1
Download & Open

Get Tremor from the App Store. Search "Tremor DJ" or tap the download link on our website.

Once installed, tap the app icon to launch.

Requirements

iOS 17 or later. iPhone or iPad. A14 chip or newer recommended for AI features.

2
Allow Music Access

Tremor will ask permission to access your music library. Tap "Allow" so you can browse and load your songs.

A second prompt may ask for microphone access — this is optional (used for Shazam song identification). You can skip it for now.

3
Load a Track

You'll see two decks (Deck A and Deck B). Each deck is a virtual turntable.

1
Tap the music note button on Deck A (in the transport bar)
2
Your music library opens. Tap any song to load it.
3
Watch the Play button turn yellow with a loading animation while the track loads.
4
When ready, Play flashes green and CUE flashes orange. The track is ready to play.
BPM Detection

You can play the track as soon as the buttons flash — you don't need to wait for BPM. BPM detection runs in the background and may take a moment on first load. Features like SYNC won't work until BPM is ready, but playback works immediately.

No music?

Switch to the Files tab in the library to import audio from the Files app, iCloud, or external storage.
