UNISON Music Journal

Unison is a personal music journal to keep track of the analogue (and digital) records you listen to.

Log an album the day you hear it. Give it a rating — half stars, and on every individual track if
you want to argue about sequencing. Write a line about it, or a proper review, and decide who gets
to read it. Then look back over the year and see what you actually listened to, rather than what an
algorithm decided to count.

WHAT YOU KEEP

• A journal, by date. Re-listens are marked as re-listens.
• Ratings on albums and on tracks.
• Reviews, from one line to an essay, public or for followers only or for nobody but you.
• Want to Listen — named queues for the records you mean to get to. Log one and it clears itself
out of them.
• Lists you publish, with a note under each record saying why it is there.

WHAT YOU SHARE

• Pulse, a feed of what the people you follow have been hearing. Like a listen, reply to it, or
take the record for yourself.
• Lists you build together, which offer the records you and the others already have in common.
• Clubs: coming soon — a few people, one record at a time.
• Messages, with anyone you both follow.

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO

Unison does not play music, and it never will. Every record has a Listen button that opens it in
whichever service you already pay for — Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music or YouTube
Music. Pick your default once and it stays.

There is no advertising and no subscription. Nothing here follows you around the internet, and your
listening is whatever you told Unison you listened to — never scraped from an account somewhere
else.

YOURS, AS PUBLIC AS YOU SAY

Who can see the records you log and who can see what you wrote about them are two separate
settings, because they are two separate questions. Each can be private, limited to followers, or
public. A public log with private notes is a normal thing to want, and it works.

A CATALOGUE THAT FILLS ITSELF

Over 76,000 albums with artwork, 990,000 tracks and 6,400 artists — and if something is missing,
searching for it brings the whole discography in, usually in seconds. There is a button under every
set of results for whatever the results did not have.

Free. iPhone and iPad.
