Case study · Consumer app

The world's independent radio, in one player.

unify.fm brings independent stations from around the world into one app, with live chat and song identification, on the web, iPhone, and Android. The studio built it and runs it, and it is gaining listeners.

What it is

An internet radio aggregator: independent stations from around the world, chat, and song identification

Where

Web app, iPhone and Android apps, and the service behind them

Studio's role

Everything: product, design, apps, the service that reads station feeds, hosting, and the brand

Status

Live and growing, with a marketing push underway

In use

The same product on a laptop and in a pocket.

The unify.fm charts page with top stations, newly identified tracks, and the player bar

Charts built from what people actually play

Top stations by minutes listened, the tracks listeners identified this month, and the artists in the crate. Every number comes from real listening, not an algorithm, and the player keeps running underneath.

The same charts page at phone width with the player docked at the bottom

Designed for the phone first

The web app collapses to a phone layout with the player docked at the bottom, and the native iPhone and Android apps share the same service, so favorites, chat, and track IDs are the same everywhere.

The unify.fm landing page

A brand, not just a utility

Independent radio has a culture, and the product looks like it belongs to it. The landing page, the app, and the social channels were designed together.

What it shows

One product that behaves the same on every screen.

Radio stations publish their streams in dozens of inconsistent ways. unify.fm reads all of them, keeps them playing reliably, and presents them as one clean library. The web app and the phone apps share the same service, so a station you favorite on your laptop is there on your phone, and chat is the same room everywhere.

Running a consumer app means handling the things a demo never shows: streams that go down at 3am, app store reviews, phones that change every year. We have done all of that for our own product, which is why we can promise it for yours.
