The homepage gives you two different ways to get moving, plus a couple of extra tools tucked into the corners. Here’s what everything on it actually does.

Pills vs. cards

The six rounded pills near the top (Follow, Check, Change, Track, Illuminate, Celebrate) are shortcuts — each one jumps straight to a specific action, no browsing required. The mood cards below them work differently: picking one doesn’t start music immediately, it reveals a second step where you choose how you want to experience that mood — Immersive, Dancer, Performer, Visualizer, Mixer, or Playlist. Twelve mood cards — one for every mood on the platform.

• Follow — jumps down to the mood cards.
• Check — opens Mood Discovery: browse all 12 moods laid out as a grid, each showing a live track count, so you can see what’s got plenty of tracks before you pick.
• Change — starts an ISO Journey.
• Track — opens the song mood look-up tool (see below).
• Illuminate — takes you to lighting setup.
• Celebrate — starts an Autonomous DJ session.

The Discovery panel

Sitting right between the pills and the mood cards is Discovery — a purple bar you tap to open. It’s a different tool from everything around it: instead of starting from a mood, Discovery is for when you already have something specific in mind. Tap it open and you can search for an exact track by name, sort what’s showing by popular, trending, or featured, or narrow the list further by genre, version, or artist. Nothing here requires an account, and it’s a completely separate tool from Mood Discovery (the “Check” pill above) — Discovery searches and filters; Mood Discovery browses by mood.

Check any song’s mood

The Track pill opens “Track your vibe” — a simple tool for checking the mood of a song you already know, rather than discovering something new. Type in a song title and artist, and it looks the track up in the VIBESXS catalogue. If it finds a match (exact or close), you’ll see the VIBESXS mood it’s tagged with, a one-line vibe descriptor, and — when available — direct links out to that track on Spotify or Deezer. No account needed.

The Vibe Oracle

Look for the small glowing orb in the bottom-right corner — that’s the Vibe Oracle, a chat assistant available across most of the platform. Ask it about the mood system, ISO Journey, lighting, DJ features, or (once you’re logged in) your own listening stats, and it can hand you a direct link to the app it just talked about. No account needed to use it.

Nine listening and creation apps, plus an always-on radio stream — each with its own icon, shown consistently in menus and shortcuts across the platform (Mood Discovery and Immersive Player currently share the same one). Here’s what each one actually feels like to use, and when to reach for it.

Autonomous DJ (A-DJ) ꩜

Choose this when you want a real DJ set running behind you — a party, a workout, a work session — without touching a single control. Pick where you’re walking in — easing in low-key, or ready to go straight to peak energy — and how you want the set to build, and Autonomous DJ takes it from there: mixing one track into the next automatically, with genuine crossfades and the occasional live FX flourish, for as long as you want to listen. You can still skip a track or nudge the energy up or down at any time.

The glowing orb on screen isn’t just decoration — it pulses brighter with the track’s real energy, so you can read the room at a glance. And tucked in the corner of the player is a small glyph that opens a live session panel: how far through the session you are, time remaining on the current track, what’s up next, your recent track history, and session controls, all in one tap.

Want to share your set with someone else, live? See Virtual Rooms below for Vibe Rooms.

Start an Autonomous DJ session →

ISO Journey ༄

Choose this when you want your whole session to go somewhere — building steadily to a peak, or winding all the way down — rather than just picking one song and hoping the next one fits. A short setup checks in on where you’re starting from, where you want to end up, how much time you have, and any preferences, then hands you a full journey built to match, moving through it one track at a time.

Like Autonomous DJ, ISO Journey has its own glyph on screen showing real-time session data — which stage of your journey you’re on and how many remain, which track you’re on within that stage, and controls to save, share, or favourite the journey as it plays.

Start an ISO Journey →

Mood DJ Mixer 🎛️

Choose this when you want real hands-on control — cueing tracks, beatmatching, and crossfading between two decks yourself, the way a real DJ would. It’s the app to reach for when Autonomous DJ feels too hands-off and you’d rather be the one doing the mixing. No account required — jump straight in.

