Intro

Koel (also stylized as koel, with a lowercase k) is a free, open-source music streaming solution that turns your personal collection into a sleek, web-based listening experience.

Built on Laravel and Vue, it scans your music library and serves it back through a fast, modern interface that works in any browser. Beyond playback, Koel handles playlists, smart playlists, scrobbling, podcasts, radio, Last.fm/Spotify/MusicBrainz integrations, and an AI assistant that responds to natural-language commands.

The premium Koel Plus adds multi-user libraries, collaboration, SSO, cloud storage drivers, custom themes, and white-labeling for organizations that want to host their own Spotify-style experience without paying anyone else.
