Sonify

Music in every room.
Without the wait.

The fast, independent controller for Sonos. Made for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, and on Android, Mac, Windows and the web too.

iPhone and iPad need iOS 17 or later; every version needs a Sonos S2 system. Or try the demo household.

Sonify on a Mac: a sidebar of rooms, scenes and music services, and Home with what’s playing, afternoon picks and rooms.
Now Playing on Apple Watch: Right Thing by Dennis Ferrer, with previous, pause and next.
Home on iPhone: scenes, the next alarm, what’s playing in the Office, rooms and playlists.

Get the highlights.

Group the whole house in a tap. Tick the rooms, drag their volumes, or pick an area like Downstairs.

The rooms sheet on iPhone: Downstairs and Everywhere area chips, and a row for each room with its volume and a tick.

Rooms, volumes and music, saved as one button. Run a scene from Home, a widget, Siri or an NFC tag.

Let the house run itself. Music at 07:00 on weekdays, at sunset, or when the TV comes on. PRO

A new automation on iPhone: at 07:00 on weekdays, play daylist in the Kitchen and Office with shuffle and repeat.

Discover something new, on your speakers a swipe at a time. PRO

Discover on iPhone: a track by one of your artists, with Like, Full Song and Repeat beside the artwork.

Speak to any room. Hold, speak, let go. Your voice plays in the rooms you choose, then the music comes back. PRO

Intercom on iPhone: rooms ticked, a volume, Chime First, and a microphone to hold.

Your home theatre, laid out as it stands. Tap a speaker to hear it, take it out, or add one.

The Living Room’s speakers on iPhone: an Arc Ultra, a sub and two surrounds, drawn where they stand.

Let your guests pick the music. They scan a code and add songs to the queue. PRO

Party Jukebox on iPhone: what the Office is playing, what’s up next, and a note that the song was added.

On your wrist. What’s playing in any room, with play, pause, skip, and volume on the Digital Crown.

Now Playing on Apple Watch.

iPhone

Your whole system.
One hand.

Home

Everything in one place.

Favourites, playlists and what you played last, from every service you use, together on Home. Your scenes and the next alarm sit at the top.

Home on iPhone: scenes, the next alarm, what’s playing in the Office, rooms and playlists.

Rooms

The whole house in one tap.

Every row is a volume slider. Tick a room to join it, tap an area to group the lot, and press Sync to level them.

The rooms sheet over Home, with Kitchen, Living Room and Office ticked.

System

Every room at a glance.

What each room is playing and how loud, with play, pause and Pause All right there. The megaphone opens the intercom.

The System tab: a card for each room with what it plays and its volume.

Now Playing

Coloured by the music.

The screen takes on the colours of the artwork. Lossless and Atmos badges, time remaining, lyrics and a sleep timer are a tap away.

Now Playing on iPhone.

Queue

A queue that keeps its place.

What you add with Play Next sits above the album you were playing, which carries on afterwards. Every song shows when it will start.

The queue on iPhone, with the time each song starts.

Library

Every service, side by side.

Albums, artists, playlists and songs from Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, your local library and more, as shelves of covers. Pin anything to Home.

The Library on iPhone, filtered to albums, with a shelf for each service.

Scenes

Rooms, volume, music.
One tap.

A scene remembers which rooms play, how loud each one is, what to play and how to play it. Set it up once. After that it’s a button.

What’s in a scene

Rooms with their own volumes. An album, playlist or station. Shuffle, repeat, crossfade and a sleep timer. And, if you like, an EQ preset for every room in it.

Scroll, or pick a scene to see what it holds.

Tuned for

Bass, treble, loudness and height for each room, saved as presets you can apply again, by hand or from a scene.

  • Set up your home theatre. Tap a speaker to hear it or take it out, and tap + to add one.
  • Surround and sub levels, with ambient or full surround for music.
  • Night Sound and Speech Enhancement, TV autoplay, and a switch back to TV input.

NFC tags

Tap a tag.
Music starts.

Put an album, playlist, station, track or scene on an NFC tag. Hold your iPhone near it later and Sonify opens and plays it, in the rooms you chose.

  1. Choose Create NFC Tag from the menu of anything you can play, or from a scene.
  2. Pick the rooms and whether to shuffle, or leave it on your default NFC room.
  3. Hold your iPhone to the tag to write it. From then on, the tag starts the music.

On iPhone. Tags are not included. A scene’s tag works on the iPhone the scene was made on; music tags work on any iPhone with Sonify on the same system. Tags written by earlier versions of Sonify keep working.

Party Jukebox PRO

Scan a code.
Add a song.

Guests on your Wi‑Fi scan a code and add songs to the queue, without installing anything: an App Clip on iPhone, a web page on anything else.

