About

Cordata

Features
Read full description

Cordata is a control point and discovery layer for a local hi-fi library. It drives HQPlayer or a UPnP/OpenHome renderer on your network and turns your own collection into something you actually explore — not just a file list. Requires a renderer on your network: HQPlayer (Embedded or Desktop with Network Control), or any UPnP/OpenHome renderer — a network streamer, a NAS running MinimServer/Asset, etc. Cordata is the remote and the brain; it doesn't replace your server. If you don't run one of these, this isn't the app for you (yet). Rediscover your own library • Home that fills in as you listen — recently played, most played, forgotten favorites, rediscover, by decade • Radio: build an endless station from any track, artist, or album — it starts instantly and never repeats an artist back-to-back • Surprise Me — one tap to reshuffle and rediscover a large collection • Smart Mixes themed by mood, energy, and era See the truth about every file (with the optional, free companion sidecar) • Roon-style waveform seekbar • Dynamic Range, BPM, and musical key for the playing track • A provenance verdict that flags upsampled "hi-res" — plus per-track spectrograms • Synced lyrics and high-resolution embedded artwork A listening history that's yours • A real dashboard: heat map, top artists/albums/tracks, sound-quality breakdown, streaks, trends • Time Machine — what you played on this day in years past • Export your history, sync to ListenBrainz, import from Last.fm — your taste graph stays portable Rich context, on device • Apple Music editorial notes, artist bios, similar artists, and the playlists that feature them (a permission — no Apple Music subscription required) • Apple Intelligence album insights Ratings, play counts, and all your metadata sync privately across your devices via iCloud. Optional companion: a free, open-source sidecar you run alongside your library unlocks the file-analysis features above. Cordata works without it — the companion just elevates it. SUBSCRIPTION Cordata — Local: an auto-renewable subscription, $49.99/year, with a 2-month free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the period.
