Annie identifies songs playing nearby and turns music links into universal links that point listeners to available streaming services. Its built-in Shazam integration captures and identifies music, while ISRC-based matching helps locate the corresponding track across platforms. You can also paste a Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube link to create a universal link. Recipients can choose where to listen from the services available for that track, including Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and YouTube. Annie can save and organize songs across services; creating an account enables saved finds, playlist syncing, and advanced features, though searching can begin without one. The app needs an internet connection both to identify a song and to find streaming links, and it does not identify music offline. Annie does not host or store full tracks; audio previews, typically up to 30 seconds, come from third-party services. It is free, with no subscription required for identification and universal links, and is available on Android and iOS.
Who it is for
Annie suits everyday listeners, artists, playlist curators, and DJs who want to identify music or share a track across streaming services. An account is useful for people who want saved finds and playlist syncing.
