Soniclair

An album-centered subsonic client for PWA, Android, Android TV and Desktop

SonicLair is a minimal, mobile-ready, album-centered music client for subsonic compatible music servers built on top of Capacitor and Tauri.

Now available for Xbox too!

Features

• Connect to any subsonic-compatible music server. Tested on Navidrome.
• Browse your music collection by Artist or Album.
• Album-centered music playing: if you start playing a song, the album becomes your playlist.
• Start a radio based on any song on your library.
• Search throughout your entire music library.
• Android Auto support. (You can use it enabling Developer Mode and Unknown Sources in Android Auto, here is a tutorial to do so, thanks to the folks at Ultrasonic)
• Android TV support.
• [Android TV] Connect your TV to your server using your phone and a QR Code. (All the communications are made within the LAN, no third-party servers involved)
• [Android TV] Jukebox Mode! Run an instance of Soniclair in an Android TV and control it from another instance running on Android. No support for PWA clients as of yet.

Installation and Usage

Android

Built by Github Actions from this very source code.

Web

To use the PWA version of the app, you can go to Soniclair, thanks to the fine folks at Vercel. Remember that using this version of the app needs your server to use encryption, i.e. it needs to use an https://{domain}, because modern browsers don't support connection downgrading.

Xbox

Now available for Xbox too!

Roadmap

• Chromecast support
