What's new

Everything 2 did, without the parts you fought

Screenshot: the same overlay URL open on a phone and a laptop beside OBS, all three showing the same track

Overlays live in the cloud

One overlay URL that works on any device. No localhost ports, no firewall rules, no bridging two PCs. The pain of 2, gone.

VIDEO (~10s, reuses the /for/obs clip): one click on Add to OBS; the browser source appears in the Sources panel and the overlay renders live in the OBS preview

One-click Add to OBS

Now Playing creates the browser source for you: named, sized, and placed in your scene.

VIDEO (~15s, reuses the overlays-page editor loop): accent color, layout, and animation edits reflecting instantly in the live overlay preview

A theme editor and gallery

Pick a broadcast-ready theme and shape it visually (layout, type, colors, animation) with a live preview.

VIDEO (~12s): the onboarding wizard after a wrong autodetect. The user picks their DJ software from the list, the connection check runs, and the source card flips to Connected

An onboarding wizard that catches misses

Autodetection finds most setups on its own. When it guesses wrong, the wizard walks you to the right source in a couple of clicks.

More sources

Mixxx, Spotify, and a universal file watcher join rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, VirtualDJ, djay Pro, DJUCED, StageLinq, and PRO DJ LINK.

Track history, built in

Every set logged automatically. Browse it, export it, turn it into a tracklist.

Lights and sync

Lumia Stream, MIDI clock, and Ableton Link outputs let your lighting and gear follow the mix.

Your setup comes with you

Now Playing 3 detects your Now Playing 2 install and imports its settings: sources, preferences, the lot. The two versions run side by side, so nothing about your working setup is at risk while you switch.

FAQ

The move, in plain terms

Do I lose my settings?

No. Now Playing 3 detects an existing Now Playing 2 install and imports your settings, so your sources and preferences arrive with you.

Can I keep Now Playing 2 installed?

Yes, they install side by side. Keep 2 around while you settle in, and retire it whenever you're ready.

What exactly does the upgrade cost?

$9.99 one-time until January 1, 2027, then $14.99, against $39.99 for new Pro buyers. The upgrade is purchased inside the app.

What if I only used the free parts of 2?

Then start with 3's free tier. It's bigger than 2's: cloud overlays, the theme gallery, one-click Add to OBS, file output, and track history, all free. Upgrade only if Pro earns it.

Why is there a deadline?

Launch pricing ends January 1, 2027 across the board. The upgrade rises to $14.99 and the new-buyer price to $39.99. The date doesn't move.
