Bring your own server
Works with the servers you already trust.
NaviBeat speaks the OpenSubsonic API. Any server that does the same will pair: drop in your URL and credentials, that is the whole setup.

Every screen Apple makes. One receipt.
What you get
Four things no other Subsonic client does all at once.
Your Navidrome. No cloud in between.
Zero analytics. Zero tracking. Zero hidden services. NaviBeat doesn’t talk to anyone you didn’t sign in to. Optional Last.fm integration is opt-in and you’re in control.
Your server, your rules.
Native SwiftUI, one design language.
Not an Electron shell. Not a web wrapper. Each app is tuned for its screen: focus on tvOS, mouse on macOS, touch on iOS, crown on watchOS.
Pin anything. Listen anywhere.
Pin albums, playlists, or whole artists. LRU cache with a size you set. Flights, subways, trails, spotty hotel Wi-Fi, the music keeps going.
No cloud. No account. No telemetry.
Your server. Your library. Your rules.
NaviBeat is a client. Your music lives where it already does: a Raspberry Pi, a Synology, a home server under someone’s desk. We never see your library, your credentials, or a single play event. We couldn’t if we wanted to: the app has no backend. The only services NaviBeat ever talks to are the ones you sign in to: your Navidrome server, and optionally Last.fm.

About the maker
A one-person app, built in the open about what I want to use.
NaviBeat is built and maintained by Nenad Jokic, one person in Belgrade. No team behind a wall, no investors to please, no analytics dashboard somewhere telling me what you listened to last night. The roadmap is shaped by what self-hosters actually ask for: AirPlay routing, Cloudflare Access headers, sleep timer, time-synced lyrics, the things that came in through TestFlight and email.
If something is broken, you can write directly to me. I usually reply within a day.

FAQ
Questions you were going to ask anyway.
Yes. NaviBeat is a client: it plays music from a server you run. Navidrome is free, open source, and runs on anything from a Raspberry Pi to a NAS. Any OpenSubsonic-compatible server works too (Gonic, Airsonic-Advanced). navidrome.org takes about 15 minutes with Docker. NaviBeat is also officially listed on the navidrome.org/apps directory with the OpenSubsonic indicator.
Yes. NaviBeat is a Universal Purchase. Buy once on any Apple device and it installs on the other four (Mac, Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch) at no extra cost. The Apple Watch app ships embedded in the iPhone app, so it installs automatically when you pair your Watch.
Yes. NaviBeat is live on the App Store on all five Apple platforms: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. One $5.99 Universal Purchase covers every device, with no subscription. Open the App Store listing →
Yes. Pin individual albums, playlists, or whole artists for offline playback. NaviBeat keeps an LRU cache with a size limit you set in Settings. Flights, subways, and spotty hotel Wi-Fi don’t stop the music. Downloads sync across devices via your server, not our cloud.
Apple handles refunds directly: their standard window is 90 days, no questions asked, through reportaproblem.apple.com. On the Mac App Store you can try NaviBeat free for 7 days first. If something doesn’t work, reach us at support@navibeat.app.
