the device or switch to another app and playback continues unchanged — with your guests' requests and votes still arriving in the background.

Controls sit on the lock screen and the headphone buttons, just like the Apple Music app. You only lose sight of the queue until you switch back.

Because a tied-up device costs you.

In reviews of competing apps this is the single most requested feature, and the reasoning comes in threes every time: the device is tied up, it gets hot, and the battery is gone before midnight. Hand your phone over to the music and you hand over the camera, the messages and the telephone with it.

Which is why with Juqed Go the iPhone is not pinned to the middle of the table as the stereo. It can go back in your pocket the moment your guests are in.

In your pocket means: the code lives elsewhere.

A pocketed phone shows no QR code. So that this is not a step backwards, background playback belongs together with access: screen mode keeps the code on a second display, and the guest link can go out in advance.

After that you only need the device when you want to change something yourself.

In Juqed Go — and what holds for Juqed Web.

Background playback is part of Juqed Go and is nothing you have to switch on; it is simply there.

With Juqed Web it works differently, and that is worth saying: there the music plays in the browser tab where you opened the player. The tab has to stay open and the computer awake. In exchange, Juqed Web is the only route when no Apple device is to handle playback.
