hearth

Now

The first working effort. A local, non-custodial donation-intent app that turns your listening data into direct support for musicians — you decide who to support, find direct payout routes, and track what you were able to pay.

The hard line

hearth does not send money. It never touches payment rails, holds funds, or automates transfers. It helps you decide and track — that’s “direct over mediated” made concrete.

Why — how it works

• Bring in your listening data.
• Resolve it into artists, and enrich with payout routes where possible.
• Slice the history — by time, popularity, follower count, release year.
• Draft a payout plan in CAD (a preview, not yet saved).
• Finalise it as a goal.
• Record the real payouts, skip who you can’t pay yet, and recalculate what’s left.

Prototype state — built with the cohort, on real data, before any platform.
