A premium third-party Apple Music client — warm copper branding, intentional Listening Sessions, Mix Lab, Replay, and optional Last.fm scrobbling. Built for people who want Apple Music with a point of view.

Aura is an editorial Apple Music client for iOS — SwiftUI + MusicKit — designed so it fails the “this could be stock Apple Music” screenshot test.
Copper-on-paper brand, Fraunces on music names, and Studio features up front: Sessions, Mix Lab, Roulette, and Replay — not buried in a More menu.
🎯 Key Features
Listening Sessions: Intentional listening with mood, timer, and a designed end state — more than a sleep timer.
Mix Lab & Roulette: Parametric mixes and swipe discovery that stock Apple Music doesn’t offer.
Replay & share cards: Story-style listening recap and branded static share images.
Optional Last.fm scrobbling: Connect Last.fm (and later ListenBrainz) so plays Aura observes become portable listening identity. Off by default; privacy toggle in Settings.
Full MusicKit playback: Library, catalog, queue, favorites, recommendations, charts, and line-synced lyrics.
