About
A Flutter app that identifies any song with ShazamKit, normalizes metadata with MusicBrainz, enriches results with TMDb (and OMDb as fallback), and caches matches locally for fast repeat lookups — so you can discover where a track appeared in TV and film. Available on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Android (Android 12+).
- Record a clip; ShazamKit returns title, artist, artwork, and ISRC when available
- Manual search when you already know the song title and artist
- Share a song from Spotify or Apple Music into Whence to start a search
- MusicBrainz for canonical title and artist
- TV and film sync appearance matching pipeline
- TMDb / OMDb for posters, years, and metadata
- Drift (SQLite) for history, favorites, and offline cache
- Coming soon: share from Spotify or Apple Music into the app to look up screen appearances
