About Set

You hear something unreal forty minutes into a DJ set. Later you want it back, or you want one friend to hear it. Today that means remembering a timestamp and texting “skip to 47:10”, which never stops where you want it to.

Set fixes that. Press Clip on the moment, trim it, then Keep it in your crates or Send it. The link plays exactly that bit, on repeat, for anyone, with no app and no account.

Set is built by Siddhant Tiwary, a student at The University of Texas at Austin, in Austin, Texas. It started as a fix for one group chat’s endless “skip to” texts. Every message sent through Feedback is read by the person building it.

Say hi, pitch an idea or report a problem: our feedback page.

Set never stores, copies or serves audio. Every set and every moment plays from its original upload through SoundCloud’s or YouTube’s official player, so the plays count for the artist and the channel that posted it. A moment is only a bookmark: which set, where it starts, where it ends.

• Do I need an account?
  No. Keep and send moments straight away; they stay on this device. Sign in only if you want your moments on every device.
• Does my friend need the app?
  No. A sent moment is a link. It opens in any browser and plays the bit you picked, on repeat. They can keep it with one tap.
• Why are there no song names?
  On purpose, for now. Sets are full of unreleased music and IDs, and plenty of tools already hunt names. Set is about the moment itself: you name it however you remember it.
• Where does the audio come from?
  The original upload on SoundCloud or YouTube, through their official players. Set doesn’t host music.
• Can I add a set that isn’t here?
  Yes. Use Add Sets to search SoundCloud or paste a link (15 minutes or longer). It plays right away; its shape fills in a few minutes later.
• Is it free?
  Yes.
• Something’s broken, or a set should come down.
  Tell us on the feedback page. Artists and rights holders can ask for a set or moment to be removed; see the Terms.
