Simple by choice

Find your setting.
Let it unfold.

  1. Choose an Experience

    Pick a scene, then choose from its available themes and durations. Picture and ambient sound follow the Experience’s timeline.

  2. Listen your way

    Stay with the scene’s sound, or connect Apple Music and choose your own songs or playlists on the playback device.

  3. Bring in the lights

    Add compatible Philips Hue room lights if you have them. A Hue Bridge and local-network access are needed for light control.

The big screen, on its own

Start on Apple TV.
Keep your phone optional.

Apple TV plays picture and sound independently. Link your iPhone when you want shared controls for the same room.

No Hue setup? Start with picture and sound. Lights are an optional part of the Experience, not a requirement for playback.

Explore support

Seven free. More with Premium.

A free place to begin.
More to discover.

The original seven Experiences stay free. When Premium is offered, the app shows Apple’s current local price, billing period and any eligible annual trial before you buy.

The free collection

The original seven Experiences stay free, including Fireplace Night, Warm Library and Seaside Sunset.

Experience OS Premium

Monthly or annual access to the expanded collection. Each playback device verifies access through its own Apple Account; linking a room does not transfer a subscription.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled. Restore purchases or manage your subscription from Settings. Premium downloads need valid access to start a new session. Subscription terms.

Apple Music is separate. Connecting or using Apple Music does not require Experience OS Premium. Apple Music needs its own access and permission on the device playing your music.

A few useful details

Before you settle in.

Can I use it without smart lights?

Yes. Scene picture and sound work without Hue. Compatible lights and a Hue Bridge are only needed when you choose to add room lighting.

Does it match my lights to any film or game?

Experience OS lights follow the authored scene and theme. It does not analyse other apps, films or games to mirror their colours.

Do I need Apple Music?

No. Experiences have their own sound. Apple Music is an optional, separate service for listening to your own music selection. Its availability depends on your Apple Account and playback device.

Can downloaded scenes play offline?

Fireplace Night is included with the app. Other scenes download as verified packages. After installation, their picture and sound can play offline, with valid Premium access where required. Shared controls, downloads and Apple Music may still need a connection.

Are all the sounds and pictures recorded?

No. The collection combines licensed footage and recordings with original procedural sound compositions. Quiet Courtyard is AI-generated artwork with authored water animation. Sources and licence credits are visible in the app; generated art is not presented as human footage.

What happens when I delete a shared profile?

In the updated app and service, the profile controls let you request deletion for the whole shared profile and its linked devices. Playback and equipment restoration must finish first. Confirmed deletion removes the profile’s live service data and revokes device access; it does not cancel subscriptions or erase downloads, every local recovery record, backups or earlier diagnostics. Read the Privacy Policy for retained recovery data and other limits. A connection failure is not proof of deletion.

Can I download it from the App Store now?

Not yet. The iPhone and Apple TV apps are in pre-release TestFlight testing. There is no public App Store release or open beta sign-up at present.
