What it does

Penta turns your iPhone, iPad or iPhone Duo into a ’90s 5-disc CD changer for your Apple Music library. Every click, whir and tray motor is recorded from a real CD changer. On iPhone Duo the phone is the jewel case: close it and you’re holding the album, open it and the case opens with it, then drop the disc into the carousel. Hold it upright for a CD wallet over the tray that animates open and closed. Free, with an optional one-time Pro unlock for the real printed CD art.

A five-disc CD player for your iPhone and iPad. Coming to iPhone Duo.

Recreate a 5-disc CD player carousel on your iPhone or iPad. Load discs and play music the old-fashioned way, with authentic sights and sounds. Penta is a five-disc CD changer for your Apple Music library. Pick an album, open the jewel case, and drop the disc into the carousel. On iPhone Duo, the phone itself is the case: open it and the case opens with it. Real album art on every disc, keys you can feel on iPhone, and any way up on iPad. An iPhone or iPad with iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. Albums you own play without a subscription; streaming from the Apple Music catalog needs an Apple Music subscription. Penta needs permission to access your music library. If you chose "Don't Allow", turn it…from jseubert.github.io

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
