Get this party started
PartyЯ turns your Apple TV into the jukebox of your party, with all your sources in one queue. Guests scan the QR code and request a song, you call the shots on your iPhone.
You and your guests search all sources at once. The connection to YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify is part of Pro; you use your own subscriptions to those services.
You have an Apple TV under the television. PartyЯ plays your own music videos on it, in picture and sound. With Pro, PartyЯ also works with YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify; you use your own subscriptions to those services. Your guests pick songs with their phones and you call the shots.
apps your guests need to install
Apple TV is all you need to get started
requests fit in the queue
smooth transition (crossfade) between your own clips, at most
Put PartyЯ Beheer on your iPhone, choose how you play and press Start. Your guests scan the QR code and can make requests straight away.
When you start, PartyЯ Beheer asks: how do you play? With the PartyЯ app on the Apple TV, which plays your own clips from Plex, Jellyfin or Emby itself; that is how you play with Easy. With Pro you can also use your iPhone or iPad as a remote, which has the Apple TV open the right app for each song, or play via Home Assistant.
Choose Plex, Jellyfin or Emby. For Plex, enter the code from the TV at plex.tv/link. With Jellyfin, use Quick Connect or your username and password; with Emby, sign in with your username and password. Then choose the library containing your clips.
Press Start. The QR code appears in the corner of the screen. If nobody requests anything, PartyЯ picks from your chosen party playlist or favourites without immediately repeating a song that just played.
Requests come first. With PartyЯ Beheer, you skip a song, remove it from the queue, move it to play next or pause the party.
In the phone mode of Pro, songs from YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify and your own clips sit together in one queue and one playlist. You use your own subscriptions to those services. PartyЯ switches app by itself for each song: from YouTube to Apple Music, then to Spotify, then to your own clip. You and your guests don’t have to switch anything.
One search field for all connected sources. Filter by source (All, Own clips, Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube) and by Video, Audio or Both. Guests on the guest page also search all sources that are switched on.
If a song has no clip, it simply plays as music on the Apple TV. Even when PartyЯ picks by itself, you decide: video, audio or both.
Consecutive Apple Music songs run into each other without a gap. Between two of your own clips there’s a smooth transition. PartyЯ follows what the Apple TV reports and never cuts a song short.
Picture and sound come from the Apple TV, whichever app is playing. Keep PartyЯ Beheer open during the party; your phone’s screen stays on.
Guests point their phone’s camera at the QR code and land on the guest page. It runs in your home, on your own Wi-Fi. With Pro monthly, guests can also request over mobile data. No account, no download.
When the PartyЯ app plays on the Apple TV, the title, who requested the song and what’s up next appear at the bottom. The QR code stays in the corner, so anyone who arrives later can join in straight away.
With PartyЯ Beheer on your iPhone or iPad you steer the party without walking over to the TV. The app finds the Apple TV on your network by itself; you pair using the code the TV shows.
PartyЯ Beheer has an Apple Watch app. It controls the party through your iPhone. Handy when you’re on the dance floor yourself.
With Easy you play your own clips from Plex, Jellyfin or Emby on one Apple TV. Everything for the party is included: the queue, the guest page with QR code, the host app on your iPhone, and PartyЯ picks a song itself when nobody requests anything. You buy Easy once.
Requests go first. Move a song to the top, up or down, or remove it. Skip to the next song, pause, rewind or fast-forward with the host app on your iPhone.
Make lists of your own clips for every kind of party and choose a default party list. PartyЯ picks from it when nobody requests anything. You can also save what was played as a list. Bring in a list from Spotify or Apple Music with an export file, or paste the titles: PartyЯ then looks up those songs in your own library. You can pull in a Plex playlist directly.
Star a clip or a whole list, and let PartyЯ pick from them.
One song flows into the next, in picture and sound, from off up to twelve seconds. This works between your own clips.
Songs that are much louder than the rest are turned down a little automatically. So you don’t have to keep reaching for the volume. For your own clips.
Long intro, or an ending that goes on and on? Press Start here or End here, and PartyЯ remembers it. For your own clips.
