It’s also suitable for artist portfolios, personal music sharing centers, and any other music-related websites you can imagine! To enhance functionality further, we offer a continuously growing suite of premium & free plugins!

RKHM - Audio Streaming Platform - 1

“really” Multipurpose

Some example use cases:

The “Spotify” Model (Subscription & Royalties): Build a premium streaming service where users pay a monthly subscription for unlimited access, and you distribute royalty fees to verified artists based on their unique stream counts
The “iTunes” Digital Store: Create a digital marketplace where independent artists can verify their identity, upload their own artwork, and sell tracks or albums per item while you take a transaction fee
Ad-Supported Community Platform: Allow your user base to upload, share, and stream content entirely for free. Monetize the traffic through audio and banner ads, then incentivize users to purchase a premium subscription simply to disable the advertisements
The “Freemium” Quality Paywall: Offer lower-quality media streaming for free to attract users, while securely locking high-fidelity audio behind a premium subscription plan
Local & Network Music Manager: Because the core logic is kept light and dependency-free, the platform can easily be deployed privately on a home server or NAS as a lightning-fast, highly responsive local media manager for personal collections
Gamified Music Network: Cultivate a highly active music community by rewarding users with custom medals, points, and unique roles based on their interaction, uploads, and library curation
Podcast & Audiobook Hub: Move beyond music. Utilize the robust categorization system, custom pages, and offline PWA capabilities to host a specialized, fully automated hub for podcasts or audiobooks ( Requires premium plugins )
Exclusive Fan Club / Patreon Alternative: Bands and creators can run their own gated community—offering behind-the-scenes audio, early access streams, exclusive merch/digital downloads, and member-only push notifications while keeping 100% of their revenue

Key Features

Progressive Web App

Works offline!: Thanks to Service-workers and Local-storage on browsers, users can download content to their device and access them while offline
Cheaper: More Javascript and background processing on user device means this app needs significantly lesser server resources compared to regular websites
Faster: PWA means separate API, more Javascript, smarter caching and background processing, which makes the app significantly faster for everyone
Safer: A dedicated REST API for PWA means lesser chance of SQL-injection, Session-hijacking, Brute-force and DDOS attacks compared to a regular website or even native apps
Installable: Major browsers allow users to ‘install’ PWA on their device, which adds your project shortcut to users’ device. They don’t have to open a browser to access your app
Push Notifications: You want to create FOMO which makes users addicted to your app. With PWA you can send Push notifications even if user has closed your app just like native apps
Cross Platform: All features are available on all devices and browsers. We offer native apps for major operating systems but do you need them when your app is already awesome?
Auto Updates: Unlike native apps, users don’t need to download anything to use PWA. Everything including app updates are done within app by the app! Content get downloaded as users explore
Smart caching: All modern browsers do have caching functionalities by default but in a PWA, caching is too important to be handled by browser. We have carefully programmed service-workers for that
