What this is, and isn't.
Most radio Chrome extensions try to be everything: thousands of stations, search, custom URL fields, country browsers. Tonearm goes the opposite direction. Eight stations, hand-picked, all instrumental or near-instrumental, all working for sustained focus. There's no station directory, no scanning, no genre browsing. The product is the curation. If you want to channel-surf the global FM dial, this isn't the right tool — try TuneIn or radio.garden. If you want to stop deciding and start working, you're in the right place.

Compared to TuneIn-style radio apps.
TuneIn, radio.garden, and Online Radio Box are great for exploring radio globally. They give you tens of thousands of stations, country browsers, search, recommendations. They optimize for breadth — Tonearm optimizes for the opposite. Three differences worth naming:

Curated, not searchable
You can't add a station. We picked the eight that matter for our users; that's the product.
Toolbar, not tab
Other radio sites live in tabs. Tabs get closed, refreshed, lost. Toolbar buttons don't.
No account
No login wall, no "favorite stations" sync, no tracking. The settings panel is what you'd expect: an explanation of what we don't collect.
FAQ.
Can I add my own station?
Not at launch. The constraint is the product — eight stations is the whole offering. User-added stations are in v2 territory.
Why only Chrome, not Firefox or Edge?
Chrome's Web Store is where we're starting. Firefox and Edge are likely v2; Safari is harder for technical reasons (different extension API).
Is there a Mac app?
A native menu-bar app for macOS is in development — see Tonearm for Mac.
What's different from your other landing pages?
Same product, different angle. Focus music goes deeper on instrumental-for-deep-work; music for coding talks dev workflows; ambient sounds for focus covers atmospheric texture.
