A private, DRM-free home for your family's audiobooks, music, and podcasts — no ads, no lock-in, entirely under your control.
Audio is personal. It's how you focus, learn, or unwind. Yet today's services are closed, fragmented, and full of friction. We're giving audio back to people.
No DRM. No limits on your family.
No more juggling eight different apps.
Your data, your library, your privacy.
We built a space where you're in control of your audiobooks, music, and podcasts.
Simply drag your files into the app.
We handle metadata and covers automatically.
Anywhere. Anytime. On any device.
One account for the whole family. Share stories, not passwords.
Automatic progress, bookmarks, and a queue that follows you across devices.
Your audio with you, even on a plane or deep in the woods.
Native apps for iOS, iPadOS, Android, Mac, and Windows, all reading from the same family library.
Your library is yours alone. No one analyzes it, no one tracks it.
Free, native apps — not a web wrapper. iPhone, iPad, and Android each get three focused players; Mac and Windows get one native app for browsing, playback, and managing the whole family library. Prefer a browser? The web app does the same job, no install required.
own.audio book, music, and podcast — three focused apps, not one bloated one.
The same three apps: book, music, and podcast.
One native app for playback and family library management.
The same experience, built for Windows.
Browse, manage, and play the family library from any browser.
All free. All high quality. No app ever asks you to upgrade.
Every app is free, forever — every feature included, no premium tier, no ads. The only thing you ever pay for is the space your library actually uses.
No plans to pick, no bundles, no minimum commitment. You pay for exactly what you store — nothing else.
The first 100 people to register get a $5 welcome credit. At 5¢ per GB, that covers a starter library — say, 300 songs and 20 audiobooks (about 8 GB) — for roughly a year, or a smaller collection even longer.
See the exact daily and monthly cost of your library before you ever pay.
We show you the date your credit runs out. Nothing is ever charged without warning.
If your credit runs low, playback just pauses. Your library stays safely stored for 3 months so you have time to top up or download everything.
