Daft Slop: AI Music Detector is a free iPhone app that listens through the microphone, identifies the playing song in the Apple Music catalog, and evaluates whether the track shows signs of machine generation. With one tap it matches the recording, then returns one of three verdicts - Human, Unsure, or AI - along with a percentage estimate of how likely the track is AI-produced. It works without signing in or an Apple Music subscription, but requires microphone access and an internet connection to look up tracks.
The app is presented as an estimator rather than conclusive proof: it only analyzes songs it can find in Apple Music and does not catch every AI-generated track. The detection capability is also integrated into Daft Music, the developer’s Apple Music player. Developer OBRHOFF Software Labs GmbH lists the app as 34.6 MB, English-only, compatible with iOS/macOS/visionOS 26.4 or newer, and free; the privacy declaration states no data is collected. Contact and EU compliance details are provided in the listing.
