    No need to stress about playback limits. There are none.

Make your listening more enjoyable.

Don’t let slow networks or uneven volume levels get in the way of enjoying your library.

Volume that adjusts for you

Volume normalization analyzes the loudness of your tracks and evens out the levels as you listen.

Keeps playing on slow connections

Upload a high-bitrate file and we also prepare lighter versions for when your network slows down.

Remembers what you’ve played

Every track you play lands in your recently played list, so you can always go back to it.

100% user funded.

We’re completely ad-free and don’t sell user data. The plans below are how we fund the independent development of Monolith.
