Press play on the beats you're sent, no account needed.

Beats come in as zip files to download and links that want you to sign up before you hear a thing. A vvault link plays in your browser in one tap, and you download or buy only what the producer makes available.

Open the link, press play

A producer sends you a vvault link, in a DM or an email. Open it and the beats play in your browser, on your phone or your computer. No app to install, no account to make.

If the producer made the link invite only, you sign in first, so vvault can check you're the person they invited. Any other vvault link plays without an account.

What you can do with a beat you like

Download it

If the producer made the beat downloadable, download it right from the page. They choose which beats can be downloaded.

Save it

Save a beat or a pack to your own vvault library to find it again later. Saving asks you to sign in to your vvault account. Listening never costs you anything.

Buy it

When the producer sells it, buy the licence you need on the page, by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and get a licence PDF in your name.

Find the producer

Their page, vvault.app/theirname, shows their public packs and beats, their placement credits and their socials.

Buying

Buy a beat, with a licence in your name

On vvault, a producer can sell a beat, a pack or a kit with their own licences: MP3, WAV, stems or exclusive. Each licence spells out its limits, like streams or music videos, so read what it allows before you pay.

You pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Stripe, get your files, and get a licence PDF in your name with the producer's terms. Keep it: it's your proof of what you bought.

Plainly

What the producer sees when you press play

Seeing who played is what vvault is for. When you play, download, save or buy a beat from a vvault link or email, the producer who sent it sees it.

They see your name when you're signed in to vvault, or when they emailed you the beat from vvault. Otherwise you show up as a listener who isn't signed in. On Pro and Ultra, they also see how long you listened, beat by beat, and whether you opened their email.

If you'd rather not be counted at all, don't open the link: vvault's privacy policy says it plainly.

“If you open a vvault-powered email or a shared link, the person who sent it can see those events.”

Questions

Do I need a vvault account to listen?

No. A vvault link plays in your browser. Only an invite-only link asks you to sign in, so vvault can check you're the person the producer invited.

Does the producer know I listened?

Yes. When you play, download, save or buy, the producer who sent it sees it: with your name when you're signed in to vvault or they emailed it to you from vvault, otherwise as a listener who isn't signed in.

Can I release a song on a beat I downloaded?

Only if the producer's terms allow it. A download on its own isn't a licence: check what the producer offers, buy the licence that covers your release, or ask them.

What do I get when I buy a beat?

The files that come with the licence you picked, and a licence PDF in your name with the producer's terms. For a big deal, have a lawyer read the terms first.

Can I put my own music on vvault?

Yes, the same way producers do: everything you upload starts private, with unlimited storage on Pro and Ultra. See pricing.
