Offtrack

Offtrack is an AI DJ app that shortens songs and mixes them with transitions. Its Smart Mix feature trims tracks, creates transitions, and queues songs based on how they fit together.

Offtrack can also recommend tracks that match a listener's taste and add them to a mix. On iOS, supported sources include Spotify Premium, Apple Music, TIDAL, SoundCloud Free, a local music library, and CarPlay; catalogue coverage varies, with partial catalogues for Spotify Premium and Apple Music, full access for TIDAL, and SoundCloud Go+ tracks unavailable. The Android app supports Spotify Premium and SoundCloud Free. Its FAQ lists offline playback, EQ, saved transition points, and saved mix order as not yet available on Android. iOS users can edit queues, save mixes as playlists, sort tracks by BPM or energy, and filter explicit songs. Offtrack is available for Android, iOS, and macOS, but not Windows. The free plan includes unlimited Smart Mix and Smart Queue, with limited Highlight Mode plays. Pro is $4.99 a month and includes unlimited Highlight Mode plays.

Offtrack combines automated mixing, song highlights, and track discovery, with some queue and playlist controls on iOS. Its supported services and Android features vary, and unlimited Highlight Mode plays require Pro at $4.99 a month.

Overview

Smart Mix shortens songs, creates seamless transitions, and queues tracks according to how well they fit together. Offtrack can also recommend tracks that match a listener’s taste and add them to a mix.

Key features

Smart Mix and highlights

Smart Mix and Smart Queue are unlimited on both plans. Highlight Mode trims songs to their highlights, and iOS users can adjust song length in Highlight Preferences. The free plan limits Highlight Mode plays, so it works for trying the feature but not for using shortened tracks without restraint. Pro removes that limit.

Services and playback controls

On iOS, Offtrack supports Spotify Premium, Apple Music, TIDAL, SoundCloud Free, a local music library, and CarPlay. The catalogue differs by service: Spotify Premium and Apple Music provide partial catalogues, while TIDAL provides its full catalogue. SoundCloud Go+ tracks are unavailable.

iOS users can edit the queue, save a mix as a playlist, sort tracks by BPM or energy, and filter explicit songs. Those controls make it easier to shape a session after Smart Mix has assembled it. Android supports Spotify Premium and SoundCloud Free, but lacks offline playback, EQ, saved transition points, and saved mix order. Its narrower service support and missing tools make it less suitable for listeners who want to refine or preserve a mix.

Pricing

Offtrack Free costs nothing. It includes unlimited Smart Mix and Smart Queue, limited Highlight Mode plays, and discovery of up to 300% new songs. This is the sensible starting plan if automated mixing is the priority and highlights are an occasional extra.

Offtrack Pro costs $4.99 a month, billed $4.99/month. It keeps the unlimited mixing, queue, and discovery allowances while adding unlimited Highlight Mode plays. Choose it if you expect to use shortened songs regularly; otherwise, Free retains the core mixing features. A free trial is available.

Platforms

Offtrack is available on Android, iOS, and macOS. Its FAQ lists compatibility with MacBooks introduced from 2020 onward; it is not available on Windows. Service support and playback features differ between iOS and Android, so platform matters when choosing the app.

Who it's for

Offtrack suits listeners who want an automatically assembled mix, enjoy highlights, and use a supported service—especially iOS users who want queue editing and playlist saving. Android users should be comfortable with a shorter service list and without offline playback, EQ, saved transition points, or saved mix order. Those who need Windows support should look elsewhere.

Verdict

Choose Offtrack if you want a listening-first AI DJ that handles transitions and track selection, with unlimited Smart Mix and Smart Queue even on Free. Its clearest advantage is the richer iOS queue and playback control set; its main drawbacks are the limited free highlights, uneven service catalogues, and a more constrained Android app. Listeners who need broader platform support or more complete Android playback tools should look elsewhere.
