BurnClub, an iPhone app that turns public Instagram and TikTok profiles into playlists, is listed as free on the App Store. The tip source, New Mobile Life, gives its original price as US $0.99, while the App Store page itself shows only the word Free.
The app is made by a small independent team, and its listing says it was created by two design leaders from TikTok and Meta. The latest update note says users were locked out by an in-app purchase prompt and that the developer is making the app free.
What does BurnClub do?
You paste the link to a public Instagram or TikTok profile, and the app looks for the songs used across that profile’s public posts. It then lines them up as a playlist you can browse before saving anything. The listing also describes a step where you burn a digital CD, which is the app’s way of finishing a playlist.
- Turns a public social profile into a playlist
- Finds the songs used across public posts
- Lets you preview each track before you save
- Saves playlists to Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube Music
- Shows what the BurnClub community is discovering
- Lets you share your finds with friends
No account is needed. According to the listing, you just paste a link and start. The developer states that BurnClub is independent and is not affiliated with Instagram, TikTok, Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music or Meta.
How do you get it?
- Open the App Store on an iPhone and search for BurnClub - Song Discovery, or use the listing linked below.
- Check that the button reads Free, then download the app.
- Open it, paste a public Instagram or TikTok profile link, and wait for the songs to appear.
- Preview the tracks and save the playlist to the music app you already use.
The listing says the app is 9.5 MB, needs iOS 18.0 or later, is in English only and carries an age rating of 13+. It also notes the app is designed for iPhone and is not verified for macOS, even though the compatibility section mentions Mac and Apple Vision.
Prices
- Original price: US $0.99, according to New Mobile Life. The App Store page does not show a previous price.
- Current price: Free on the App Store page we read, which is the US storefront.
- End date: not stated. Because the developer’s own note ties the change to a purchase prompt that locked users out, it is not clear whether free is temporary or permanent, so it can end any time.
Prices in other regional stores were not checked, so do not assume the same price everywhere.
Who it suits
Music fans who follow other people’s taste. If you already enjoy a friend’s or a creator’s posts and wonder what songs run underneath them, this app collects those tracks in one place.
People who build playlists for friends. Saving to Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube Music and sharing finds makes it easy to pass a discovery along.
Anyone who dislikes signing up. The listing says no account is needed, which keeps the first try quick.
Readers who watch their data. The developer’s privacy label says device ID, usage data and product interaction may be collected for app functionality and are not linked to your identity. Apple notes this information has not been verified by Apple, so read the developer’s privacy policy first.
What is not known
The sources do not say how many songs the app finds per profile, how accurate the matching is, or whether private accounts are ignored beyond the word public in the description. The listing shows only 3 ratings so far, all positive, which is too few to judge the app. Whether the free price will last is also unstated.
What to do next
If the idea appeals, open the App Store listing on your iPhone, confirm the button still says Free, and try one profile you already know well. If a price appears at download, you can skip it, since the offer can change at any time.
