Daypart hands you a real radio station to make your own — your podcasts, your stations, your music, shaped into the hours of your day. Set it once; from then on you just press play, and it runs itself.
Somewhere along the way, listening turned into work. Libraries to manage, queues to build, endless walls of artwork asking you to choose again. Daypart splits that work the way a real station does — between the person who programmes it and the presenter who runs it.
You make the decisions that matter, once: what goes in, the shape of your day, the mood of each hour. Then you hand over the desk. Press play and Daypart presents your station live — a track, a station ident, the morning's podcast segment, another track — pacing itself to the hour you're in. The station is unmistakably yours; you just don't have to run it.
Programmed by you.Presented for you.Yours alone.
Every station is built from the same six blocks, in the same order. Each one knows its hour — its mood, its pace, the mix of talk and music it leans on — and programmes itself accordingly. You move the boundaries; the day stays whole.
Drag any boundary in the app and the two neighbours move together — so the day is always twenty-four hours, with no gaps and no dead air.
The shape sets the hours. Moods and themes set the feel. Turn them and the Programmer hears it — reaching for different sources, pacing differently, colouring the day and the week to taste.
Give a daypart a mood and the Programmer leans into it — warmer and slower over Breakfast, brighter and busier through Mornings, quiet to nothing by Sleep. The same sources, drawn on differently.
Set a theme for each day and a gentle arc runs across your whole station — something to lean into on a Monday, something to wind down with by the weekend. The shape holds; the colour shifts.
Daypart only ever plays from the open audio world — the parts of it that are actually yours to listen to and reshape. Point it at what you love; it does the rest.
Any open RSS feed. Daypart knows each show's release cadence, so Tuesday's episode is waiting for you on Tuesday — slotted into the right hour, not buried in a list.
Public stations from around the world. Drop one in as a live anchor for a daypart, and the stream hands off to it the way an old dial used to find a frequency.
Creative Commons and independent catalogues — Free Music Archive, Jamendo and the like. Real artists, cleared to play, woven between the talk.
A deliberate line in the sand: Daypart never touches the big commercial catalogues. No Spotify, no Apple Music, no YouTube. Just audio that's free to be broadcast — which is what lets it behave like a radio station instead of a playlist.
Give a daypart a length and a mood and the Programmer — Daypart's DJ brain — assembles it like a real broadcast director would: an order of real segments that fits the time exactly and breathes between talk and music.
It paces the hour, hands off cleanly from one piece to the next, and keeps things from clumping — two long talks back to back, the same artist twice too soon. You never see the seams. You just hear a station that sounds like it was made for the moment you pressed play.
There's no account to make and no server to sign into, because there isn't a server at all. Your stations, your sources, the shape of your day — they live on your device and nowhere else.
Daypart has no analytics, no tracking, and no way to see what you listen to. The only thing that ever leaves your phone is the request to fetch a podcast or a stream you've chosen — straight from its source, the same as any podcast app.
