Resonance is a social music journal. Pick a song, tag a feeling, write a line — that's a moment. Your moments live on your profile and your friends'. • Capture moments. Hyped, in love, nostalgic, locked in, heartbroken. Pick from a deep emotion library and pair it with any song. • Decide who sees what. Public, followers only, or close friends only — set per moment. • Connect Spotify or Apple Music. Your library, recently played, and now-playing show up automatically. • Browse by mood. See what people wrote when they were feeling the same way. • Music compatibility. See how much your taste overlaps with each friend, with shared artists and shared songs surfaced. • Stats that mean something. Top moods, most-returned-to songs, longest streak, your year wrapped. • Time capsules. Write a moment now that unlocks weeks, months, or years from today. • Threads. Keep an ongoing music conversation with one person. Your account is private until you change it. Listening sharing is opt-in and separately controlled — off, close friends only, or mutuals. Block and report tools live on every moment. Spotify Premium gives you full playback control inside Resonance. Free Spotify accounts can still connect their library and listening history. Apple Music subscribers can link MusicKit on iOS for the same. Resonance is independent and ad-free.
