About

RangerHQ Tuner is a lightweight indie internet radio player that lives in your Chrome toolbar. It plays SomaFM's listener-supported indie radio network and logs every track that comes through so you can find your favourites later.

✦ Toolbar player — click the helmet icon, pick a station, music starts. Audio keeps playing after the popup closes.
✦ New Tab Page — every new tab becomes a Tuner landing with live clock, station picker, history, and favourites. (Optional; replaces Chrome's default new tab.)
✦ Track history — RangerHQ Tuner logs the artist and title of every track that plays on SomaFM, up to 500 tracks (configurable 50–500).
✦ One-click search to the big four — next to every history entry, four buttons open public search results in a new tab: *Spotify*, *YouTube*, *Apple Music*, and *Bandcamp*. No accounts, no API keys, no Premium required. You find the track; the destination service plays it.
✦ Favourites — star any heard track to keep it forever.
✦ Settings page — clear history, clear favourites, clear everything, adjust the history cap, see how much local storage RangerHQ Tuner is using.

Privacy
RangerHQ Tuner collects no personal data. Nothing leaves your device. All history, favourites, and settings live in `chrome.storage.local` on your own machine. The only external server contacted is SomaFM's public API. No telemetry, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. Full policy: https://davidtkeane.com/rangerhq-tuner/privacy
