Visualizer Categories

Audio Visualizers ships with 140 visualizers organized into 13 categories, browsable in the left sidebar in Visualizer mode. Each table below lists a category's visualizers with the engine labels shown in the visualizer selector.

Finding and Organizing Visualizers

Before the catalog, the tools for navigating it:

• Search — click the search icon in the header (or the search entry in the sidebar) to open the visualizer search modal. Use the heart button on any entry to mark it a favorite; favorites get their own section at the top of the modal.
• Star ratings — rate the active visualizer 1–5 stars at the top of the settings sidebar.

• Filters — the sidebar's filter drawer narrows the list by rating (All, 5 STAR, 4+ STAR, 3+ STAR, Rated, Unrated, FAVORITES).
• Sorts — reorder each category by Default, Rating ↓, Rating ↑, Most Used, Recent, A – Z, Z – A.

• Recently Used — the filter drawer also shows your most recently used visualizers for one-click return.

Core Analytics

Classic signal-analysis tools — meters, scopes, and spectra.

Wire

Wireframe meshes and terrain surfaces that deform with the audio.

Lines

Line-based visualizers — precise, minimal, and often the most visually articulate.

Particles

Particle systems driven by audio — from delicate starfields to explosive physics.

Spheres

Sphere-based 3D visualizers with reactive surface deformation, colliding marble swarms, and audio-driven motion. Marble Madness settings and physics guide.

Organic

Fluid, organic forms inspired by biology and natural phenomena.

Simulation

Physics-based simulations where the audio drives real simulation variables.

Creative

Experimental and artistic visualizers that push the medium.

Matrix LED

A virtual LED-matrix panel: a shared engine renders every effect as a grid of glowing LED dots, with panel-wide controls for LED pitch (density), dot gap, glow, brightness, unlit-LED color, and an RGB panel or single-color red badge profile. Audio comes from a 16-band graphic-EQ engine with beat detection.

Text

Dynamic, audio-reactive typography.

Space

Cosmic and astronomical visualizations.

Date and Time

Time-based visualizers that incorporate clock and date elements.

Every clock has a TIME ZONE control that defaults to ACCOUNT DEFAULT — it follows the global Timezone you set on /account, which in turn defaults to your device's time zone. Override any individual clock by choosing a specific city or UTC from its TIME ZONE control.

Backgrounds

Ambient background visualizers designed to complement other content or run standalone.
