The attention charter.

Streaming didn't only change how music is paid for. It changed what platforms want from you: hours. When a service earns more the longer you stay, every design decision drifts toward keeping you there. We built the opposite, and we're writing it down so you can hold us to it.

What we promise

Nothing plays unless you ask.Radio starts when you press the radio button. When your queue ends, the music stops. There is no autoplay funnel into content you didn't choose.
No notifications engineered to pull you back. Every email we send is something you asked for or something membership requires: release announcements from artists whose mailing list you joined, your own statements and receipts, password resets, application decisions, and co-op governance votes. Nothing is sent because a dashboard said you've been away too long.
No infinite feed.Discovery pages end. The catalog is finite and human-approved, and we'd rather you finish a record than scroll a wall.
No engagement-optimized recommendations. Radio and discovery match music, using aggregate signals shared by everyone. Learning from your personal history happens only if you switch it on yourself, and you can switch it off again any time.
No popularity scoreboard. No public play counts, no charts, no follower numbers, no trending tab. Nothing on a public page is designed to make you listen to what everyone else is listening to.
Time spent here is not our revenue.Membership costs the same whether you listen for an hour or a hundred. We have no advertising and no reason to farm your hours. If you leave the app to see a show, we count that as a win. your artists' ticket links are right on their pages.

Why we can keep this promise

This isn't restraint, it's structure. Platforms optimize engagement because their revenue depends on it. Ours doesn't: a flat membership, split by real costs, with the artist pool following your deliberate listening. More of your hours would not earn us one extra cent. The incentive to trap you never exists, so the design tricks never need to.
