A new paradigm for music
Streaming platforms are built on artists' labor and fans' passion, but the value flows to middlemen, not creators. It doesn't have to be this way.
Sales as easy as streams
Artists need sales more than streams, but every revenue line that pays the rent lives off the streaming app. On DAPS, e-commerce is one swipe away.
Fans build and customize
Fan-created content is stuck on ad-dominated sites with paywalls and data harvesting. DAPS builds the home every music fan deserves. Finally.
Source-available, open SDK
Open-source SDK and schemas (Apache 2.0), source-available platform (Elastic License 2.0). Readable, forkable, and community-extensible.
A familiar experience, fundamentally different
Same intuitive music player, but better. Swipe right for artist features, swipe left for fan extensions. It's all one gesture away.