Open Mood DJ Mixer →

Mood Dancer 🕺

Choose this when you want to move. A crowd of on-screen dancers performs choreography built around your chosen mood’s energy, including solo spotlight moments — one dancer takes centre stage for a signature move, then repeats it a second time in slow motion so you can actually catch the detail, before the group comes back together and keeps going. If you’re able to, you’re welcome to dance along — it’s entirely optional, and just as good to watch.

Open Mood Dancer →

Mood Performer 🎭

Choose this when you want to sing along, not just listen. An on-screen performer sings in time with the track while the lyrics scroll along with them, so you can follow — or join in — line by line, note by note. Built for the songs that make you want to perform them yourself, not just play them in the background.

Open Mood Performer →

Mood Artwork 🎨

Choose this when you want to watch instead of just listen. Generative visuals — pulsing, shifting rings of colour and light — respond directly to the track’s real energy and beat as it plays, so what you see on screen isn’t decoration layered over the music, it’s a direct read of what’s actually happening in it. A screen worth watching on its own.

Open Mood Artwork →

Playlist Builder 🎧

Choose this when you already know what you want and would rather curate it yourself than let the platform choose for you. Build a playlist track by track and save it for later.

Building it with someone else instead of solo? See Virtual Rooms below for Shared Queues.

Open Playlist Builder → — browse and preview freely with no account; you’ll only need to sign in when you want to save a playlist for later.

Mood Discovery 🎵

Choose this when you’re not sure what mood you’re in yet. Browse all 12 moods laid out as a grid — each one shows a live track count, so you can see what’s got plenty to offer before you commit. Tap a mood and you’re straight into listening. (Looking for the search-by-name, sort-and-filter tool instead? That’s the Discovery panel on the homepage, covered above — a different tool for a different job.)

Open Mood Discovery →

Immersive Player 💧

Choose this when you just want music, right now, no decisions. Pick a mood and go — no session setup, no preferences, just a focused single-mood player. This is where the “Immersive” option lands after you select a mood card, and it’s also what “Check” and Mood Discovery hand off to once you pick a mood there.

Start Listening →

Plus: always-on radio

Outside the nine apps above, there’s also a tenth, always-there option that needs no picking at all:

Live Radio 📻

Choose this when you don’t want to choose at all. VIBESXS Radio is a continuous, always-on stream — no mood to pick, no session to set up, no account needed. It’s playing in the footer of every page on the site, any time, and you can also open it directly — on its own, full-screen, no site chrome around it — at radio.vibesxs.com.

A few features let you bring other people into what you’re doing — someone following your live set in real time, a whole party listening together for free, a fuller shared space with camera and screen share, a private room for two, a playlist you build together, or just letting a friend know you’re listening right now. Here’s what’s available and how each one works.

꩜ Vibe Rooms — a shared Autonomous DJ set

Start an Autonomous DJ session, open the Session menu, and choose Start a Vibe Room to turn it into a live broadcast — anyone with the link hears the exact same set, staying in sync as it plays. Being signed in is all it takes to listen; you don’t need to already be friends with the host.

• Free to host and free to join — no tokens spent by anyone
• Schedule a start up to 30 minutes ahead; early arrivals see a countdown
• Live listener count, plus quick reactions everyone can see
• Automatically saved as a replay once it ends, for you and everyone who was there

💃🕺 Vibe Party Room — Autonomous DJ for a whole party

Bringing a real party into it, not just one other listener? A Party Pass turns a Vibe Room into a Vibe Party Room for the length of your event.

• Free listening for up to 25 guests — no tokens spent by anyone
• Live in-session chat with customizable reactions
• In-room games for host and guests — Trivia, Mysteria, Bouncing Mood Rings, and more, with a shared leaderboard (new games added regularly)
• The Vibe Party Planner included — guest list, RSVPs, and a shared checklist
• One-time purchase

See the Party Pass flyer for the full rundown, or head to Join to get one.

Vibe Space — camera, screen share and a live DJ mixer

Want more than music together — actually seeing each other, sharing your screen, or mixing a real two-deck DJ set live for the room to hear? A Space Pass opens a Vibe Space for the length of your session.

