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.
Stream your collection from anywhere, download albums for offline listening, follow time-synced lyrics, and let Auto DJ keep the queue moving. Free, with no subscription.

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
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.
Read the common questionsSetup is a one-time thing. After that Tunode gets out of the way.
Enter your Navidrome or OpenSubsonic server address and sign in once.

Stream, play offline, follow the lyrics, and carry it into CarPlay.

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. If your server speaks OpenSubsonic, Tunode can browse, search, stream and download from it.
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. A one-time Remove Ads purchase turns them off. There is no subscription.
