Music Visualizer, or the full Theatrium?

  • Theatrium Music Visualizer is the fun part on its own: the visuals, plus an optional light show through Apple Home.
  • Theatrium is the full app: a smart-home dashboard with dozens of cards, and it works with Home Assistant too. Pro already includes these music features.
  • Want the dashboard as well? See Theatrium for Apple TV.
  • To see how the music visualizer works inside Theatrium, read the Apple TV music visualizer page.

Play music. Watch it come alive.

Theatrium Music Visualizer fills your TV with visuals that move to your music. 💡 Have Apple Home connected lights? They take on the colors on screen too. No connected lights? The visuals are the whole show. Pick a look, hit play, and enjoy.

Full-screen visuals

Your album art fills the screen, then a full-screen visual takes over and moves in time with the track. Over thirty looks, from liquid album art to a spinning mirrorball.

Lights that match, if you want them

Light sync is optional. If you have Apple Home connected lights, they take two colors from the screen, Main and Accent, and hold them through the track, so the room glows in the colors of whatever’s playing. Great for a party, easy on a quiet night.

Your music

Works with Apple Music, Last.fm, Sonos and Spotify. Apple Music needs no setup: it shows whatever is playing, and the visuals and lights follow along. For Spotify, pick Theatrium Visualizer in Spotify’s device list (Premium needed).

Inside the app

Big, simple, and made for the TV. Everything is a click away on the remote.

How the lights follow your music

💡 Optional, and only if you have Apple Home connected lights. Two colors, straight off the screen: one for your main lights, one for your lamps. One Apple TV can light the whole room.

  3. 3Your roomThe two colors go straight from the Apple TV to your Apple Home lights. No server in between.

Theatrium Music Visualizer reads whatever you are playing and turns it into a scene and two room colors, straight from your Apple TV.

Every look reacts to the music, and lots of them are built around your own album art. Keep the ones you love, switch off the rest.
