TorricYour key is your account
The app makes a key on your phone. Pick an @handle and write down your recovery phrase. That’s the whole sign-up: no email, no password.
Music, passed around.
Torric is a music app and a social space in one. Post the song you can’t stop playing, follow people whose taste you trust, start a group for your scene. And the music itself travels between listeners’ phones, not out of one company’s servers.
Coming soon to Android & iOS
How it works ↓
A key, not an email
No ads. No tracking.
Phone to phone
See it in your hand
Talk about the song while it’s playing
Tap a song card in your feed and it plays right there, fetched from three phones that hold it.
Share what you’re hearing
From any track’s menu: Share in a post, write a line, and it’s at the top of Social.
A room for your scene
A group’s posts, shared playlists anyone in it can add to, and its members and mods.
No signal? Still social.
No service: phones around appear over Bluetooth, and a track comes over Wi-Fi from the phone that has it.
Radio from one song
Start radio from a track and the queue fills. Drag to reorder.
No middleman for the music
01
02
Listeners carry the music
Tracks travel between phones over BitTorrent. You choose how much storage to share, and that space keeps music available for the next listener.
03
Everyone holds the catalog
The catalog is a signed file every phone keeps a copy of, so search keeps working even when our servers don’t.
04
Servers help, they don’t own
Posts, playlists and profiles are records signed by your key. Our servers store and pass them on, but they can’t forge them.
No signal? Still social.
On a train, at a festival, in a basement venue. Nearby uses Bluetooth to reach the phones around you, with or without internet.
- A room for whoever’s close. Anonymous by default: you’re “anon-3f2a” until you choose to say who you are.
- Private talks. End-to-end encrypted, and your @handle is shown only to people you choose.
- Group chats of up to 32. For your crew at the show.
- Tracks, hand to hand. If you opt in, your phone carries catalog tracks for others and passes them on over a fast Wi-Fi link.
Built so there’s nothing to sell
No ads, no tracking
No analytics, no advertising IDs, no data brokers. We don’t collect what we’d have no use for.
Moderated in the open
Report and block are a tap away. Takedowns are signed by our moderators, and every copy of the app honours them.

On Android and iOS, soon
We’re testing Torric on real phones now. This page will say when you can install it.
01 / Social
Talk about the song while it’s playing
Every post can carry a song. Tap the card and it plays right there, and your queue carries on from it. Reply, repost, like, edit a typo. Feeds run in order: nothing decides what you see except the people you follow.
this has been on repeat since the rain started. wait for the drop at 1:40
that bassline. adding it to the sunday playlist
Recorded the tram depot at 5am. The whole set goes up tonight.
Feeds
Following shows you, the people you follow and what they repost. Everyone shows the whole room, newest first.
Profiles
An @handle, a short bio and a pattern drawn from your key. No profile photos, so there are no faces to scrape.
Groups
Start one for your scene, your city or your band. Owners choose mods, and mods keep it on topic.
Inbox
Replies, mentions, follows, likes and reposts in one place, so you never miss who heard what you shared.
Playlists that travel
Make one on your phone and it follows you to your other devices. Make it public and anyone can play it.
Radio from a song
Start from one track and keep going. Artist and album pages, a queue you can rearrange, controls on the lock screen.
Block and mute
Block ends follows both ways and keeps the two of you apart. Mute just quietens someone. Both are a tap away.
