Tunode is a native iPhone, iPad and CarPlay player that streams and downloads music from your own Navidrome or OpenSubsonic server. It connects straight to the library you already own, without asking you to rebuild it somewhere else.
Your music. Your server. Everywhere. Stream your collection, download albums for offline listening and follow time-synced lyrics. All music features are free, with ads and an optional lifetime Remove Ads purchase.
Navidrome / OpenSubsonic / Offline downloads / Synced lyrics / Auto DJ / CarPlay
Real Tunode screens, playing from a real Navidrome library.
Self-hosting keeps your music library on a server you choose. Tunode connects that library to iPhone, iPad and CarPlay for browsing, search, playback and downloads.
Enter your server details, then browse and play the library already held there. Tunode does not provide music, media or server hosting.
“Your music. Your server. Everywhere.”
Tunode, by Polyphasic Developers
Browse your server, keep the queue close and save music for journeys without a signal. These App Store screenshots show demonstration music.
Everything below runs against your own server, on iPhone, iPad and CarPlay.
Browse albums, artists, playlists and favourites, with search across artists, albums and songs on your server.
Download a track, an album or an entire playlist. When a local copy exists, Tunode plays it automatically instead of streaming.
Time-synced lyrics scroll with the track, and tapping any line jumps playback to that moment. Tunode uses your server's lyrics first, with an LRCLIB fallback when a track has none.
Turn on Auto DJ and Tunode extends the queue with related tracks from your own library as it runs low. Discovery without leaving your collection, and without an algorithm deciding what you should own next.
Tunode includes a native CarPlay audio experience, so your self-hosted library behaves like any other music app on the dashboard.
Browse albums, playlists and downloads from the car screen, use the familiar system Now Playing controls, and keep playback running in the background as you move between apps. Downloads matter here: a car park with no signal should not end the album.
Set up your server connectionSetup is a one-time thing. After that Tunode gets out of the way.
Enter your Navidrome or OpenSubsonic server address and sign in once.
Your albums, artists, playlists and favourites appear, ready to search and play.
Keep the albums and playlists you actually listen to on the device, at original quality.
Stream, play offline, follow the lyrics, and carry it into CarPlay.
Tunode requires access to a Navidrome or compatible OpenSubsonic music server. Tunode does not provide music, media or server hosting. You are responsible for the content available through your server.
Tunode is free to download and use, supported by banner and full-screen ads. An optional lifetime Remove Ads purchase removes all advertising permanently. There is no subscription.
The free app includes the same music features whether or not you buy Remove Ads.
Advertising may involve consent and tracking choices. See the Tunode privacy policy for details.
Ask a questionNeed a server first? Start with the official Navidrome installation guide. Tunode supplies the player, not the server or music.
Check the address, account details and whether your phone can reach the server on its current network. A home-only address will not work when you leave that network.
For a home server, check Tunode's local-network permission. For access over the internet, use HTTPS or a properly configured private connection. Do not share your server password in a support request.

Yes. Tunode is a client, not a music service. It needs a Navidrome or compatible OpenSubsonic server that you control. Tunode does not provide music, media or hosting, and the content available through your server is your responsibility.
Tunode is built for Navidrome and works with servers implementing the OpenSubsonic API. Available features depend on the API features your server implements.
Yes. Download tracks, albums or complete playlists at original quality. Tunode plays the local file automatically whenever one exists, and shows your downloads and storage use in one place.
Your server first. When a track has no lyrics stored, Tunode can request a matching lyric from LRCLIB using the track metadata. Synced lyrics scroll with the music and any line can be tapped to jump there.
It extends the queue with related tracks from your own library when the queue runs low, so listening continues without you picking the next album. Everything it plays is music you already have.
Tunode is free and supported by ads. An optional lifetime Remove Ads purchase removes all advertising permanently. There is no subscription.