Block a clip with poor picture or sound in one tap. It won’t play again and disappears from the list for guests. For your own clips.
Everything in Easy, plus the connection to your external music apps and to Home Assistant. You use your own subscriptions to those services. With multi-play, one party plays on several Apple TVs at once. At home, in the pub or at the club. Buy Pro once, for life. Or take Pro monthly, with the first 14 days free.
PartyЯ finds songs on YouTube and plays them in the YouTube app on your Apple TV. You use your own YouTube key, free from Google; the app explains step by step how. With your own YouTube Premium, no ads.
Music videos and regular songs play in the Music app on your Apple TV. Consecutive songs run into each other without a gap. You use your own Apple Music subscription.
Songs play in the Spotify app on your Apple TV: the music video if Spotify has one, otherwise the song as music. You use your own Spotify Premium and connect your own Spotify app once.
Play your own clips through Infuse, in phone mode or via Home Assistant. With Music Assistant in Home Assistant you also get music from TIDAL, Deezer and Qobuz: sound only, to the Apple TV, with your own subscription.
Your iPhone or iPad keeps the queue, with songs from all sources mixed together, and has the Apple TV open the right app for each song: the PartyЯ app for your own clips, Infuse, YouTube, the Music app or Spotify. A party with only YouTube, Apple Music and/or Spotify works without Plex. Keep PartyЯ Beheer open; the screen stays on.
Put songs from YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify, TIDAL and your own clips together in one list. Playing a song you want to keep? Tap + in the player and add it to an existing or a new list. You can star songs from any source. Lists and favourites with your own clips are already in Easy.
One party plays on several Apple TVs at once: one TV leads, the others follow. You set a delay per TV so they stay in sync. Choose per TV: picture and sound, or picture only. Playlists, favourites and blocks are the same on every Apple TV, via your own iCloud.
Play and control the party via Home Assistant. The integration is free to install but only works with Pro. More on that below.
Got Home Assistant? With Pro, PartyЯ runs in it too. The integration is free to install but only works with Pro: pair the host app on your iPhone, and Home Assistant knows you have Pro.
You install the PartyЯ integration for Home Assistant for free, but it only works with Pro. Once you pair PartyЯ Beheer, the integration knows you have Pro and Home Assistant controls your Apple TVs. With Easy you play with the PartyЯ app on one Apple TV, with your own clips from Plex, Jellyfin or Emby.
Via Home Assistant you play your own clips with Infuse, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify, the last one through Home Assistant’s Spotify integration. With Music Assistant you also get music from TIDAL, Deezer and Qobuz: sound only, to the Apple TV. To search YouTube you need your own YouTube key, free from Google; the instructions are included. You use your own subscriptions to those services.
Decide which Apple TV the party plays on: in Home Assistant itself, or in the host app. With multi-play the party plays on several Apple TVs at once. A change applies from the next song.
Guests make requests through the same guest page, on your own Wi-Fi and, with Pro monthly, over mobile data too. The code to pair the host app appears in Home Assistant under notifications.
Home Assistant supports favourites and automatically choosing from your favourites. What it cannot do: smooth transitions, create or import playlists, change the waiting time for guests, block clips or trim their start or end. Those features work with the PartyЯ app on the Apple TV; playlists and smooth transitions between your own clips also work in phone mode.
PartyЯ works with the apps you already have. Below you can see, per app, which way of playing it works with: in phone mode, with the PartyЯ app on the Apple TV, or via Home Assistant. With Easy you play your own clips from Plex, Jellyfin or Emby with the PartyЯ app on the Apple TV. Phone mode, Home Assistant and the connection to the other apps are part of Pro; you use your own subscriptions to those services.
Plays in the YouTube app on your Apple TV, in phone mode or via Home Assistant. You need your own YouTube key, free from Google. With YouTube Premium there are no ads; without Premium, YouTube’s ads simply play and PartyЯ waits until the song has really finished.
Music videos and regular songs, in the Music app on your Apple TV, in phone mode or via Home Assistant. You need an Apple Music subscription.