  • Guests search for themselves, and their songs join Up Next.
  • One song at a time, with a short wait before the next, so nobody takes over.
Party Jukebox on iPhone: what the Office is playing and up next, with the note “Added. You can add another song in 14 s.”

Sonify Pro

Eight more things
your system can do.

Automations, Listening Stats, Remote Control, Lyrics, Discover, Intercom, Party Jukebox and the Apple TV Remote.

Automations

No tap needed.

Your system acts by itself, at the times you set. Sonify’s server runs it through your Sonos account, so nothing has to be open.

Start music, set volumes or run a scene at a time of day, at sunrise or sunset, when a room starts playing, when the TV comes on, and more.

Listening Stats

What you play most.

Your top tracks, artists and rooms, for any week, month or year, and what that says about how your home listens.

Remote Control

Away from home.

Sonify reaches your system from anywhere, through your Sonos account. See what’s playing at home, turn it down, or start it before you’re back.

  • LyricsLyrics for many songs, in time with the music. Tap a line to jump to it.
  • DiscoverNew music picked for you, on your speakers a swipe at a time.
  • IntercomSpeak to the rooms you choose, when you’re home.
  • Party JukeboxGuests on your Wi‑Fi scan a code to add songs to the queue.
  • Apple TV RemoteSwipe, tap and switch apps on the Apple TV from Now Playing.

Control Center

Play/Pause and Next Track for a room you choose, Pause All, and a button for any scene. On iOS 18 and later.

Ask Siri

  • “Play Kitchen Disco with Sonify”
  • “What is playing in Kitchen on Sonify”

Mac, Windows and the web

Big screen.
Same Sonify.

The same rooms, scenes and queue on your Mac or PC, with the queue beside what’s playing and every room in the sidebar.

Sonify on a computer: a sidebar of rooms, scenes and music services, Home in the middle, and the queue on the right.

Try it now with the demo household

And so much more.

Play On…

Send an album or playlist straight to the rooms you tick. They’re grouped when you press Play, not before.

Playlists you can edit

Create, rename, reorder and delete playlists, and add tracks to them, on services that allow it.

Add a service in Sonify

Add a music service, or another account for one, without leaving the app.

Party Mode

When friends have the phone, tapping a track adds it to the queue instead of cutting off what’s playing.

Alarms

Wake to a playlist or the Sonos chime, on the days and in the room you choose.

Volume buttons

Your iPhone’s volume buttons set the room’s level, and playback controls sit on the Lock Screen.

Line-in and sleep timer

Switch a group to any room’s line-in, and set a sleep timer from 15 minutes to two hours.

Home, your way

Reorder scenes, favourites, recently played and your pinned shelves.

Liquid Glass

Follows the system’s appearance or keeps the one you pick, and uses Liquid Glass on iOS 26.

Questions.

What do I need?

An iPhone or iPad on iOS 17 or later, and a Sonos S2 system on the same Wi-Fi network. Sonos S1 systems aren’t supported.

Control Center controls need iOS 18. The Liquid Glass design appears on iOS 26. Writing and reading NFC tags needs an iPhone.

Sonify is also on Android, on Mac (macOS 11 or later) and Windows, and in your browser. All of them need a Sonos S2 system.

Can I try it first?

Yes. Open the demo household in your browser: a made-up home with rooms, scenes, playlists and alarms. Nothing in it reaches a speaker, so press anything.

Which music services work?

The ones on your Sonos system, plus its local music library. You can add a service, or another account for one, right in Sonify.

Some features depend on the service: liking tracks, editing playlists and starting a radio are offered where the service supports them.

What’s in Sonify Pro?

Automations, Listening Stats, Remote Control, Lyrics, Discover, Intercom, Party Jukebox and the Apple TV Remote. Everything else on this page comes with the app.

Does Sonify replace the Sonos app?

For everyday listening, it can. You still need the Sonos app to set up new speakers.

Sonify can’t find my system. What now?

Check that your iPhone or iPad is on the same network as your speakers, and that Sonify is allowed to use the local network in iOS Settings.

If Sonify reports “Access Denied”, open the Sonos app, go to your profile, then Privacy & Security, and make sure Authentication is turned off. Then restart Sonify.

What does Sonify know about me?

There is no Sonify account, and the apps contain no advertising or analytics. Some features keep data on Sonify’s server, identified by your Sonos household rather than your name: the play queue, your listening history, synced scenes and playlists, and, if you switch them on, server automations.

The Privacy Policy explains what, why and for how long. To have it all deleted, email [email protected].

Is Sonify made by Sonos?

No. Sonify is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Sonos, Inc.
