1-bit has a new home
1-bit — the bit-exact DSD and PCM player for iOS — now has its own site at 1-bit.app. Here's what moved off ars.md, what stayed, and why the split made sense.
1-bit now has a place of its own on the web: 1-bit.app.
When I launched it back in April, the whole thing lived in a few pages tucked under ars.md/1-bit/. That was fine for a launch — one app, a couple of pages, no reason to overthink it. But it kept growing. A desktop bridge. Support docs and an FAQ. A privacy policy. A changelog that needed somewhere to live. At some point a product sharing a roof with my personal blog started to feel less like a feature and more like clutter.
So I gave it its own address.
What’s at 1-bit.app
Everything about the app, now under one roof:
- The app — what it is, what it plays, and the App Store link.
- The bridge — the little desktop companion that serves your library to the app.
- Support — setup, settings, and the FAQ.
- Changelog — every release, in one place.
- Privacy — the short version: it doesn’t phone home.
What stays here
The writing. ars.md is where I think out loud, and a lot of that thinking is about 1-bit — so the per-release notes and the how-tos stay right here on the blog:
Those are me figuring things out in public, not product copy. They belong with the blog, not the storefront — and new release posts will keep landing here too.
Nothing breaks
Every old ars.md/1-bit/… link now 301-redirects to its new home on 1-bit.app. Bookmarks, search results, links from these very posts — they all land in the right place. You don’t have to do anything.
The app itself hasn’t changed: same bit-exact audio path, same promise that what goes in comes out untouched. It just has a better address now.