Plays in the Spotify app on your Apple TV: the music video if Spotify has one, otherwise the song as music. You need Spotify Premium. In phone mode you connect your own Spotify app once, with a step-by-step guide in PartyЯ Beheer; Spotify requires this. In Home Assistant it runs through Home Assistant’s own Spotify integration.
Your own music videos from a media server on your computer or NAS. The PartyЯ app on the Apple TV plays them itself, including from phone mode. Link Plex with the code at plex.tv/link; Jellyfin with Quick Connect or your sign-in details; Emby with your sign-in details.

An Apple TV, an iPhone or iPad with PartyЯ Beheer, and at least one source. With Easy, that’s your own music videos in Plex, Jellyfin or Emby. With Pro you also connect your external music apps, such as YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify, with your own subscriptions: for YouTube your own YouTube key, free from Google; for Apple Music an Apple Music subscription, and for Spotify Spotify Premium. For your own clips, your media server runs on a computer or NAS at home; it needs to be on during the party. Your guests only need their own phone.
Easy is the whole party with your own clips from Plex, Jellyfin or Emby, played by the PartyЯ app on one Apple TV: the queue, the guest page with QR code, the host app, playlists and favourites, the smooth transition, volume levelling, start and end per song, and blocking. Pro is everything in Easy, plus the connection to your external music apps and to Home Assistant, and multi-play on several Apple TVs. You use your own subscriptions to those services. With Pro monthly, guests can also scan the QR code without Wi-Fi.
No. For your own clips you can use Plex, Jellyfin or Emby with the PartyЯ app on the Apple TV; Easy already does that. If you use Pro to connect your external music apps, such as YouTube, Apple Music or Spotify, a party can also run without your own media server, in phone mode or via Home Assistant. You then use your own subscriptions to those services. Infuse plays your own clips in phone mode and via Home Assistant; Jellyfin and Emby play in phone mode through the PartyЯ app.
Yes, with the YouTube connection in Pro: in phone mode or via Home Assistant. The YouTube app on your Apple TV plays the song. You use your own YouTube key: a free code you request from Google yourself. The app explains step by step how. With YouTube Premium you see no ads. Without Premium, YouTube’s ads simply play, and PartyЯ waits until the song has really finished.
Yes. With Pro, PartyЯ works with the Music app on your Apple TV, in phone mode or via Home Assistant. You use your own Apple Music subscription. The Music app plays music videos and regular songs. In phone mode, consecutive Apple Music songs run into each other without a gap.
Yes. With Pro, PartyЯ works with the Spotify app on your Apple TV, in phone mode or via Home Assistant. You use your own Spotify Premium. In phone mode you connect your own Spotify app once, with a step-by-step guide in PartyЯ Beheer; Spotify requires this. In Home Assistant it runs through Home Assistant’s own Spotify integration. PartyЯ plays the music video if Spotify has one, otherwise the song as music. You can also bring in a Spotify playlist with Easy, using an export file: PartyЯ then looks up those songs in your own library.
Yes, with Pro. The PartyЯ integration for Home Assistant is free to install but only works with Pro: pair PartyЯ Beheer on your iPhone, and the integration knows you have Pro. With Easy, PartyЯ works with the PartyЯ app on one Apple TV, with your own clips from Plex, Jellyfin or Emby.
Yes, in the phone mode of Pro, with your own subscriptions. There is one queue and one playlist, with songs from all sources mixed together, your own clips included.

Yes, with the Pro subscription (Pro monthly): guests can then scan the QR code without Wi-Fi too, over mobile data. With Easy and Pro for life, they need to be on the same Wi-Fi network as the Apple TV.
Yes, with Pro. With multi-play the same party plays on several Apple TVs at once: one TV leads, the others follow. You set a delay per TV so they stay in sync. Per TV you also choose picture and sound, or picture only, for example when two rooms share one sound system. This works in phone mode and with the Home Assistant integration. Playlists, favourites and blocks are the same on every Apple TV with the same Apple ID.
If you play with the PartyЯ app on the Apple TV, it restores the current song and queue when it restarts within fifteen minutes. If it takes longer, you start the party again. In phone mode or Home Assistant, the external player may keep playing, but PartyЯ first checks what is happening on the TV after a restart and may ask you to resume the party. Your settings are kept.
