Description

mStream Music turns your own computer or NAS into your personal streaming service. Point the app at your mStream server and your whole collection — organized exactly the way you keep it — is in your pocket. No subscriptions, no ads, no accounts, and no company sitting between you and your music.

REACH YOUR MUSIC FROM ANYWHERE
Quick Connect builds an encrypted peer-to-peer tunnel straight to your server — no port forwarding, no DNS setup, no public IP required. Scan a QR code or paste a pairing code and you're connected, from home or across the world. Servers on your local network are discovered automatically.

YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY
• Browse folders exactly as they live on disk, or by albums and artists
• Instant search across your collection
• Playlists, ratings, and lyrics
• AutoDJ keeps the queue filled with tracks that fit what's playing

MADE FOR LISTENING
• An audio visualizer that reacts to your music in real time
• Full background playback with lock screen and Control Center support
• Sleep timer for winding down
• Optional transcoding streams big lossless files at bandwidth-friendly bitrates — and formats iPhones can't play natively are handled automatically

TAKE IT OFFLINE
Download tracks, albums, or your whole queue to the phone and keep listening with no connection at all.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
This app talks to exactly one thing: your server. No analytics, no tracking, no data collection — your listening habits stay yours. mStream is free and open source.

GETTING STARTED
You'll need the free, open-source mStream server running on a computer or NAS (get it at mstream.io). Install it, point it at your music folder, connect this app, and you're streaming in minutes.
