Laybell is where independent artists build a real audience. Post your music. Go live. Sell your beats. Get paid by the people who actually listen. MADE FOR MUSIC, NOT REPURPOSED FOR IT Upload songs, podcasts and audiobooks with real cover art and credits. Tag the producers, writers and features who worked on it — they get credited on the track, with a link back to their profile. SHARE HOWEVER YOU WANT Songs, videos, photo slideshows, and 24-hour stories. Attach another artist's track to your video and they get credited automatically. Shoot vertical or go full cinematic landscape — rotate your phone and the whole feed follows. GO LIVE Broadcast to your followers from your phone, or run a listening session from the studio with real vocal presets. Fans can tip you live, and everyone in the room sees it. Cast the whole thing to your TV. LAYBELL TV AND FILMS Turn your phone sideways for a full landscape feed built for watching, not scrolling. Films sit on their own shelf — full-length work up to an hour, from creators who make more than clips. Cast any of it to your TV. SELL YOUR WORK List beats and songs on your own storefront. Sell them outright, lease them, or give them away to fans who follow you. Buyers get the files instantly. GET PAID Fans can tip you directly. Your earnings, your shop sales and your payout details all live in one wallet. BUILD SOMETHING TOGETHER Genre communities with their own tags and moderators. Public playlists that credit the curator. Group chats. Friends are mutual follows, so your private posts stay with the people you actually know. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Laybell runs in 10 languages, and you can translate any comment, caption or message with one tap. PREMIUM Laybell Premium is optional. It gets you an ad-free feed, a bigger share of every tip, custom ordering on your music, deeper follower insights, half the ads in Reels and Music, and a monthly spotlight boost. Laybell Premium+ adds Films — landscape videos up to an hour, with their own shelf on Laybell TV — plus no ads anywhere in the app, unlimited offline downloads, and badges that hold while you're subscribed.

Grab a beat the moment you hear it — the Shop now checks out right in the app. A new Shop card in your feed helps you discover beats, songs, and more. Make your stories yours. Add music and choose exactly where the song starts and how long it plays. Draw and set a background on any story, move and rotate photos freely, and line things up with new center guides. See who unfollowed you. Premium now shows who unfollowed you and who doesn't follow you back, right from your followers list. Daily badges. Track your daily goals and streaks from your profile. Films. Premium+ members can post landscape videos up to an hour long. Plus the Hot Albums shelf, see-who-engaged on your posts, a smoother camera and story experience, faster music, and lots of polish and fixes. ### 1.0.7 — 2026-10-07 What's new in 1.0.7 Buy beats in one tap — you can now purchase a beat directly from the Shop, right when you find it. Quick and secure. See who's engaging — tap the like count on any post to see everyone who liked it. On your own posts you can also see who reposted and saved them. Quick-follow — found someone new in your stories tray? Follow them with a single tap, no profile visit needed. Also in this update: • A smoother story editor and viewer. • A friendly prompt to help new accounts finish setting up their profile. • Clearer, easier-to-read counts in dark mode. • Plenty of polish and bug fixes. Thanks for using Laybell! ### 1.0.6 — 2026-09-30 What's new in 1.0.6 A new camera — record your post in several clips and we'll stitch them into one, and film in time with a song so your lip-sync lands right. A fresh look — a redesigned dark theme in deep obsidian black, and a brighter, cleaner light theme. A refreshed Shop — the marketplace is easier to browse, with a cleaner layout and clearer pricing. Your wallet is now one tap from your profile, too. Also in this update: • A redesigned "go live" screen. • Your unread notification count now shows all the way up to 99+. • Cleaner playlist and music menus. • Plenty of polish and bug fixes. Thanks for using Laybell! ### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-25 What's new in 1.0.5 React — react to what you're watching. Record your take on any video or song and post it. Put yourself full-screen with the original in a small corner window, or flip it: the original full-screen with your reaction in the corner. Or react "after" — a slice of the original plays first, then your response. See who viewed your profile — a new list of who's been checking you out. It's your call whether to take part: turn it off any time, and you only see others when you share yours too. Also in this update: • Post analytics — tap ⋯ on any of your posts to see how it's doing: views, likes, comments, shares and saves, an engagement rate, views over time, and how the post stacks up against your average. • A faster, smoother app — quicker startup, snappier screens, smoother scrolling and lists, and animations that keep up with your finger. • Cleaner sound — only one thing plays at a time now, so a song and a video's audio never talk over each other, and songs on posts start faster. • Livelier Explore previews. • A complete-your-profile checklist and new badges to earn. • Plenty of polish and bug fixes. Thanks for using Laybell! ### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-15 POST NOW, OR LATER Schedule a post for the moment you want it seen, any time in the next 30 days. It goes up on its own, even with Laybell closed, and the people you tagged or mentioned hear about it right then. Until it does, change the time, post it early or edit it from Scheduled. EDIT AFTER YOU POST Change a post after it's up: the caption, who's tagged, the genre, who can see it and its song. On a video, reopen the editor to adjust its on-screen text, music, sound and cover. Everything but the video itself. SAVE THE FINISHED VIDEO When your video posts, Laybell can keep a copy in your camera roll: trimmed, with its song mixed in and its captions on. Ready to share anywhere. It's on by default, under Advanced settings. A NICER WAY TO POST Videos open straight into one editor for text, music, sound and cover, and you can record one right in Laybell: the camera in the composer is the same camera as Stories. Sharing ends with a little celebration and a quick way to see or share what you just posted, and closing a post you haven't finished offers to save it as a draft. CAPTIONS THAT HIT THEIR MOMENT Add text and emoji to your videos (on horizontal ones they sit above and below the picture) and choose exactly when each one appears and leaves. Your clip plays right in the editor: scrub to the moment, drag the ends of a caption's bar, and watch it land just the way your followers will see it. YOUR SONG, YOUR MIX Pick the part of a song that plays on your video — the chorus, the drop, wherever it hits — instead of always starting from the top. Set the song's volume and your video's own sound separately, so your voice and the music can both be heard. The song starts at your part when your video starts, and comes back to it every time the video loops. VIDEO THAT KNOWS WHEN YOU HAVE STEPPED AWAY Video used to keep playing for as long as a phone was left on it — looping over and over, holding the screen awake, and using battery and data with nobody watching. Now, once your phone has sat untouched for a few minutes, the previews that play on their own in your feed and on profiles pause right where they are, and carry on from the same spot the moment you touch the screen. A video you opened yourself plays to its end and stops there instead of starting over, so nothing you are actually watching gets cut off partway. Reels keep auto-scrolling, and Laybell TV keeps playing, hands-free for up to an hour without a tap. After that they stop instead of playing on to an empty room — and on AirPlay, Laybell TV asks whether you are still watching. EXPLORE, LIGHTER Explore previews are now moving stills: a few moments from each video, gently cross-fading. They look alive, load quickly and use a fraction of the data. Tap one to watch the real thing. Videos also no longer keep playing out of sight behind a screen you open on top of them. ## Apps similar to Laybell | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [GigShare Live](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gigshare-live/id6774781286) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Music | | [Artist Empire](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/artist-empire/id6794245737) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Music | | [WillsRecord](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/willsrecord/id6787533994) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Music | | [DJ RON DON](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dj-ron-don/id1102980475) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Music | | [VibeQueue](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/vibequeue/id6759801098) | — | Free | Music | | [TrackID - Pro Music Workflows](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/trackid-pro-music-workflows/id6755243214) | — | Free | Music | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
