Your speakers, brought back to life. This works with the latest firmware that locks down SoundTouch speakers. When the SoundTouch cloud was shut down on May 6, 2026, it took your presets, music browsing, and most of what made your speakers smart with it. OpenST brings it all back — directly on your local network, with no servers to host and no setup beyond installing the app. WHAT YOU GET BACK Hardware presets 1–6 working again, fully editable Real-time now playing across every room Multi-room grouping and party mode Volume, playback, and source switching from your phone Internet radio — thousands of stations via Radio Browser Stream from your NAS, Plex, or any UPnP music server Spotify, Pandora, AirPlay, and AUX, all controllable Apple Watch app with hardware preset control DESIGNED FOR YOUR HOME OpenST opens to your rooms, not a music service.
