For those who listen with attention
Every record
deserves
a log.
A private-first album diary for logging what you heard, what it meant, and who put you onto it. Built for ratings, reviews, lists, and the long memory of full records.

"The quietest Radiohead album somehow feels enormous. Every repeat makes the strings, silence, and dread land harder."

"A record about memory that keeps changing shape while you listen. It sounds private without ever feeling small."
@theo.crates2 APR · 2026SZA · 2022

"Messy, generous, funny, wounded. The sprawl is part of the argument — it plays like a whole month of thoughts."

"Still brutally efficient. No wasted motion, no fake mystique, just a room tone that became a whole era."

Manifesto
Conversation between people
who actually listened.
who actually listened.
01
The album as a unit.
Not the loose track, not the playlist. The whole record, with beginning, middle, and end — the way it was intended.
02
Opinion with substance.
Reviews written by people who listened — not anonymous stars, not synthetic engagement, not viral bait.
03
Your memory, not a profile.
Tonearm keeps what you listened to, when you listened, and what you thought. A personal diary before it is a social network.
04
Human curation.
Lists, rankings, and discoveries come from your circle — people you chose to follow, not an algorithm optimizing retention.
Who it is for
You already have a player.

Tonearm doesn't play music. It tracks what you hear — and what you think. Works with any streaming service, vinyl, CD, tape, or open radio.
Listener type
The archivist
You want the listening history to stay legible.
Dates, formats, ratings, and notes stay attached to the record, so your catalog becomes a memory you can actually read.
Listener type
The reviewer
You need more room than a score.
Write the take, sharpen the thought, and keep it connected to the album instead of letting it disappear into a feed.
Listener type
The collector
You move between streaming and physical media.
Vinyl, CD, tape, radio, downloads, and streaming can live in one diary without pretending they are the same ritual.
Listener type
The friend with taste
You trust people more than charts.
Follow the listeners whose habits matter to you, then discover through their logs, lists, and reviews.
