Press play.
That is the
whole idea.
Music, audiobooks and podcasts. From your own server and from Apple Music, in one player, on every Apple thing you own.
Everything it plays
One library, whatever the sound happens to be: albums, books, episodes, and the radio stations you saved on your server. No switching apps because the format changed.
Music
Your server and Apple Music on one shelf. An album in both places shows up once, and you say which copy plays. Records that Apple Music splits into four entries over a guest credit get put back together as one album.
Audiobooks
Chapters, a sleep timer, and the exact second you dozed off, handed straight back to Audiobookshelf so every device agrees.
Podcasts
Your server fetches the episodes, and Lindale marks what you have heard and plays the rest. Nothing recommended at you, ever.
One library, whatever you are listening to
Point it at your own music server, sign in to Apple Music, add the server that holds your books and podcasts. One of them, or all of them. Each kind of listening gets the treatment it needs, and your choices follow you around over your own iCloud. Nothing passes through me.
Free
No price, no trial, no “pro” tier hiding behind a button.
Nothing watching
No ads, no analytics, no trackers. What you listen to is nobody’s data.
One person
Made in the evenings by someone who just wanted this app to exist.
Want a note when it lands?
One email, on release day. Then never again.
The name. / LIN-dayl / is a linden valley, the tree a village once gathered under to sing and play. Said out loud it is also the Elvish word for music. Both readings are fine by me.
