9tube - Enjoy moments of ultimate relaxation and entertainment
Stories
In an era where online music and video streaming have become essential, 9Tube emerges as a solution that allows users to listen to music and watch videos for free, without interruptions.
The Need for Healing & the Dream of Owning a Product
The founder started with a vision to create a healing and stress-relieving music space – a form of mental therapy. Music is a powerful stress reliever, but the founder realized that something more was needed: a soft, intimate space, free from industrial rigidity.
The founder designed 9Tube to focus on comfort and relaxation, where music and interface blend seamlessly to deliver positive energy. The name 9Tube was inspired by:
📌 The number 9 – A play on "Nice" (beautiful) and "Night" (evening), as most people unwind at night.
📌 Tube – A nod to YouTube but with a unique, more soothing approach.

For the founder, 9Tube is not just a tech product but a dream come true. After years of outsourcing, the goal was to create a complete product independently, where every idea and decision was fully self-directed.
Turning "🧱🪨" Into a Strong Foundation
At first, the founder thought: "It’s time to release." There was no attempt to achieve a perfect 10/10 from the start, because if perfection was the goal, 9Tube might have never launched. Even major operating systems like Windows and macOS require constant updates.
📌 June 2024 – The first version of 9Tube was officially launched. The initial response was more criticism than praise. But something amazing happened: those bricks 🧱🪨 became a solid foundation.
📌 Every 1-2 weeks, the founder consistently releases at least one update to improve the app.
📌 The app ranked in the Top 14 in the Music category on the App Store upon launching its first major update—without any paid advertising.
📌 Today, 9Tube has over 12.3K downloads with 6K daily active users worldwide. The most exciting part? "The sun never sets on 9Tube" – when users in Vietnam sleep, those in the U.S. are just starting their day.
