Out of the way until you reach for them.

Lifestyle

Built for any aesthetic.

Your room, your palette, your taste. Listening to neon-purple anime tracks on a purple LED setup? The screen matches. Pastel pink ambient on a cream desk? Same. The player adapts to whatever you're playing — and to whatever vibe you're in.

Why people use this

Because SoundCloud should look
as good as the music sounds in it.

  • You leave SoundCloud open while you work and want it to look like a player, not a webpage.
  • You miss the fullscreen "Canvas" view from Spotify, or the now-playing screen from Apple Music.
  • You want to glance at the cover and the time remaining without hunting for the SoundCloud tab among 40 others.
  • You want SoundCloud to look as good as the music sounds in it.
Privacy

Privacy in plain English.

The extension only runs on soundcloud.com. It reads what's already on the page — track title, artist name, artwork URL — and uses that to render the player. Nothing is collected. Nothing is sent to a server. Nothing is stored outside your browser.

No accounts No tracking No ads Free — forever
FAQ

Frequently asked.

Does it work with free SoundCloud?
Yes. Free SoundCloud and SoundCloud Go+ — both fully supported.
Does it slow down the page?
No. The extension only runs when you're on soundcloud.com, and idle when the overlay isn't open.
Does it download tracks?
No, and it never will. This is a listening tool, not a downloader.
Does it work on Firefox / Safari / Edge?
Right now, Chrome only. Edge usually works because it's Chromium-based, but it's not officially supported.
Why does it ask for permission to read soundcloud.com?
That's how Chrome lets the extension inject the player into the SoundCloud page. The permission scope is locked to soundcloud.com only — it can't read any other site.
Where does the cover-colour come from?
The extension samples the album artwork live (entirely in your browser) and extracts a vivid accent colour. The artwork itself stays where SoundCloud put it — it never leaves the page.
