Why it exists

Built from frustration, shaped by the players worth learning from.

Made by Tryhard Dev Studios, RektTunes Next started from a simple irritation: too much of our media, metadata, and listening behavior is controlled by services we do not own. I took inspiration from excellent media players already out there, kept the ideas that felt right, and poured everything I wanted from a homelab music system into one focused player.

Built for the stack you already run

One player. One server. Your library.

Local Core streaming

Scan your music folder, serve artwork and streams, and keep playback state tied to user accounts.

Navidrome ready

Use Navidrome/Subsonic as the catalog source when you want it to own discovery and streaming.

Lidarr requests

Request albums from discovery without making the player do download work.

YouTube imports

Inspect playlists, choose videos, import audio, preserve thumbnails, and file results cleanly.

Premium library UI

Albums, tracks, discovery, playlists, lyrics, ratings, favorites, and a full playback bar.

Admin controls

Manage registration, whitelist mode, roles, bans, password resets, and account access.

Screenshots

A real app, not a dashboard skin.

Discovery page with requestable albums and music feeds — Discovery feeds for music you can request.

Album browser with filters and album artwork — Album browsing with filters.

Playlist page with playlist artwork and tracks — Public and private playlists.

Admin setup page for server settings — Server setup and validation.

Lifetime license

Development launch pricing.

One price for the full RektTunes Next package. Built for homelabbers who want a polished music player without subscription sprawl. Every purchase directly supports a fellow homelabber building tools for people who run their own servers.

Development pricing is active while RektTunes Next is still growing. Mobile support, a stronger administration panel, and deeper server management tools are coming soon.
