Numa installs from your browser — no app store, no signup. Once it's on your home screen it behaves like any audio app: full-bleed, lock-screen controls, background playback.
No browser chrome, no URL bar. Just Numa.
Track metadata and controls on your lock screen, same as Apple Music or Spotify.
Switch apps, lock your phone, take a call. Audio doesn't stop.
No app store review queue. New features land the moment we ship them.
Three short steps on whatever you use. The destination is the same: Numa, one tap away, every time.

We'd rather ship updates the day we write them than wait for a review queue. The web gets us there faster, and you get new features sooner.
Only while you're actively listening — same as Spotify. Around 60MB per hour at our default 192kbps stream. Lock the phone, keep listening.
Same way as any app — long-press and remove. Nothing is stored locally beyond a tiny bit of player state.
No. Open it, hit play. Requests and shoutouts work without an account too.
Open the page in your real browser — not in-app browsers like Instagram or X, where the option is hidden.
