Personal radio, on your wavelength
Your music.
Briefings
made for you.
Mochi is personal radio that combines Spotify, YouTube or local music with source-backed news and weather you control.
The music you love. A little more you.
1 Set up YouTube
Paste any public YouTube video or playlist you want to hear.
How to use YouTube
- In YouTube or YouTube Music, find a video or playlist you already want to hear. Signing in there is optional and happens with YouTube, not Mochi.
- Use Share then Copy link. A normal video link, shortened
youtu.belink, or playlist link works. - A YouTube Music search page helps you browse, but cannot play here. Choose a result there, then paste its video or playlist link above and choose Load music.
- When a bulletin begins, Mochi pauses this visible YouTube player and starts it again when the bulletin ends. If your browser blocks that restart, use YouTube’s own Play button.
2 Choose your bulletins
Choose News, Weather, both, or neither. Bulletins follow your clock: every 15 minutes means :00, :15, :30 and :45.
News
Source-backed stories shaped around your interests.
Weather
A short local forecast, built from live weather data.

Help me choose up to four enduring interests for a personal radio bulletin. Infer only interests likely to stay useful for several months. Prioritise practical, professional and creative interests, plus subjects I actively follow. Do not include sensitive details unless I explicitly ask. Reply with JSON only, in this shape: {"topics":[{"name":"...","weight":1,"angle":"..."}],"bulletin_style":"relaxed|radio|quick"}. Keep each topic short and concrete. I will paste the JSON into Mochi Radio myself.On pauses the current song when a bulletin is due. Off lets the song finish, then plays the bulletin before the next song.
On by default. Plays the short Mochi sting before news bulletins.
On by default. After Spotify or YouTube content starts, Mochi stores its provider, title and artist or channel with a random browser ID for up to 90 days, and adds it to one shared counter. This can group plays from the same browser but does not identify a person or account. Local files are never included.

Mochi keeps only the latest 20 scheduled handoffs in this browser. They contain timing, generic player states, playlist-index changes and queue results—not video IDs, titles, account data, locations or listener identifiers—and are never sent to Mochi or analytics.
Keep Mochi close.
Install it from your browser after your station feels right.
