About scrobble.life

Music with memory.

scrobble.lifeis a free service that keeps a record of what you listen to and watch — your music, films, TV, anime, books, and podcasts — and writes that record to a public blockchain you own, rather than to a company database you don't. The word scrobble has meant "log a track you played" since the early Last.fm days; we kept the word and changed where the data lives.

How it works

The Hive Scrobbler browser extension watches the music and video you play across the sites you already use and records each finished play as a small entry. Those entries are broadcast to the Hive blockchain — a public, feeless network maintained by thousands of independent computers. Because the record is on-chain, it is permanent, portable between any app that reads Hive, and genuinely yours: no single company, us included, can quietly delete it, sell it, or lock you out of it.

This website is where that history comes to life. You get listening and watching stats, per-artist and per-title pages that aggregate what the whole community has played, a built-in player, daily music games, and — the part we care most about right now — community reviews.

Community reviews

Anyone can write a longform review of a film, show, anime, book, or album and publish it to Hive straight from scrobble.life. Each review is a real post, owned by its author, that can earn on-chain rewards from readers' votes — and it gets its own page here so other people can find and read it. Our growing reviews collection is the heart of the site: honest, human writing about the things people actually watched and listened to, not algorithmic filler.

Who builds it

scrobble.life is an independent project built by and for the Hive community. It is small and personally run — there is no ad-tech company behind it and no venture funding steering it. Development is funded by the Hive community and, on our companion game, by optional advertising (see our Privacy Notice).
