Private by default

Nothing you listen to, search for, or control leaves your browser without a reason. Lyrics are off until you turn them on. Only then does the extension ask for permission to reach an external lyrics source.

The remote control runs peer-to-peer. The pairing code never touches a server: it becomes the AES-GCM key that encrypts every frame on the wire, end to end. No analytics. No account. No tracking.
