Play the albums you forgot you owned.

Homespin is an iPhone player for your Navidrome or Subsonic server, built for people who listen in albums. Every record you put on repaints the app in the colors of its cover, and the ones gathering dust come back around.

I'm building it because every client I tried on my phone made my music look like a spreadsheet.

no catalog, no ads, no account with me

What's in the first version

and two things that aren't, yet
  • Colors from the cover

    Backgrounds, buttons, and the progress bar all come from the album that's playing.

  • The dusty shelf

    Albums you haven't played in a year or more, plus one pick a day from your own library. No algorithm pushing someone else's catalog.

  • Whole albums, side A to side B

    A full-album mode, and a journal of every album you've played start to finish.

  • Gapless that's actually gapless

    Live albums and DJ mixes play straight through, with no click between tracks.

  • Your server, your files

    Navidrome, Gonic, or any OpenSubsonic server, with offline downloads and CarPlay. Your music never passes through me.

  • Your year in albums

    A recap of what you played from your own library, with cards you can share. Coming after launch.

  • Android

    After the iPhone version is solid. I'd rather ship one good app than two average ones.
