Pocket Radio plays internet radio through your own server. Find stations from all over the world, keep your favourites and see the song that is on. Then make channels from your own music library that play like real radio, with one address for the phone, the car and any radio app.

Listen

Your stations and channels, one tap away.

The last station waits at the top, with how long you listened today and this week. Your stations, your channels, what you played lately and the songs you heard sit underneath, and the player stays at the bottom of every page.

The Pocket Radio Listen page: Radio Paradise ready to play, ten stations, three channels and what played lately

Find stations

About 50,000 stations to choose from.

Search the open radio-browser.info list by name, genre and country, or see what is popular where you live. Play a station without keeping it, or tap the heart to add it to your stations.

Add any station by its address; .pls and .m3u files are unwrapped for you
Plain-http stations play through the server, even on an https page

Channels

Radio made from your own music.

Pick genres, artists, playlists, years or only your starred songs from your Navidrome library. A channel plays them like a station: one broadcast for everyone listening, with its own address for VLC, the car or a radio app.

No song again within the hours you choose, and a gap between artists
Describe a channel in your own words and let AI pick the genres
Song titles in other players, with .m3u and .pls files that point at it

The Sunday Morning channel: its jazz and soul rules, the songs it played lately and its stream address

Songs you heard

Every song the stations played.

Pocket Radio reads the song titles a station sends inside its stream, so you see what is on and every title lands in a list by day. Star the songs you want to find again.

Starred songs are kept for good
Ask whether a song is already in your music library
Keep it in a Pocket Music playlist

Songs you heard on an iPhone: the day’s songs from Radio Paradise, two of them starred

And the rest of it

History
Minutes per day and week, the hours you listen, and your top stations and channels. Export it all as CSV.
Stations that stop playing
A daily check that each of your stations still plays, and a message when one has been silent for three days.
Sleep timer and lock screen
A sleep timer, lock-screen and headphone controls, and keyboard shortcuts: space plays and stops.
Everyone their own
Each person has their own stations, channels, history, music library and settings. Admins see no one else’s.

Install

One container, one volume.

Start it with Docker, open it, create the first account and find a station. For channels, connect your Navidrome under Settings, Connected apps; its MP3 transcoding must be on, as it is by default. Stations on your own network need ALLOW_LOCAL_STREAMS=true.

On a Pocket Box it is already installed: you sign in with Pocket Core, and your Navidrome login comes from Core.
