Self-hosted music, without platform tax

Get money-hungry
music platforms
out of your life.

Apollo is the self-hosted music stack for people who want modern streaming convenience without handing their library, playback, and listening habits back to a platform.

A real alternative

Not a downgrade.
Not a clone.
A stack you control.

Apollo splits infrastructure, listening, and extension so leaving a closed service does not mean accepting a worse product. Keep what matters. Drop the business model behind it.

01 Infrastructure

Apollo Server

Tracks, playlists, downloads, search, streams, and playback resolution stay in one local service that you can inspect and control.

02 Listening

Apollo Client

Playback, browsing, auth, library control, and desktop ergonomics live in a dedicated listening surface instead of a browser tab full of compromises.

03 Extension

Trusted Plugins

Plugins extend the client through a defined runtime, so Apollo stays open without losing its boundaries or becoming vague.

Leave closed music platforms behind

Leave Spotify behind. Keep the good parts.

Apollo is for replacing the service, not the useful parts. Search, playlists, playback, downloads, and control stay with you.

Own the catalog

Your stack. Yours.

Tracks, metadata, libraries, and playlists stay in your system.

Keep the experience

Keep the parts you use.

Search, playback, queues, and downloads still feel immediate.

Stay extensible

No vendor lock.

Source, themes, and plugins stay open instead of boxed in.
