In development — launching soon

You already own your music. Stop renting it.

own.audio will be a private cloud home for the music, audiobooks and podcasts you already have. One library for the whole family, free apps on every screen, and you pay only for the storage you use.

Three apps. Every screen. One library.

Three focused apps instead of one that does everything badly — all reading the same family library, all free.

A day in one family library

Every family already has this audio — scattered across old laptops, drives, phones and three different apps. Here's what it looks like in one place.

  1. 7:10

    Mom carries on with her audiobook on the drive to work — right where she stopped last night in the kitchen.

  2. 12:30

    Dad plays the CDs he ripped in 2004 at his desk. No subscription, no greyed-out tracks.

  3. 16:00

    Grandma listens to the recording the grandkids made for her, shared with the whole family.

  4. 20:00

    The kids get their bedtime story — from the ones their parents picked for them.

No subscriptions. No tiers. Just storage.

Every app is free, forever — no premium tier, no ads. The only thing you pay for is the space your library actually uses, plus optional extras like AI narration, charged only when you use them.

$0.05/ GB / month

No plans to pick, no bundles, no minimum commitment. You pay for exactly what you store — nothing else.

$5 free for our first 100

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.

No hidden costs

See the exact daily and monthly cost of your library before you ever pay.

No surprises

We show you the date your credit runs out. Nothing is ever charged without warning.

Your data is never rushed

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.

“We got tired of renting our own audiobooks. So we're building the place where family audio finally belongs to the family.”
