• Spatial audio: Allows controlling device volumes through a virtual listening source for interesting sonic effects
• Polished interface: Smooth loading states, status indicators, and all UI elements come built-in
• Self-hostable: Run your own instance with a few commands

[!NOTE] Beatsync is in early development. Mobile support is working, but experimental. Please consider creating an issue or contributing with a PR if you run into problems!
