Cicada is a self-hosted, multi-user music streaming service distributed as a single binary with an embedded PWA frontend and bundled ffmpeg. It supports multiple users with 2FA, shared playlists (musicbills), and lyrics/composer metadata.
Use cases
- self-host my own music streaming server
- share a music library with family across devices
- stream my local music collection to phone via web app
- multi-user music service with 2FA
- replace Spotify with my own hosted music
When to choose
- you want a lightweight single-binary self-hosted music server
- you need multi-user accounts with sharing and 2FA
- you prefer a PWA over installing native apps
When to avoid
- you need transcoding-heavy large-scale streaming like Plex/Jellyfin
- you want desktop-native player features or offline sync
- you need integration with existing music metadata services
