Engineered for visual comfort.
High energy never has to mean harsh strobing. Every single frame rendered by Rhythmotive passes through a hardware-accelerated 4×4 tile luminance and red-saturation flash guard capped at 3 excursions per second.
Turn on Dim flashing lights in Settings — or enable your system’s Reduce Flashing Lights accessibility setting — to engage protected one-flash-per-second derating across all 147+ scenes automatically.
Private by construction.
On Mac and iPhone, live audio analysis runs strictly in volatile memory on your device. No microphone audio, system audio, listening history, or personal identifiers are ever recorded or uploaded.
When your device fetches pre-computed beat maps from our catalogue CDN, it authenticates anonymously via Apple App Attest with request IP logging disabled at the edge.
