Phonotheque

Your music. Your Mac. Everywhere.

Phonotheque is a personal music library that lives on your Mac and plays on your iPhone, iPad, Android phone and in any browser. No subscriptions, no third-party servers, nothing to sign up for.

Everything your collection needs

Your files, your library

MP3, FLAC, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG and more. Point it at a folder and it keeps itself up to date.

Plays anywhere

On your home Wi-Fi, or away from home through Tailscale. The Mac is the server; your phone is the speaker.

Offline downloads

Download albums and playlists to the phone and listen on a plane — without the Mac.

Playlists and lyrics

Playlists, queue, lyrics, sleep timer and even volume across tracks.

Private by design

Your music and listening history stay on your Mac. No ads, no trackers, no analytics.

Looks the way you like

Light and dark themes and six colour looks. English and Russian.

Three steps

Open Phonotheque, choose your music folder. The icon in the menu bar shows its status.

Open it for your phone

In the menu bar choose “Open for phones” — it shows the address to use.

Install the app, tap “Find my Mac”

The phone finds the Mac on your Wi-Fi. Create the first account — it becomes the owner.
