  • Giddy is a music streaming app for Android and iOS. It has an intuitive clock interface that puts you in control of your music and makes playlist creation much, much easier.

  • Giddy is currently in the iOS store. Giddy for Android is coming in 2023.

  • Giddy is free. However, for now, you’ll need an Apple Music subscription to search and play music in Giddy. Apple Music subscriptions start at $9.99 per month. Don’t want to pay for Apple Music? Sign up for their one-month free trial. You’ll get access to 90 million songs ad-free in Apple Music and Giddy. You won’t be charged as long as you cancel before the free trial ends.

 
  • Giddy is for music lovers of all ages and all genres. Giddy does not yet have a setting to screen explicit content (this feature is planned). For this reason, parents and guardians may wish to supervise younger users. Giddy requires an Apple Music subscription. Apple Music is available in the app stores for iOS and Android, and so is Giddy. Giddy is currently available for free on the iOS and Android store.

  • All of the music you love will be on Giddy. That includes mainstream hits, indie music, and deep cuts. For now, you’ll need an Apple Music subscription to search and play music on Giddy. With that, you’ll get access to the entire Apple Music catalog, 90 million songs, ad-free, in Apple Music and Giddy.

  • Giddy’s intuitive drag-and-drop interface puts you in control. Gone are the days of closing stacks of screens to see what plays next. Or adding songs to a queue that you cannot see. With Giddy, you simply “put” songs right where you want them. Giddy’s swipe interface grounds you in the action; you are always only one swipe away from your music.

    Next year, Giddy’s Party Mode will let you listen live and build playlists with friends across any distance. Also next year, artists will be able to distribute their music directly to Giddy and earn twice what they normally make from streaming. Finally, Giddy was built by a small team of music lovers, passionate about improving music for everyone.

  • Giddy has three views:
    1) Explore (search),
    2) Now Playing (the clock face/music queue), and
    3) My Music (your library).

    Swipe left and right to flip between the views. Easily put songs from search or your library onto the queue via a simple drag and drop gesture. Want to play a song ten minutes from now? With Giddy it's simple. Just put it there.

  • When you open Giddy for the first time, you’ll be asked to connect an existing Apple Music subscription or start a new one. Just follow the prompts in Giddy. We earn affiliate income from new subscriptions, which helps fund Giddy’s development. Next year you’ll be able to subscribe to Giddy directly, without the need to connect to Apple Music. But for now, this is necessary.

  • Not yet. For now, you’ll need to re-create in Giddy any playlists and saved content from other streaming services (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.). We know this is a feature you want and we’re working on it.

  • For now, all music content in Giddy comes from Apple Music. So, to distribute original music to Giddy, submit to Apple Music via your distributor of choice (we recommend CD Baby). In 2023, artists will be able to distribute directly to Giddy and earn twice what they typically make from streaming.
