Today's song · 8 guesses · New song every midnight

How to play

  1. Press Tune in. A song is playing somewhere under the radio static.
  2. Guess any song. Sonik compares how the two songs actually sound and tells you how close you are.
  3. The closer you get, the clearer the radio gets, until you can hear the song for yourself.
  4. You have 8 guesses, and the DJ drops a clue every two. There's a new song every midnight.

What is Sonik?

Sonik is a music discovery app for iPhone. It listens to the audio of each song, so it can find music that sounds like what you love, even from artists you've never heard of. The daily mystery song runs on that same sound matching. Get Sonik on the App Store or read more about the app.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. There's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install.

How does it know how close a song sounds?

An audio AI model listens to a 30-second preview of each song and turns it into a fingerprint of its sound. Songs with similar fingerprints sound alike. It doesn't use charts, genres or what other people played.

When is the new song?

Every midnight, your time. Everyone gets the same song.

Is this like Heardle or Wordle?

It's a daily game you can share with friends like those. The difference is that you find the song by how it sounds: every guess tells you how close you are, and the radio gets clearer as you get warmer.