• Free listening for up to 25 guests — no tokens spent by anyone
• Host camera and screen share, plus a live DJ mixer you control and broadcast in real time
• In-session chat and reactions you choose yourself
• Pick what plays — Autonomous DJ, one of your playlists, a Vibe-ISO journey, or your own live mix
• Choose who can join — anyone with the link, or guests you approve one by one
• Book by the hour, up to 4 hours, or a flat rate covering the full 4 hours

Get one from the Your Passes section on Your Vibe.

🫶 Date Night Pass — a private room for two

Want a little space for just the two of you? A Date Night Pass opens a private online room for two people, wherever each of you is — one pass, two people, two places. One of you buys the pass and invites the other; your partner never pays.

• Private two-way voice — you can both speak, and each of you can mute yourself
• Shared music, included in the pass — no tokens spent by either of you
• Games for two — Trivia and Mysteria together, plus Rapid Pace, Mood Match, Mood Ring, Sprinter and Vibe Shuffle, each scored on its own
• Room chat with GIFs, and you can choose to snap and send a still photo — there is no live video
• The same romantic look for both of you, whatever mood each of you has picked
• A food-delivery link for the buyer before the date, to plan dinner from your separate places
• Two hours, starting when you are both in the room — a countdown shows how long is left
• One-time purchase for both of you

How it works. Get a pass and choose when you want to meet. Invite your person by email — they sign in with that same email address to accept, and only the two of you can ever enter the room. You can open the room up to 15 minutes before your start time to set up the music, and your partner can join at the start time. Once you are both there, the buyer starts the date and your two hours begin; setup time never counts against them.

Good to know. The two hours are fixed and can’t be extended. If either of you drops out, the clock keeps running, but you can both rejoin until time is up. If the date hasn’t started within 15 minutes of your start time, the pass stays unused and you can reschedule it — an unused pass doesn’t expire. You can change the invited partner, or re-send the invite, any time before the date starts. The pass is non-refundable.

See the Date Night Pass flyer for the full rundown, or get one from the Your Passes section on Your Vibe.

🎧 Shared Queues — build a playlist together

Playlist Builder doesn’t have to be a solo job. Add a few tracks, open your queue, and tap Share Queue to turn it into one that anyone with the link can help build.

• Additions and reordering show up for everyone without needing to refresh
• Shared by link, just like a Vibe Room — no need to already be friends
• Only the person who started the queue can remove a track someone else added
• Save your own timestamped copy at any point, even mid-build

🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏾 Friends

Friends is its own section on Your Vibe — a lasting connection, separate from Vibe Rooms and Shared Queues, since you can share either of those with anyone regardless of whether you’re friends. To add someone, you’ll need their exact username — VIBESXS doesn’t have a public directory to search or browse. Send a request, and they’ll see it waiting the next time they check their own Friends list, with the choice to accept or decline. Either of you can remove the connection again later, any time.

🎧 See when a friend’s listening

Once you’re friends with someone, you can see when they’re actively listening — right there on Your Vibe, next to their name, along with what they’re playing and which app they’re in. Tap it to jump into that same app yourself. Sharing your own listening activity this way is on by default; there’s a simple switch in the Friends section if you’d rather keep it off.

Everything on VIBESXS starts with one question: how do you want to feel? Instead of picking a genre or an artist, you pick a mood — and that choice shapes the music you hear, the visuals on screen, and (if you’ve connected it) your lighting, across every app on the platform. Here are the 12 moods:

• 🌑 Mysterious — dark and enigmatic
• 🌊 Reflective — introspective and deep
• 🌀 Hypnotic — dreamy and ethereal
• ☁️ Chill — relaxed and mellow
• 💖 Romantic — intimate and sensual
• 🌿 Flow — focused and determined
• 🌞 Blissful — joyful and euphoric
• ✨ Vibing — positive and feel-good
• 🏔️ Epic — cinematic and triumphant
• 🎉 Upbeat — celebratory and fun
• 🔥 Pumped — high energy and powerful
• ⚡ Raw — intense and unfiltered

You can also set one of these as your own mood icon in Your Vibe — it’s how you’re represented around the platform, and it’s completely optional.

