Music streaming wasn't built for families.

Apple Music, Spotify, and the rest are built for one person. They auto-play things you didn't ask for. They surface songs with lyrics you'd rather not explain on the school run. They blur the line between what you've chosen and what an algorithm chose for you.

Songkrate flips that. You stay in control of what music exists in your family's library β€” and then everyone gets a clean, beautiful player to enjoy it.

"I just want my kid to be able to play music on the iPad without me having to monitor every tap. That's all."
β€” Every parent we've talked to

How it works

Three steps. About five minutes from "I just signed up" to "the kids are playing music."

1

Connect Apple Music

Sign in with the Apple Music subscription you already have. No new music service to pay for.

2

Curate the library

Browse the full Apple Music catalog and pick exactly what's allowed. Albums, artists, individual songs β€” your call.

3

Hand it over

Give the kids a profile and let them play. They get a beautiful music app. You get peace of mind.

What's in it

A full-featured music player with the controls families actually need.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

A profile per kid

Each kid gets their own curated music library. Switch profiles with a tap, or set up the iPad so it stays on one.

🔒

PIN-protected parent mode

Curation, profile management, and settings are gated behind a parent PIN. Kids stay in their lane.

🎵

Real Apple Music playback

Native, lossless audio piped through your existing Apple Music subscription. Works with HomePod, AirPlay, CarPlay.

📡

Works offline

Download the curated library for car rides, flights, and the spotty WiFi at the in-laws' place.

🎧

No surprise recommendations

If you didn't add it, it's not in the library. No autoplay rabbit holes, no "you might also like" sketchy detours.

💬

Manage from your phone

Add a song to your kid's library while they're listening. Updates everywhere instantly.

Built for the way families actually listen.

A few of the moments we had in mind when we made this.

🏠

The shared iPad

One device, two or three kids, three different music tastes. Each gets their own profile, their own library, their own playlists. No fighting.

🚗

The road trip

Download the library before you leave. The kids can DJ from the back seat without burning through cell data β€” or playing anything you'd regret.

🍔

Dinnertime

The HomePod is for the family β€” and so is what's playing on it. Curate a profile for shared moments and let everyone queue up something they love.

The music your family actually wants. And nothing else.

We're putting the finishing touches on Songkrate now. Drop your email and we'll let you know the moment it's ready β€” no other emails, no marketing fluff.
