Lidify is a self-hosted, on-demand audio streaming platform that aims to deliver a Spotify-like experience while keeping your music library fully under your control. You point it at your personal collection, and it scans, catalogs, and enriches your library with metadata so browsing feels polished instead of “folder-based.” Beyond basic playback, it leans into discovery with personalized “made for you” mixes and one-click radio modes that generate stations from your own listening history and library structure. It also supports on-the-fly transcoding, so you can stream original quality when you want or reduce bandwidth when you need to. Lidify expands past music into a more complete audio hub by supporting podcast subscriptions and integrating with tools many self-hosters already run.
