[untitled] is a sacred place for work-in-progress music. It lives in the gap between the DAW and Spotify, where the real work happens.

Artists store, edit, share, and now sell their unreleased music on it, all in one thing: vertically integrated, mobile-first, designed for the artist.

The deeper bet is that this is a new medium, not a better set of tools. Music in progress is its own form of communication, and it has never had a place built for it.

Tommy Richman made “Million Dollar Baby,” a #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, on the app. Hayley Williams launched a Paid Project on it. Buddy Ross, who produces Frank Ocean, Bon Iver, and Travis Scott, shares snippets straight to Instagram Stories. Lorde dropped a project of 49 demos + notes for the 1 year anniversary of her 3rd album Virgin.

The work

We’re rebuilding the whole stack an artist uses, on a small team, to a standard that holds no friction. The hard problems are real:

End-to-end encryption for unreleased catalogs whose leaks would make news

On-device stem splitting

A version control system for audio files, the best of its kind

A real-time multiplayer DAW, as far as we can tell, a first

Cross-platform sync across iOS, macOS, web, and Android

A migration from Supabase to raw AWS, driven by the engineer who proposed it

Who’s here

A small, high-agency team. Two non-technical co-CEOs in the work every day: in the Figma files, the Slack threads, the listening sessions. The density right now is in engineering across iOS, backend, full-stack, and macOS, with product design alongside it and a few people on content, community, and operations.

The lineage is specific. Los Feliz Engineering, the team behind Honk and Family. The Browser Company. Meta. Ramp. Giphy. Figma. People who built things you can name, who joined because of taste.

If [untitled] works, it becomes one of the largest consumer companies of the decade. Either way, we will have given a generation of artists the best storage app in the world.

Is this for you?

You own what you build from start to finish, and you sit with the people who use it. The recording studio is one wall away and the artists are in the building, so when you ship something you hear how it landed within a day. Engineers here work across the whole product, from backend to interface, not one narrow slice. If that sounds like what you've been looking for, we should talk.
