Cordata

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 ā not just a file list. Requires a renderer on your network: HQPlayer (Embedded or Desktop with Network Control), or any UPnP/OpenHome renderer ā 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 ā recently played, most played, forgotten favorites, rediscover, by decade ⢠Radio: build an endless station from any track, artist, or album ā it starts instantly and never repeats an artist back-to-back ⢠Surprise Me ā 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" ā 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 ā what you played on this day in years past ⢠Export your history, sync to ListenBrainz, import from Last.fm ā 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 ā 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 ā the companion just elevates it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mossca Remote at none against Cordata's 1. Mossca Remote also leads on iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
