What you need to know

Nome creates the perfect mixtape that begins when you leave and ends when you arrive at your destination.
CarPlay support makes the app perfect for those long car journeys.

Commuters know all too well that picking the right playlist can make all the difference. Nome is an app that helps with that, but with a twist. Ferdasoft, the people behind the app, say it can create a mixtape that will perfectly fit the duration of your journey – no more songs ending early because you reached your destination.

What's more, I'm told that the app will even take into account things like delays and detours, automatically recalculating your mixtape to make it fit the new journey time.

Clever stuff!

Nome will create a mixtape perfectly matching the duration of your trip. Gone are the days of getting home halfway through a song or fumbling to pick an album before you leave. Get stuck in traffic or change your route? No problem, Nome will automatically adapt, so the music always ends when you arrive at your destination.

Like all good apps, Nome has an iOS 14 Home screen widget that can show your ETA and other details, but there's more to go along with it. Not least, that newly-added CarPlay support.
