Music services

Inside the web player
you already use

Deus draws into the page of Spotify, YouTube Music, Yandex Music, SoundCloud, Deezer and Apple Music itself. The player, search and library stay put. Each service has its own switch in Settings.

The Prodigy artist page in the Spotify web player with Deus: an animated aurora visual fills the header behind the artist name and the track list, with the sidebar and player bar still visible.
Home, playlist, album and artist pages
Where the visual appears
Home, playlist, album, artist, Liked Songs, track, podcast show and episode pages. On content pages the visual fills the page behind the header and the track list and stays in place while you scroll.
Spotify stays Spotify
Navigation, search, your library, the queue and the player bar work as usual. Deus reads the tab’s sound; it doesn’t replace the player. Settings › Inside the music player turns Deus off on Spotify; then it works like any other tab.
Themes
71 themes restyle the page background, panels, the player bar and text: light and dark palettes (Paper Day, Deus Noir, Blood Moon…), textured looks such as Blueprint, Stained Glass, Art Deco and Frutiger Aero, and Chameleon. “Spotify default” turns the restyling off.
Chameleon
A theme without fixed colours. On Spotify the cover of the playing track, blurred, becomes the window background behind translucent panels; on an artist page the artist’s header image is used. It changes when the track changes.
Control
Turn visuals on, pick presets and themes in the extension popup. ← → switch presets right on the page. The popup’s classic Deus button opens the full visualizer in its own tab or window, while the in-page visual waits.The Deus extension popup: power switch, Single or Rotate preset mode, search and sorting, category tabs (WebGL, Canvas, MilkDrop, Scope) and a grid of preset cards with like and dislike ratings.
Fullscreen
Opens from the popup. Shows the track and preset names with previous / play-pause / next buttons that control the player, and a short “Now playing” note when the track changes. The controls hide when the mouse is still; Esc exits.

The visualizer screen

The visual fills the tab or window. The menu sits at the top left, the control bar at the bottom, and both fade out when the mouse is still. A short tour shows you around the first time.

One theme everywhere

The same 71 themes recolour the visualizer, the popup, all six music players and Deus Studio. Pick one here or in the popup. Chameleon takes its colours from an image you choose, or from the playing preset.

Ratings
Every theme card has 👍 and 👎. Popular puts the most liked themes first.
Favorites
Star the themes you like to keep them at hand.
Rotate themes
Under Design, Rotate themes changes the theme on a timer, from 5 seconds to an hour, in order or shuffled. With two or more starred themes, only those take turns.
Deus Studio
The shader editor wears the theme you picked, too.

Try them right here: pick a theme and this whole site changes to it, the way the extension does.

    Deus Studio and Floating Pet

    Deus Studio Free A GLSL editor connected to the real Deus engine Write, preview and save your own audio-reactive shaders inside Deus.

    Write a fragment shader and see it react immediately to the tab Deus is listening to, or choose an audio file from your computer. The preview uses the same uniforms, sound analysis and WebGL 1 renderer as the visualizer.

    Deus Studio with the Deus Rainbow v2 shader source on the left, its live preview on the right and generated parameters below the preview.
    A built-in preset opened as an editable copy. The original remains unchanged.
    Start with something real
    Open a starter, an audio-inputs tour, or any of the 33 built-in WebGL presets. Multipass and feedback presets come across as editable copies too.
    Code with context
    Syntax highlighting, hover documentation and live values for Deus uniforms, colour chips, declaration jumping, plus compiler errors on the lines that caused them.
    Turn code into controls
    Select a number or colour to make a slider, colour picker or switch. Those controls appear here and in the visualizer’s Tune panel.
    Watch the audio engine
    Inspect raw and normalized spectra, note chroma and 12 seconds of level, bass, mids, treble, attacks and detected drum hits — each labelled with its shader uniform.
    Preview every format
    Resize the code and preview panes, then test Free, 16:9, 1:1 or 9:16. FPS, frame time, render size, pause, restart and fullscreen controls stay on the preview.
    Save it into Deus
    Save with a generated thumbnail, or save and play immediately. Your shaders live in Presets › Custom; unsaved edits survive a reload as a draft.
    Shader inputs and render options

    Studio supports GLSL ES 1.00 and Shadertoy-style mainImage, iTime, iResolution and iFrame. Deus adds live frequency arrays, level, bass, mids, treble, pulses, drum hits, note intensity and more. Code comments can define custom controls, render passes, feedback and a frame-rate cap, so the preset carries its own setup wherever it plays.

    Floating Pet Pro A tiny visualizer that stays with you Keep an audio-reactive companion floating over your browser tabs.

