Gate
Build an audience with every download
Build an audience with every download
Upload your file to Nitestore Gate or bring your own URL. Gate it behind real email collection with magic-link delivery, custom link steps to anywhere, or verified SoundCloud actions. Everything you put out builds an audience you own.
Unlimited gates. Unlimited downloads. One growing audience.
More than a download link
A gate sits between your content and the people who want it. Visitors complete the actions you choose before access is granted — building a measurable, owned audience with every gate.
- Email delivery via magic-link — fake addresses never get in
- SoundCloud actions verified via API, not just clicked
- Custom link steps for any other platform
- Every visitor, action, and email yours to keep
Paste a URL from any supported platform and Gate pulls in the artwork, title, and creator automatically. Or build from scratch — every step type below is available on every gate.
Downloads or URL destinations delivered via magic-link. Anyone who puts in a fake address and never opens it never gets in and never makes it into your audience.
Send visitors to any destination — Spotify, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Bandcamp, Discord, your website, anywhere a URL can go.
Follow, like, repost, comment — every action verified through the official SoundCloud API, not just a click.
Upload directly to Gate or link from anywhere — Dropbox, Google Drive, your own server. Only delivered after every step is complete.
Other gate tools count clicks and call it engagement. Nitestore Gate delivers downloads via magic-link, verifies SoundCloud actions through the official API, and lets you host files directly or link from anywhere. Your audience is real, your data is yours, your gates are unlimited.
If an email step is included, the download is delivered via magic-link — visitors have to open it to get the file. Anyone who puts in a fake address never gets the download and never enters your audience.
Your download can live on Gate or link from anywhere — Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. Every gate gets a custom short URL (gate.nitestore.xyz/your-slug). Edit after publishing and the link never changes.
SoundCloud follows, reposts, likes, and comments verified through the official API. Custom link steps send visitors anywhere. Included for every gate, not locked behind a higher tier.
Milestones, geographic firsts, source dominance, step performance, download streaks. Every published music gate appears on the Nitestore public chart, ranked daily by Top, Trending, and New.
Nitestore Gate spots what's working and tells you. Automatic milestones, geographic firsts, dominant referrers, step performance patterns, download streaks. You don't have to dig for the data.
Insights engine running on your data — automatic, no setup required.
How it worksUpload your file directly to Gate or paste a URL from anywhere on the web. If you're linking to a supported platform, Gate automatically pulls in the artwork, title, and creator to get you started faster.
Choose what visitors complete to unlock access — email with magic-link delivery, custom link steps, or verified SoundCloud actions. One step or several, any combination.
Every gate gets a custom short URL you can share anywhere. Verified actions and emails are collected, tracked across every gate, and built into an audience that's fully exportable anytime.
Why use this instead of posting a download link?+
A download link gives you nothing back. A gate turns every drop into followers, reposts, and emails — actual growth, not just downloads. The visitor still gets what they came for. You get a real audience that compounds across every gate you publish.
How does Gate build a real audience?+
Downloads delivered via magic-link — fake addresses never get access. SoundCloud actions verified in real time. Cross-gate audience tracking with repeat-downloader detection. Full CSV export. Build it once, own it forever.
Can I edit a gate after sharing the link?+
Yes. Change the title, artwork, steps, or download — the short link stays the same. Visitors who land after you edit see the updated version immediately.
What happens if I cancel?+
Access continues until the end of your billing period. After that, your gates, data, and analytics are permanently deleted.
Can I see a real gate before subscribing?+
Yes — click "See a live gate" at the top. It's a live, published gate on the production system. You can complete the steps yourself to see exactly what your visitors will experience.
