Everything people want to know before they trust an app with the most photographed four hours of their life.
The basics
What is DJ Mode, in one sentence?
It turns your event into a screen of big labeled buttons — one per moment — and tapping a button plays the exact music you chose for it, fading in smoothly over whatever was on.
Is it a DJ, or a playlist?
Neither. A playlist plays in one long line and can't hit a cue. A DJ makes the decisions for you. DJ Mode lets you make every decision in advance and then plays them back on command.
Do I need to know anything about music software?
No. Building it is naming moments and dragging songs into them. Running it is tapping a button with a word on it.
What kinds of events is it for?
Anything with a running order: weddings, memorials, milestone birthdays, quinceañeras, bar and bat mitzvahs, reunions, corporate galas, anniversaries. See the who-it's-for page for the full list.
Building your board
How many pads can I have?
As many as your night has moments, once the event is activated. Free events are capped at 3 pads and 6 songs so you can rehearse the real thing before paying.
Where does the music come from?
You upload it — the actual files from your own library. MP3, M4A, AAC, OGG, WAV and FLAC all work.
Can one song be on more than one pad?
Yes. Upload it once and add it to as many pads as you like; the library is shared across the whole event.
What happens when a pad runs out of songs?
By default it loops back to the top, so a dinner or cocktail pad keeps going without anyone watching it. You can switch looping off per pad if you want a moment to end and stay ended.
Can I change things on the day?
Right up to the moment, and during the event. Anyone on the share link picks up the change next time the page loads.
Running the night
What device should I use?
Anything with a browser and a speaker connection: a phone, a tablet, or a laptop. Ideally not somebody's main phone — an old phone or a tablet is better, because a call mid-song is an unforced error.
Do I need internet at the venue?
Yes. The board streams your music, so the device running it needs a connection. Venue wifi is usually fine, and a phone hotspot works. If you're somewhere remote, test it from the actual spot beforehand.
Can somebody else run it for me?
That's the point. Share the board link and they can tap every pad and change nothing — no renaming, no deleting, no access to your account.
What if I need to stop everything?
The stop button fades everything out over a second and a half. It is never a hard cut, because a hard cut in a quiet room is a thing everyone remembers.
Why won't it play until I tap something?
Browsers require one real tap before they allow audio — a rule that exists to stop web pages blaring at you. Tap any pad once when you set up, in an empty room, and it's handled for the night.
Your music and your money
How long do you keep my songs?
Until 10 days after your event date, then they're deleted automatically. We email you before it happens. Renew for $19 to keep them another 30 days, as many times as you like.
What exactly gets deleted?
Only the audio files. Your pads, their running order, your fade settings and your script edits are kept indefinitely — re-upload the songs and the board works exactly as it did.
What does it cost?
$49 once, per event. No subscription, no per-song fee, no per-device fee, and no card kept on file.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes, and it's the real thing — the real engine, real crossfades, your real songs. Just capped at 3 pads and 6 songs until you activate.
Am I allowed to use my own music this way?
You confirm at upload that these are your own songs for your own private event. That's the basis on which DJ Mode stores and plays them back to you. If you're running something ticketed or public, check what your venue's licensing covers.
