About Bionic Tape
Unfold, pick a tape, fold, listen.
Bionic Tape turns your iPhone into a cassette deck. Unfolded, your playlists and albums sit on the shelf as cassettes, each in its case with cover art. Tap, and the tape slides into the deck. Fold the phone, and the tape rolls on the cover screen: reels spin, the tape hisses, the keys click.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• Fold instead of tap: the hinge decides whether you pick tapes or listen. Folding starts playback.
• Keys you can press: real 3D keys with travel, click and haptics. PLAY latches while the tape is running.
• Volume you can feel: a knob with an LED ring, a thumb wheel or a touch pad, depending on device and skin. 16 detents, each one clicks.
• SHUFFLE: a slide switch plays your tapes in random order.
• OUT: send the music to smart speakers, Bluetooth speakers or headphones.
• Window: look through the window at the cassette with its handwritten label and the current song. The tape pack shows how much of the tape is left.
• Tent mode: stand your iPhone up as a tent and the cassette becomes the show, with your playlist's cover art as the label. Tap to play/pause, swipe for the next track.
• Full screen: tap the cassette and only the tape remains.
• Seven skins: Translucent in see-through turquoise, 1983 in the style of 80s office computers, Sport in bold 80s yellow, Classic retro blue, Bionic OS, Cyberpunk and HMZ.swiss.
• TAPE FX: hiss and clicks can be switched off.
MUSIC
• Apple Music: your playlists and albums as cassettes. Requires an Apple Music subscription.
• Your own music: MP3, FLAC, AAC, ALAC, WAV and AIFF from the Files app, every album a cassette. Plays offline and in the background, with lock screen controls.
• Demo tapes: work right away, no account needed.
• Spotify and more services follow as free updates.
BUILT FOR THE IPHONE DUO
Made for unfolding and folding. On iPhones without a hinge, a button switches between shelf and player.

About Bionic Tape: Cassette Player
Unfold, pull a tape in, fold, listen.
Bionic Tape turns your phone into a cassette deck – made for foldables, at home on any smartphone. Unfolded, your playlists and albums sit on the shelf as cassettes, each in its case with cover art. Hold a tape and drag it into the deck – the case opens and the cassette clicks in. Fold the phone, and the tape rolls on the cover screen: reels spin, the tape hisses, the keys click.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• Fold instead of tap: the hinge decides whether you pick tapes or listen. Folding starts playback.
• Keys you can press: real 3D keys with travel, click and haptics. PLAY latches while the tape is running.
• Volume wheel: a ridged thumb wheel with 16 detents, each one clicks.
• Window: look through the window at the cassette with its handwritten label and the current song. The tape pack shows how much of the tape is left.
• Tent mode: turn the folded phone sideways and the cassette becomes the show, with your playlist's cover art as the label. Tap to play/pause, swipe for the next track.
• Six skins: Classic retro blue, Sport in bold 80s yellow, Bionic OS, Cyberpunk, HMZ.swiss and Llama Amp.
• TAPE FX: hiss and clicks can be switched off.
MUSIC
• YouTube Music: your playlists and Liked Music as cassettes, played through the official YouTube Music app. Background playback requires YouTube Music Premium. Google sign-in only reads your playlists.
• Your own music: MP3, FLAC, AAC and OGG files as tapes, every album a cassette. Plays offline and in the background.
• Demo tapes: work right away, no account needed.
FOLDABLE FIRST – WORKS ON ANY PHONE
Bionic Tape is made for foldables like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, where the hinge is the controller. It runs on any Android smartphone too: since version 1.0.1, regular phones get their own layout – a desk cassette recorder with speaker grille, rotary volume knob and a row of keys. Pull a tape down to play it; a button takes you back to the shelf.
