quietly beautiful.
illmus is a private music player for the songs you already own. Upload a file, we match it against Genius, pull the lyrics, and hand you a Spotify-grade listening experience. No ads. No trackers. No sign-in walls except your own.
The player
Designed like the black on your wrist.
Big cover art. Bold English typography. Soft-grey type over deep black. Live lyrics that scroll under your song. When the track ends, illmus takes you back to your library — no clutter.
How it works
From 9999999.mp3 to Beauty and a Beat.
Google, Apple, or email + password. Add a passkey in one tap after your first sign-in.
Drop any .mp3 / .m4a / .wav into your library — it's encrypted at rest.
We search Genius, you confirm the artist and title, we auto-rename the file.
Full lyrics stream under the artwork. When it ends, you're back to your library.
