Kids first, then the party.
In the afternoon the little ones dance along; later the grown-ups have the floor to themselves. Until then one switch keeps out everything Apple marks as explicit — and if you enter a time, it lifts the block on its own.
One switch, one field.
With the switch on, your guests and the Auto DJ no longer get songs that Apple marks as explicit. Next to it sits exactly one field: the time until which the block applies. Leave it empty and it lasts for the whole event.
The time always means the next time the clock shows it. Enter “01:00” at 11 pm and you mean tomorrow morning, not 22 hours ago. Once that time comes, the switch goes back off — without you having to remember.
The clean version stays.
Explicit versions never show up in your guests' search. Many songs have a clean version alongside, and that one stays available — so whoever requests their song usually still gets it.
So nobody wonders why a result is missing, a short line above the list says how many songs are hidden and why. Anyone who tries a detour is told, politely, that explicit songs are blocked right now.
Switch the filter on mid-event and explicit requests already in the playlist go with it. Only the song that is playing gets to finish.
Because many parties have two halves.
The big birthday, the wedding, the club's summer party: at first there are children around, later there aren't. Without a filter you choose between letting people decide and keeping watch — and a host who checks every request on their phone is no longer a host but a bouncer.
A permanent block would be half a solution. The time makes it whole: you set once when the kids leave, and at that moment there is nothing left to remember.
Apple decides, not Juqed.
- The label comes from Apple — every song in the catalogue carries a content rating or none. Juqed reads it and blocks accordingly; there is no judgement of the lyrics of our own.
- It is not complete — some songs with crude lyrics carry no label and so get through. Whatever you notice, add to the blocklist as well: an artist, a title or a keyword is enough.
- You can play anything — in your own search explicit songs carry a small “E”, and you can add them on purpose. The block applies to guests and the Auto DJ, not to you.
- Your own music is outside it — files from your own folders in Juqed Web carry no reliable content rating. The filter does not apply to them.
“Explicit content”, in both versions.
In Juqed Go* the section sits in the settings, right above the blocklist. You set the time with the familiar wheel, and a tap on the cross beside it turns it back into “whole event”.
In Juqed Web the same section sits on the event page. In both versions the question mark beside the heading explains where the label comes from.
The filter is not tied to any paid tier — it is part of every event, including the free tier of Juqed Web.
* Coming to Juqed Go with an app update in November.
What people ask about the filter.
How does Juqed know whether a song is explicit?
From Apple. Every song in the Apple Music catalogue carries a content rating or none, and Juqed blocks what is marked explicit. There is no check of the lyrics of our own.
A song with crude lyrics got through anyway. Why?
Because Apple has not labelled it. The labels are not complete. Add the title or the artist to the blocklist as well, and it will no longer show up for your guests.
What happens at the time I set?
The block ends on its own, and explicit songs can be requested again from then on. Whatever was removed from the playlist earlier does not come back — whoever wants to hear it requests it again.
What happens to requests already in the playlist?
When you switch the filter on, explicit requests from guests and from the Auto DJ are removed. The song that is playing finishes, and whatever you added yourself stays.
Can I still play explicit songs myself?
Yes. In your search they carry an “E”, and you can add them on purpose. The block applies to guests and the Auto DJ.
Does the filter apply to my own music?
No. Files from your own folders in Juqed Web carry no reliable content rating, so they stay outside it.
Does the filter cost anything?
No. It belongs to no paid tier and is available in every event.
Parties with kids, no chaperone needed.
