Why an iPhone app and not a website?
No laptop, no upload. Just the phone that's already in your pocket after the gig. Your iPhone reads the stick directly, your stories are right there, and nothing gets uploaded.
Do I need rekordbox on my Mac or PC?
Only to prepare your stick, like you already do. After the gig, no laptop and no syncing: plug the stick into your iPhone and DJ Rewind reads your history straight from it.
My iPhone has Lightning, or my stick is USB-A. Does it work?
Yes. Lightning iPhones work with Apple's Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter, and a USB-A stick on a USB-C iPhone just needs a USB-C to USB-A adapter. You need iOS 18 or newer, so iPhone XS, XR or later, or iPhone SE (2nd generation) or later.
Does it change anything on my USB stick?
Never. DJ Rewind only reads your play history. Your stick, playlists and cue points stay exactly as they were.
Which sticks and players work?
USB sticks exported from rekordbox that you played from on club players. During the beta I'm testing as many players as I can, so tell me which ones you use.
Where does my data go?
It stays with you. During the beta, everything lives on your phone. In the App Store version, it also backs up to your iCloud: new iPhone, same Rewinds.
What does it cost?
The basics are free, for good: your newest month, your set after every gig and your tracklist as text. Premium unlocks themes, cards with your DJ name, wedding and private-event cards and your full-year Rewind, for a monthly or yearly fee. During the beta, it's all free.
