Homeplate is a free service for local artists — and anyone with something to share — to connect with the community right around them. No fees, no algorithm, no catch. Just your scene, in one place.
Homeplate doesn't stream from a global library and it never will. Everything you play is media that actually lives near you — the files on your machine, the artists in your area, the producers in your scene. If Homeplate ever grows, it grows by area, neighborhood by neighborhood. We're not building another infinite feed. We're building a home plate.
The tracks that live with you — pick up right where you left off, find rising local artists, and tap into a community space where the people around you upload and stream to their own scene.
A clean, fast player built for the people who actually make the music — and the people right next to them who play it.
Point Homeplate at the music on your machine and it just plays. No upload, no sync to a cloud, no account required to listen to what's yours.
Beats, stems, demos, finished cuts — organize and play the work in progress alongside the released stuff. Built by people who make music, for people who make music.
Discovery never leaves your region. The artists you find are the ones playing the same rooms you do. Local stays local — by design, forever.
Use whatever tools help you make your best work — AI-assisted is welcome. But a living human has to be on it: performing, producing, writing. Fully AI-generated tracks aren't what Homeplate is for, and we scan uploads for them. The personal touch — your hands on the work — is what we feature, surface, and champion. Real people, real scenes.
No sign-up wall, no streaming subscription. Homeplate is yours and it runs on your terms.
Drop in the tracks already on your device. Homeplate reads them in place — nothing gets uploaded anywhere.
Albums, playlists, liked tracks, skins and a real player. The classic feel, tuned for the way producers actually listen.
As Homeplate grows in your region, the local artists and producers around you show up. Your scene, in your pocket.
In a world that keeps finding new ways to divide us — by feed, by algorithm, by whoever's loudest today — the antidote isn't more internet, it's the people right around you. Music has always been the thing that pulls a room together, and the best of it is being made down the street: by your neighbors, in their bedrooms and basements and back-room studios, for no reason other than they had something to say. Homeplate is a home for that — a place where local artists and the people who love them can actually find each other, hear each other, and build something real in their own backyard. No fees, no gatekeepers, no shouting match. Just your scene, the music it's making, and a community that knows your name.
Homeplate is in early access for local artists and producers. Get on the list and we'll bring it to your area.
