About Dustic

What is Dustic?

Dustic is a minimalist audio player that streams music, audiobooks, podcasts, and other audio content directly from the Internet Archive. Browse millions of free audio recordings, from live concerts to historical radio programs, all in a clean, modern interface.

Install as an App

Dustic is a Progressive Web App (PWA), which means you can install it on your device and use it like a native app. Once installed, it works offline for your saved content and provides a full-screen experience without browser UI.

On iPhone/iPad:

  1. Open Dustic in Safari (not Chrome or other browsers)
  2. Tap the Share button (square with arrow pointing up)
  3. Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen"
  4. Tap "Add" to confirm

On Android:

  1. Open Dustic in Chrome
  2. Tap the menu (three dots) in the top-right corner
  3. Tap "Add to Home screen" or "Install app"
  4. Tap "Install" to confirm

After installation, Dustic will appear on your home screen with its icon and can be launched like any other app on your device.

Creator

Dustic is developed by Essi Parent.

Audio Source

All audio content is streamed from the Internet Archive (archive.org), a non-profit digital library offering free access to millions of historical and cultural artifacts. Dustic does not host any audio files - it simply provides a convenient interface to discover and play content from the Internet Archive's vast collection.

Visit Internet Archive

Content Disclaimer

All content available through Dustic is served directly from the Internet Archive. The creator of Dustic is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of any audio files or metadata provided by the Internet Archive. Questions or concerns about specific content should be directed to the Internet Archive.

Privacy & Data Collection

No data collection. Dustic does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information on external servers. Your listening activity is completely private.

All your data (favorites, playlists, listening history, and settings) is stored locally in your browser's cache using localStorage. This means:

  • Your data never leaves your device
  • No account or login required
  • Your privacy is fully protected
  • Data persists across browser sessions

Account-free design: To keep the app simple and privacy-focused, there is no cloud infrastructure or account system to sync profiles between devices. However, you can export and import your profile using the buttons in Settings → Profile Data to transfer your data between devices.

Important: Backup Your Profile

While your data is automatically saved in your browser's cache, it can be lost if you:

  • Clear your browser's cache or data
  • Use private/incognito mode
  • Uninstall or reset your browser
  • Switch browsers or devices

We strongly recommend downloading your profile regularly to avoid losing your favorites, playlists, and listening history.

You can download and upload your profile using the buttons in the sidebar's Profile Manager section.