Every time you play a track, it uses one play from your personal allotment. Guests get a small amount with no account needed; a free account raises that; Premium and Elite give you a much bigger pool that renews every month instead of resetting daily. You can see the exact current numbers for every plan on the Join page. Your plan only controls the size of this pool — it has no effect on the rewards below, which every signed-in account earns the same way, Free included.

Guest and Free allotments reset daily; Premium and Elite reset monthly instead of daily. You can check your current balance and when it resets any time on Your Vibe.

↑ Back to top

Separate from your plays, VIBESXS runs a real rewards program alongside them — open to every signed-in account, Free included, and it never touches your play allotment. Just for listening and being part of the platform, you can earn genuine reward credits over time.

Rewards from your own listening

Just using VIBESXS while signed in — playing tracks all the way through, building an ISO Journey, favoriting songs, running a DJ Mixer session — can earn you small reward credits over time, plus milestone bonuses for listening on multiple days in a row. No setup needed; it happens automatically in the background. Guests who haven’t signed in yet don’t earn these, since there’s no account to credit.

Rewards for contributors and artists

This is a separate program for listeners whose own tracks are on VIBESXS — it’s not something a fan earns just by listening to other artists. If you’re a contributor, plays of your tracks by any listener can earn you rewards, and so can users who join VIBESXS through your referral link, once their account is confirmed as genuine and active.

Every play draws from a shared artist fund built by the whole VIBESXS community — not a per-song bill split one listener at a time. That’s what lets casual and dedicated listeners alike fund real payouts to the artists they love.

Gift tokens & keeping things fair

• Gift tokens — you can send tokens to another VIBESXS user directly from your profile menu.
• Keeping things fair — reward activity is reviewed to keep the system fair for everyone; this happens automatically in the background and doesn’t require anything from you.

Token balances don’t have a cash value at this time. You can see your own reward and token activity any time on Your Vibe.

Signing up only takes an email address. Enter it, and we send a one-time code to that inbox — enter the code, and you’re in. There’s no password to create or remember for everyday sign-in.

Didn’t get your code? Check your spam or promotions folder first — codes sometimes land there on the first email from a new sender. If it still hasn’t arrived after a minute or two, request a new code. If it keeps not arriving, reach out through Still Need Help? below.

Logging out ends your current session on this device. You’ll find it in the profile menu in the top navigation, or in the footer.

Changing your email is done from Your Vibe, under Account Settings — you’ll confirm the change with a one-time code sent to your new address, the same way sign-in works.

Deleting your account is also handled from Your Vibe → Account Settings. It’s tucked behind a “Manage account deletion” step so it’s never one accidental click away — when you’re ready, you’ll confirm you understand it’s permanent, and verify with a one-time code sent to your email, the same way everything else here works. Nothing is deleted until that final confirmation.

Your Vibe is your personal home base — a snapshot of your listening and a set of shortcuts to everything else. Here’s what you’ll find there:

• Your sound profile — charts showing which moods you’ve been listening to most, and how that’s shifted over time.
• Your Forecast — a few suggestions for what to try next, and a plain-language reason for each one.
• Quick Launch — shortcut pills to your favourite apps, so you don’t have to hunt through menus every time.
• Recently Played & Favourites — a quick look back at what you’ve been enjoying.
• Token Activity — your rewards and listening-quota activity in one place.
• Friends — add friends by username, see who’s actively listening right now, and choose whether to share your own activity with them. See Virtual Rooms for the full picture.
• Preferences & Activity — where you set your mood icon and manage account settings, including the email and deletion options described above.

You don’t need to understand any of this in advance — everything on the page explains itself as you look at it. This section is just here so it doesn’t feel unfamiliar the first time you land on it.

If you have compatible smart lighting, you can connect it to VIBESXS so your lights change along with the mood and music you’re listening to — turning any room into part of the experience. It works across most of the apps on the platform, wherever you see a lighting toggle.

Lighting connects through WLED, a free, open-source controller for addressable LED lighting — your lights need to be running WLED for VIBESXS to be able to reach them. If that’s new to you, that’s fine: the setup page walks through exactly what to install and how to connect it, step by step, so you don’t need to know anything about WLED going in.

Setting it up is a one-time process. Once connected, it stays connected — you just choose whether to sync it in for a given session.

Connect your lighting →
