Two free tools for Tidal: a personal weekly mix built from your own library, and a playlist you can actually curate together with friends.
Tidal sounds superb, but two features are still missing: a weekly refreshed mix in the spirit of Spotify’s Discover Weekly, and playlists that several people can edit together. Emphasis adds both on top of the official Tidal API – free, open source and without any tracking.
You sign in once with your existing Tidal account. Emphasis only ever receives permission to read your favorites and playlists and to write playlists. Your password, payment details and subscription settings stay out of reach, and the resulting playlists live in your normal Tidal account – in the Tidal app, in the car and on your TV.
Tidal offers personalized “My Mixes” and a daily discovery, but no fixed weekly playlist with a transparent selection. Emphasis creates exactly that: a 20-track playlist, refreshed every week, right inside your Tidal account.
Tidal has no collaborative playlists – shared playlists are read-only for everyone else. Emphasis works around it: everyone keeps their own copy and all copies are reconciled once a day.
Yes. Emphasis is an open-source community project. It costs nothing, shows no ads and uses no analytics or tracking services. All you need is an existing Tidal subscription.
No. Sign-in goes through Tidal’s official OAuth login. You only ever type your password on Tidal’s own page; Emphasis receives a narrowly scoped access token that you can revoke at any time.
