I always wanted whole-home audio: the same music in the kitchen, the living room, and out on the patio, all playing together and all sounding good. Every way to get it came with the same catch. Buy new speakers for every room. Add a receiver. Run wires. Spend a small fortune on hardware to solve what is really a timing problem.
But my house already had speakers I liked, and plenty of devices that could drive them — a laptop, a smart TV, a tablet, a couple of old phones in a drawer. None of it needed replacing. It just needed a way to play together.
So I built one. I'm a solo developer, and Home Audio Sync is my answer to a problem that usually takes a lot of money to fix: software that syncs the technology you already have, so the only thing you need to add is the music.
Sign in at homeaudiosync.com and start a room. Everything runs in the browser — on iPhone, Android, laptops, and many smart TVs.
Open the site on each device, or scan the room's QR code. Connect a device to a speaker you already own and that speaker joins the system too.
The same song starts in every room and stays in step. Phones, tablets, and laptops sync tightest; TVs and Bluetooth speakers add a little delay of their own.
Home Audio Sync was built for your own music — the collection you've gathered over the years, uploaded once and played in every room the way you like it. That's still the best way to hear it.
But a lot of people don't keep their music as files anymore; it lives inside streaming apps. So there are other ways to fill the house with sound:
Search thousands of public stations, keep the ones you like, and hear the same broadcast in every room.

Curated playlists you can press play on right away, with nothing to upload first.
That's the goal. I keep finding new ways to use Home Audio Sync — parties, silent discos, assistive listening, even Christmas light shows. If you've found a way to use it, or wish it did something it doesn't, I'd like to hear about it.
