👋 Hey, I'm Andre.

In 2026 I got tired of Spotify deciding what I should listen to next. So I built Vynl — a self-hosted music platform that takes your library back. Real files on your hardware. Sonos-grade playback. Spotify-grade discovery (without Spotify). DJ-pipeline features that decompose YouTube sets into your library at full quality.

🛠️ What gets built when you sponsor:

  • Vynl itself — new features ship to development weekly, public releases land every few days
  • The native iOS companion app (TestFlight beta coming soon)
  • An ecosystem of small open-source pieces that compose with Vynl: the BeetsAI Doctor, the Spotify Migration Wizard, the AI DJ corpus

🎁 Sponsor perks worth caring about:

  • Your name in the BACKERS.md of the repo (optional, fully anonymous works too)
  • A direct line for feature requests (Discussions, but yours actually get answered)

🙏 Why your sponsorship matters: Vynl runs against the streaming-subscription tide. Every $1 here is a vote for tools that don’t algorithmically own your music taste. If even a fraction of the people running Vynl chipped in $5/mo, I could keep this fully independent forever instead of having to monetize it.

If Vynl makes your music life better, this is how to keep it going.