    The Pet floats transparently over regular web pages and follows you from tab to tab while music plays elsewhere. It shares Deus’s current capture and audio analysis, so turning it on does not start a second analyzer.

    Three looks
    XY oscilloscope, spectrum orb and Deus Rainbow v2.
    Made to move
    Drag it into a corner, resize from 120 to 480 px, set opacity, or double-click to change the look.
    Tune each look
    Adjust colour, glow, afterglow and scale; the orb adds bass and kick motion, while Deus v2 shares its full Tune settings with the main visualizer.
    Quiet when it should be
    It dozes when there is no sound, hides in fullscreen and only the front tab renders it, at up to 30 fps.

    The first start asks for optional access to all sites so the Pet can appear across tabs. Deus asks only when you turn the Pet on.

    Spectrum orbOne of the three looks. It floats over the page, breathing with the bass.

    Questions

    Didn’t find your answer? Write to [email protected], a real person replies.

    How do I start?

    Add Deus to desktop Chrome and pin its icon. Play music on Spotify, YouTube Music, Yandex Music or any other tab and click the Deus icon on that tab: in the music players the visual starts right inside the page, on other sites press Visualize this tab. Then pick a preset and go fullscreen.

    Deus doesn’t react to the music. What’s wrong?

    Usually Chrome is still waiting for the click on the Deus icon on the music tab, or the music plays on another device. The help page lists every common reason with a fix. Open the help page

    Do I need to install a separate program?

    No. Deus is a Chrome extension: you add it to Chrome and it runs there. It doesn’t change the desktop and mobile apps of Spotify and other services; it works with their web players: open.spotify.com, music.youtube.com, music.yandex.ru, soundcloud.com, deezer.com and music.apple.com.

    Which sites work with the any-tab visualizer?

    Regular web pages (http and https) that play sound in a Chrome tab, such as video sites, web radios or podcasts. Chrome’s internal pages (chrome://) can’t be captured. The visual opens in its own tab or window rather than on top of the site.

    What’s included for free? Is there a time limit?

    No time limit. The full comparison is in Free & Pro above.

    Will it slow down my computer?

    Visuals are drawn by your graphics card. Deus caps the render resolution and stops drawing while the visual is hidden: the music player’s tab, or the visualizer tab for any-tab. The Quality chip on the visualizer’s bar shows how a preset runs, and Deus can lower the quality by itself when it lags. Some scenes are heavier than others; if a laptop runs warm, pick Medium or Low, or a different preset.

    Does my audio stay on my device?

    Audio analysis happens locally. Deus does not send your music audio to its servers. The extension does send usage events, preset ratings and license or referral requests. See the privacy policy for details.

    Can I export a Spotify track as a video?

    No. Video export renders a preset, or a chain of presets, over an audio file from your computer, from Render in the visualizer’s menu. It does not record streaming services. Use audio you have the right to use.

    What is the oscilloscope mode?

    XY Oscilloscope draws sound the way an analog oscilloscope in XY mode does: the left channel moves the beam sideways, the right one up and down. There is a whole music genre written for it, oscilloscope music, where the sound itself draws pictures. Deus simulates the oscilloscope in software, so all you need is a browser. The Oscilloscope tab in the preset gallery has tracks to try.

    Can I make my own visual preset?

    Yes. Open Deus Studio from Create › GLSL in the visualizer. You can start from a template or edit a copy of any built-in WebGL preset, add Tune controls in the code, preview it with live or local audio, then save it under Presets › Custom. Studio is included in Free.

    Can I keep Deus off one of the music sites?

    Yes. Settings › Inside the music player has a switch for each of the six services. Spotify, YouTube Music and Yandex Music are on by default; SoundCloud, Deezer and Apple Music turn on once you allow the site. Turn one off and Deus leaves that site alone: no in-page visual or theme, and the popup offers Visualize this tab there like on any other site.

    How does the YouTube glow work?

    It’s an optional glow around videos on youtube.com that follows the sound and calms down when people talk. Turn it on from the YouTube badge in the popup; Chrome asks once for access to youtube.com. The sound is analysed locally from the video on the page, nothing is recorded or sent anywhere, and the Deus button on the player holds its settings.

    What does the Floating Pet need access to?

    The Pet needs Chrome’s optional “access to all sites” permission so it can float over regular pages and follow you between tabs. Deus asks for it only when you first turn the Pet on. The Pet is a Pro feature and shares the audio capture Deus is already using.

    Is Pro a subscription? What if I lose my license?

    No subscription: Pro is a one-time $20 purchase, and the license is delivered by email. You can recover it here with the email you used at checkout.
