The music you own, kept somewhere that's actually yours.
Upload the tracks you've bought, ripped, or recorded. Cadence stores them, organises them, and plays them back on your phone, your tablet, your laptop, and in the car. No catalogue to browse. No algorithm deciding what you hear next. Just your library, where you left it.
Already have one? Sign in. It runs in your browser too — open Cadence.

Every streaming service is a lease, not a library. The album you built a summer around can vanish on the day a licensing deal lapses, and nobody asks you first. The catalogue you're browsing was never really yours to keep — you were renting access to somebody else's warehouse, and the rent can change, or the warehouse can just close a wing.
Cadence starts from the opposite premise. You already own this music — you bought it, ripped it from a CD you still have, downloaded it the legal way years ago, or recorded it yourself. Cadence's only job is to take what you already own and give it a real home: stored properly, organised the way you'd organise it, and playable wherever you happen to be standing.
Cadence doesn't have a catalogue, so it can't lose one.
There's no licensing to negotiate, because there's nothing to license — every file in your library came from you. That also means there's no discovery feed, no "you might also like," no algorithm quietly steering what you hear. It's closer to a well-kept shelf than a storefront: you put music on it, and it stays exactly where you put it.
Everywhere you actually listen
One library, not one device.
Upload once and it plays on your phone, your tablet, and your laptop — the same library, the same playlists, the same play counts, wherever you open it. There's a car mode too, built for browsing your library on a dashboard rather than a desk.
Right now there are four builds you can put your hands on — Android, Mac, Windows and Linux — plus the app itself in your browser, all straight from this page rather than through a store listing. The Mac build is signed and notarised by Apple, so it opens without the warning an unidentified download gets; the Windows build isn't code-signed yet, so Windows will warn about an unrecognised app on first launch. iPhone and iPad aren't ready yet. That's the honest state of things: what's finished is here, and nothing else is promised.
For musicians
Some of what's in your library, you made yourself.
Not everything in a personal library was bought. If you play, Cadence lets you record straight from the device microphone — a rehearsal, a demo, a take you don't want to lose — name it, and add it to your library next to everything else. No separate app for that, no export-then-reimport. It's the same shelf.
By design, not by omission
Every account is a sealed box.
There's no sharing in Cadence. No public profile, no follow button, no "see what your friends are playing." That's not a feature we haven't built yet — it's the whole point of the thing. Your library is yours, full stop, and nobody else's account can see into it, match against it, or borrow from it.
Audio only moves in and out through import and export, deliberately, by you. Everything in between — the storing, the organising, the playing — happens inside a box with your name on it and no windows.
Bring the music you already own somewhere that'll actually keep it.
Or download the app for your phone or computer.
