Changelog

v4.8.0Latest

August 5, 2026

• Redesigned Browse tab - Discover curated kids' content on the new Browse home: a featured stage with hand-picked highlights, themed collections to swipe through, and a full album grid with search and sorting by album title or artist
• Featured stage - Up to five hand-picked albums rotate in a cover-flow carousel at the top of Browse; without a language filter, the highlights now mix all languages
• Subscription at a glance - The subscription page now shows your plan, billing period, status, and renewal date as clear info cards. Family plans are displayed correctly, including switching between monthly and yearly
• Smoother sheets - Import, playlist, and info sheets across the app have been modernized with consistent sizing, and success screens now scroll at large accessibility text sizes instead of being clipped
• Better onboarding - The intro and tips pages have been reworked with feature cards, and switching your music source during setup no longer leads to a blank page
• Honest confirmations - "Import Complete" only appears when tracks were actually imported, and "1 track imported" is finally singular
• Fixes: the Apple Music permission prompt no longer sends you to Settings unnecessarily, and leftover Spotify sign-in data is cleaned up when you disconnect

v4.7.0

July 3, 2026

• Local Files - Play music and audiobooks stored on your device or in iCloud Drive, with no streaming account needed. Add folders, search them, and build playlists just like Apple Music or Spotify
• Per-profile music source - Each profile now picks its own source (Apple Music, Spotify, or Local Files), so siblings can use different services on the same device
• Faster and smoother - The player, playlist overview, and scrolling throughout the app are heavily optimized, with lower battery and memory use, especially on older devices
• Smarter artwork caching - Album covers now survive app updates instead of being downloaded again and again, saving data and loading instantly
• Apple Music is now marked as the recommended, fully supported service, and Spotify is labeled experimental across onboarding, setup, and the FAQ
• Spotify connection - Spotify now requires a fresh sign-in every 6 months; Muky warns you before the connection expires and reconnecting takes just one tap. Signing in is also more reliable and secure, and skipping tracks is faster
• Account tab now remembers where you were (Tools, Profiles, and more) when switching tabs; tap the active tab again to jump back to the top
• Fixes: playlist playback stopping on a locked phone, stray playback when leaving the player, the last track on fast-skip, an unresponsive play button after rapid skipping, a freeze when starting large audiobooks from Local Files, and smoother progress-bar performance
