Every tab, every screen

A full Navidrome client on Apple TV — not a scaled-up phone app.

Every Navidrome feature you use on the web is here: Albums, Artists, Genres, Playlists, Favorites, Internet Radio, Search with history, artist biographies from Last.fm, Hi-Res badges, and time-synced lyrics. Built from the ground up for the Siri Remote and the 10-foot interface.

NaviBeat Home for Apple TV: Featured Album banner with Play button, Quick Play row (Favourites, Shuffle Mix, Random Album, Random Artist), and a Recently Added shelf underneath.

01 / Home

Featured Album, Quick Play, Recently Added.

The Home tab opens on a rotating Featured Album hero, followed by a Quick Play row (Favourites, Shuffle Mix, Random Album, Random Artist) and a Recently Added shelf. One press on the Siri Remote and music is playing — no menu digging, no five-step navigation.

NaviBeat Library view on Apple TV showing the Albums tab with a grid of cover art, artist names, year, and genre metadata pulled from Navidrome.

02 / Library

Albums, Artists, Random, Genres, Favorites.

The Library tab mirrors Navidrome's browse modes exactly. Albums grid with year and genre metadata. Artists as circular portraits with album counts. Random shuffle across your whole collection. Genre filtering. Your Favorites tab, synced from the server.

NaviBeat Artists view on Apple TV with circular portraits, album counts, and alphabetized sort — pulled from a Navidrome server.

03 / Artists

Every artist, every album, alphabetized.

Circular artist portraits with live album counts. Tap into any artist and get their full discography plus a biography pulled from Last.fm — no manual tagging required. The same Subsonic getArtists endpoint your Navidrome web UI uses.

NaviBeat artist detail screen on Apple TV showing Linkin Park with a Last.fm biography, Play button, and full album grid from 2020-2025.

04 / Artist Detail

Biographies pulled from Last.fm, album grid below.

Every artist page opens with a biography — the full band history — above a chronological album grid. Press Play to shuffle the entire discography. The same metadata you'd get on Spotify or Apple Music, on a self-hosted stack you own.

NaviBeat album detail on Apple TV: Linkin Park Meteora with track list, Hi-Res badges, Play, Shuffle, and Favorite buttons.

05 / Album Detail

Track list, Hi-Res badges, Play / Shuffle / Favorite.

Full numbered track list with durations and Hi-Res badges when your server reports FLAC or ALAC. Three actions on every album: Play (start from track 1), Shuffle (random order), Favorite (sync to Navidrome). Genre tags, label, year, and total runtime at the top.

NaviBeat Playlists tab on Apple TV showing user-made and server-synced playlists with 4-up collage covers and song counts.

06 / Playlists

Every playlist from your server, with live song counts.

Your Navidrome playlists show up automatically — the ones you made, the ones shared with you, and smart playlists if your server supports them. Auto-generated 4-up collage covers. Real-time song counts. Everything syncs both ways, so edits on your phone show up on the TV.

NaviBeat Radio tab on Apple TV with a grid of internet radio stations including Beograd 202, Hit FM, Karolina, Naxi Radio, and others stored in the Navidrome server.

07 / Internet Radio

Subsonic radio stations, on the big screen.

The Radio tab plays back any internet radio station you've added to your Navidrome server. Homepage URL shown under each station name. MP3, AAC, OGG — whatever your server streams, NaviBeat plays. No ads, no tracking, no third-party radio directories.

NaviBeat Search on Apple TV: on-screen letter picker (A-Z) with Recent Searches showing metallica, red hot, syste of a down, linkin park.

08 / Search

Letter picker, Recent Searches, instant results.

A-Z letter picker optimized for the Siri Remote trackpad. Recent Searches cached locally so you can jump back to what you were listening to yesterday. Results are drawn from your entire server library — artists, albums, and tracks — via the Subsonic search3 endpoint.

Now Playing

Full-screen album art. Up Next queue. Time-synced lyrics.

The Now Playing experience uses the full 4K canvas. Cover art fills the left half, queue or lyrics fill the right. Press the Siri Remote menu button and you're back where you were — the queue keeps playing.

NaviBeat Now Playing on Apple TV with full-size album art, track title Foreword by Linkin Park, transport controls, and an Up Next queue listing the next 9 tracks.

Queue view

Up Next, with runtimes and position numbers.

Every track in the queue shown in order, with duration and position. Skip forward, back, shuffle, repeat — all one Siri Remote press away. AutoMix keeps the queue refilled when you run out of tracks, so the music never just stops.

  • Numbered queue with durations
  • Shuffle and repeat controls
  • AutoMix for infinite playback
  • Siri Remote scrubbing on the progress bar
NaviBeat time-synced lyrics on Apple TV: Don't Stay by Linkin Park with the current line 'Forget our possibilities' highlighted in white while past lyrics fade to grey.

Lyrics view

Time-synced lyrics, on a screen big enough to read them.

When your Navidrome server has LRC lyrics attached to a track, NaviBeat scrolls through them in sync with the audio. Current line highlighted, past lines fade, upcoming lines wait. Works with embedded lyrics, sidecar LRC files, and any Subsonic getLyricsBySongId response.

  • LRC, SRT, and embedded lyrics supported
  • Automatic scroll with the track position
  • Large, readable type from across the room
  • Falls back gracefully to album art when none exist
