Our Music Library is a third-party music player for your own self-hosted Navidrome or Subsonic (OpenSubsonic) server. It requires a server you already run and includes no music of its own — Our Music Library simply plays the library you already have, and makes it feel at home on your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY - Give each person their own profile. Everyone sees their own library plus a shared library the whole household can enjoy. - On a shared iPhone or iPad, an optional profile picker lets whoever picked up the device choose who's listening. - The settings that matter — the server, the profiles, and Server Admin — sit behind Face ID or a passcode, out of little hands. - Server Admin (on Navidrome servers) lets a parent add family accounts, change a password, and choose which libraries each person can see, right from the app. YOUR LIBRARY, ORGANIZED - Browse by Artists, Albums, Genres, Songs, Playlists, Favorites, and Recently Added. - Search across artists, albums, and songs. - Open any album to see its full track list and artwork. - Tap the heart to favorite a song; build, rename, and reorder your own playlists. A PLAYER YOU'LL ENJOY - A bold, colorful design with sticker-style artwork, and seven app icons to choose from. - A full-screen player with a play queue, shuffle, and repeat. - A sleep timer that fades the music out at bedtime. - A mini-player stays with you while you keep browsing. ON YOUR WRIST - Our Music Library for Apple Watch keeps music on the watch itself, so it plays on AirPods with no phone nearby and no network at all — made for a kid's watch. - Choose what to keep on the watch from the iPad or iPhone: Save to Watch on any album, playlist, or song. The watch copies it over your home Wi-Fi. - Pick standard (128 kbps) or original quality. - A parent can turn watch sync on or off for the whole device. PLAYS THE WAY YOU LISTEN - Streams over your own network. - Keeps playing in the background. - Full Lock Screen and Control Center controls. - AirPlay to your speakers, Apple TV, and other devices. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Stores only your server login, kept in the iOS Keychain. Watch sync uses your own iCloud account to carry the login and the keep-on-watch list between your devices — nothing is sent to us. - No ads. No tracking. No analytics. No accounts to create. - Your music and your server stay yours. WHAT YOU'LL NEED Our Music Library connects to a Navidrome or Subsonic (OpenSubsonic) server that you host yourself. If you don't already run one, this app won't have anything to play. Point it at your server, sign in, and your library is ready. The Apple Watch app needs watchOS 26 and, to copy music, Wi-Fi that can reach your server. Our Music Library is an independent app and is not affiliated with the Navidrome or Subsonic projects.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Our Music Library at 5.0 against Narjo's 4.2. Our Music Library also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). Narjo's advantage is ratings volume (38 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
