FOR IPHONE · MADE WITH APPLE MUSIC · COMING SOON
Make someone a tape.
Pick the songs. Put them in order. Write a note in the margin. TapeHeart turns Apple Music into a mixtape made for one person — and gives them something to unwrap.
A playlist is for everyone. A tape is for someone.
When someone makes you a tape, every choice is a message: which song goes first, what they saved for Side B, what they wrote next to track two. TapeHeart brings that feeling back to music you already stream.
The night we got lost outside Hood River. You made us stop for pie.
HOW IT WORKS
Four steps. One person in mind.
- 01 · PICK
Choose the songs
Search Apple Music and add songs to Side A and Side B.
- 02 · ORDER
Put them in order
Every song is a stripe as long as the song. Drag to reorder. Each side holds 23, 30 or 45 minutes.
- 03 · DESIGN
Make it yours
Design the cassette, write a note on its card, and leave a note on any song.
- 04 · GIVE
Give it away
Send it with a link. They untie it, read your note, and press play.
THE RIBBON
Every song becomes a stripe.
Lay a tape out flat and you get a ribbon. TapeHeart draws yours as you make it, so you can see how a side flows, and how much room is left.
- Longer songs, longer stripes. Length is something you can see, not just a number.
- Side B is the back of the ribbon. Flip the tape over when Side A ends, just like the real thing.
- A side has an end. Pick 23, 30 or 45 minutes a side. Limits make every song count.
THE CASSETTE
Design the tape they'll keep.
Choose a shell, a label and a case, and write on its card. Your songs wind onto the reels in their own colors, so no two tapes look alike.
THE GIFT
The best part is opening it.
A TapeHeart tape doesn't just appear in a list. It arrives tied up in its own colors, with their name on it. You pull the ribbon, read the note, and the first song starts.
- 1 · IT ARRIVES
Tied up, just for them
"Josh made you a tape." The heart is knotted in the colors of the songs inside.
- 2 · THEY UNTIE IT
Pull the ribbon
One pull and the knot unravels into the tape's ribbon, song by song.
- 3 · THE NOTE, THEN SIDE A
Your words come first
The tape's card unfolds with your note and the tracklist. Then the music begins.
LISTENING
Listen the way it was made.
The player lights up in the color of each song. When you reach a song with a note, the note is right there with it.
- A1In order, start to finish. No shuffle.
- A2Notes appear at the songs they were written for.
- B1Flip to Side B when Side A ends.
APPLE MUSIC

TapeHeart connects to your Apple Music account. You build tapes from Apple Music's catalog and your own library, without leaving the app.
