An example listening profile
This is what Stick builds from your listening history. Everything below is a worked example for an imaginary listener with about three years of plays imported from Last.fm, Spotify and Apple Music. Your own profile is private and looks just like this, computed entirely from your own plays.

At a glance
Stick keeps a running total of everything you've ever played. No more guessing how much you actually listened this year. Every count below is derived from the raw plays, de-duplicated across services so a song you heard once isn't counted three times.
Top of the last 12 months
The charts you actually want: who you really listened to, ranked by play count over a window you choose. In the app you can flip between the last 7, 30, 90, 180 and 365 days; here's a year of this example listener's habits.

Your listening clock
When do you actually listen? Stick lays out every play across the days of the week and the hours of the day, so the shape of your week shows up at a glance: the mid-morning work blocks, the long Sunday afternoons, the late Friday nights. Darker cells mean more plays in that hour.
Busiest block for this listener: Saturday afternoon and weekday mid-mornings.
Streaks
A streak is every consecutive day with at least one play. Stick tracks your current run and your all-time best, so a daily habit you didn't know you had becomes something you can actually see.
Plays by year
Import a decade of history and you can watch your listening rise and fall year by year: the quiet years and the ones you couldn't stop pressing play.
Genre breakdown
Every track is matched against MusicBrainz, so Stick can roll your plays up into the genres you actually lean on, with no manual tagging required.
How a profile like this gets built
- Bring in your history. Upload a Last.fm CSV, a Spotify data export, or an Apple Music activity file. Or connect Apple Music live and let Stick record plays as you listen.
- Stick cleans it up. Duplicate plays of the same song across services are merged, and every track is matched against MusicBrainz so album art and genres fill in automatically.
- Your stats appear. Top artists, albums and tracks, streaks, a listening clock, plays by year, and weekly recommendations, all computed from your own plays and yours to export at any time.
