HONGEET was built to solve a simple problem:
βWhy is it so hard to just listen to music the way I want?β
Most modern music apps lock downloads behind paywalls, track your data aggressively, or break completely when you go offline. HONGEET does the opposite.
Hongeet is a music player that supports offline local audio playback and optional streaming from third-party services such as YouTube Music and JioSaavn β giving you full control over how and where you listen.
