On-Site Radio builds a music log from your Apple Music library, mixes in sweepers, jingles, commercials and voice tracks, and plays it all with smooth, timed segues. Set it up once and let it run.
A playlist just plays songs. On-Site Radio runs your music the way a station does, with a format, station imaging and breaks, all timed for you.
Lay out a clock: a song, a sweeper, two songs, a jingle, a commercial break. Pick genres for each song slot and choose which clock plays each hour of the day.
Import sweepers, jingles and commercials from Files, or record voice tracks right on the device. The app evens out the volume so nothing jumps out.
The app builds the log from your library and plays it, starting each next item at the right moment. Skip, add a song or fire a jingle any time.
The tools a radio station uses, sized for iPad and iPhone, in portrait or landscape.
The Studio screen shows what's playing, how long until the next item starts, and the whole log ahead with start times. Big Stop and Skip buttons sit right where your thumb is.
Six big buttons for the sounds you reach for most. Tap a sweeper or jingle and it plays right away over the music, just like a jock in a real studio. Put a song there and it cuts in when you tap it.
Clocks are the recipe for each hour. They repeat until the hour is full, and you choose which clock runs at each hour of the day, so mornings can sound different from evenings.
For song files you own, On-Site Radio listens for the fade at the end and starts the next item as the song trails off, so they overlap like they do on the radio. Apple Music songs play back-to-back, with sweepers starting a few seconds before the end.
Record a quick hello, a welcome, a birthday shout-out or a store announcement with the device's microphone. It saves as a voice track you can drop into the log or onto the cart wall.
Have the kind of station you hear in major retailers: music picked for your customers, your own imaging, and your messages playing on schedule all day.
Name the station after your business and give it your logo and colors. Import produced spots and jingles from the Files app, or record an announcement at the counter. Clocks drop them between songs at the times you choose, every hour, without anyone pressing a button.
Example log. Store and song names are made up.
Check music licensing first. Playing music for customers usually needs a public performance license, and personal streaming subscriptions such as Apple Music are generally for personal use only. On-Site Radio doesn’t include any music licenses, so check what’s required where you are before you go on air.
Anywhere music plays, On-Site Radio can make it sound like a station that was built for that room.
Plan the music for the whole night, then put the phone down. Your clocks keep the energy where you want it, and the cart wall has the party jingle ready.
Shops, restaurants and salons can play their own announcements between songs: today's special, store hours, a sale, a holiday greeting. Commercial breaks play them on schedule, every hour.
Ever wanted to program your own station? Build clocks, import imaging, voice track your shows and watch the log roll, the same way the pros do it.
Fundraisers, car shows, tailgates and reunions get a real on-air sound, with sponsor thank-yous and reminders that play between songs.
Keep the tempo up with genre clocks for each hour, and put "two minutes left" or "switch stations" cues on the cart wall.
Background music that also tells visitors what they need to know: check-in steps, new services, office hours, or a friendly welcome.
Playing music in a business or at a public event may require a public performance license. Check what applies where you are.
On-Site Radio shows up across iPhone and iPad, so you can see what's playing and control it without opening the app.
A Now Playing player with album art, or your station logo for sweepers and jingles, plus Start, Stop and Skip.
On iPhones with the Dynamic Island, the station stays in view at the top of the screen while you use other apps.
"On Air" widgets show what's playing and what's up next, right on your Home Screen or Lock Screen.
Uses the songs already in your library: files you own and songs from Apple Music.
Song files and carts are leveled so nothing is too loud or too quiet.
The log is saved as it plays, so a restart doesn't lose your place.
Built for iPad and iPhone, either way up.
No. On-Site Radio is personal radio automation: it plays your station on your iPad or iPhone, or on the speakers it's connected to, for your home, your business or your hobby. It isn't meant to replace the automation systems that broadcast stations use.
iPad, iPhone and iPhone Duo. On-Site Radio is an iOS app, and works in portrait and landscape.
From the Music library on your device. Song files you own can overlap at segues. Songs from Apple Music need an Apple Music subscription and play back-to-back, because only Apple's player can play them.
You bring your own. Import audio files from the Files app (including iCloud Drive), or record voice tracks with the device's microphone.
Song files you own play without a connection. Apple Music songs stream, so they need one.
No. There's no account to create, and your music, audio and settings stay on your device. The privacy policy has the details.
