A music app that knows where you are, what time it is, and what you're doing — then plays the perfect song. No scrolling. No choosing. Just living.
The Concept
In games, walking into a new area changes the music. Overworld does that for real life — matching soundtracks to the world around you.
Sun on your face, sand underfoot, waves in the distance. The music just fits.
Neon signs flicker on. The city hums around you. Main character energy.
Quiet trails, birdsong, dappled light through the canopy. Peace.
How It Works
Overworld connects to Apple Music or Spotify — your playlists, your albums, your library. It reads where you are, what time it is, and what you're doing — then plays the perfect match.
Create “grids” — zones classified by type. Beach, park, city, residential. Not specific addresses — types that work anywhere in the world.
Morning energy is different from evening calm. Overworld adapts your soundtrack as the day progresses.
Walking gets exploration vibes. Sitting gets focus beats. Driving gets road trip energy. Motion sensors handle it.
Quick scene switching. Zero battery drain. The default for everyone.
Opt-in hands-free. Motion-triggered, battery-optimized. Music flows as you move.
Free to use. Seriously.
Create zones, paint your map, play your music — all free, forever.
Premium unlocks community sharing and automatic mode. $4.99/month.
The Differentiator
Create grids for your city. Share them globally. When someone visits, they experience the world through your ears.
Same place. Different soundtrack. Every grid is a personal expression.
Under the Hood
Real tech, realistic timeline. This isn't a concept — it's being actively built.
Join the Build
No equity, no contracts. Just people who think this sounds cool and want to help make it real.
Why I'm Building This
I want to walk to the beach and have it just know to play Maplestory Aquarium. I want city walks to feel like moving through a game world.
I've wanted this for years. The Sony XM6's auto-scene feature came close but felt too limited. I can build the thing — I just need people who care about music and places to help make it something special.
