Our manifesto

Music deserves better tools.

Not louder algorithms.
Not tighter lock-in.
Not systems that forget why you cared about a track in the first place.

We believe music collections matter

A music library is memory, taste, work, and time.
It’s discovery trails, late nights, failed experiments, and moments that stuck.

Treating that as disposable data is lazy design.

Your music shouldn’t disappear because a platform changes its mind.
Your organization shouldn’t live behind opaque systems you can’t inspect or move.

Tangle is built around:

No hidden magic. No silent changes.

People don’t organize music in straight lines.
They think in moods, contexts, overlaps, and exceptions.

Folders break. Tags flex.
Tangle is designed to let your system evolve without collapsing.

Automation is cheap. Undo is hard.

We’d rather move slower than break your library.
We’d rather ask than assume.
We’d rather show you what’s happening than do it behind your back.

Tangle doesn’t replace DJs, platforms, scenes, or communities.
It sits on top of them, quietly helping things make sense.

No feeds. No rankings. No noise.

Tangle is built for people who plan to care about music for years, not weeks.

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
