Downtify

Self-hosted music downloader

Visit Downtify

Downtify is a self-hosted music downloader that runs as a Docker container with a browser interface. It accepts Spotify, YouTube Music and Deezer links or free-text searches, retrieves matching audio, and writes tags, album art and lyrics into the resulting files. It also handles existing music folders, letting you sync tags and skip tracks already in the library.

Features include a Playlist Monitor for auto-downloading new tracks, five audio formats (MP3, FLAC, M4A, OGG, OPUS) with configurable bitrate, built-in lyrics from lrclib, a web player with queue and sleep timer, M3U export for Jellyfin, Navidrome and Plex, CSV library import, Deezer charts and Finder, podcast subscriptions, per-user accounts with an activity log, mobile apps paired by QR code, slskd and Navidmode integrations, and YouTube cookie upload for restricted tracks.

Downtify is aimed at users maintaining a local music library on their own server. It is packaged as a single Docker container with no account or API key required; the pages do not specify a free plan, trial or pricing model.
