Key Features

Source: GitHub README

🔌 Deep Lidarr integration - sync monitored artists, apply per-source monitor strategies, toggle monitor-new-albums policies, and send additions straight back to Lidarr.
🧭 Personal discovery hub - stream batches sourced from your Lidarr library, your saved Last.fm scrobbles, and ListenBrainz Weekly Exploration playlists, all controllable from the sidebar.
🤖 AI assistant - describe the vibe you want and let any OpenAI-compatible model seed new sessions with fresh artists, respecting optional library exclusions.
🙋 Artist requests workflow - non-admins raise requests, admins approve or reject with a single click, and every action is audited in real time.
🎧 Preview & context panels - launch YouTube or iTunes previews, inspect Last.fm biographies, and read key stats without leaving the grid.
⚡️ Real-time UX - Socket.IO keeps discovery progress, toast alerts, and button states in sync across every connected client.
👥 Role-based access - authentication, user management, profile controls for personal services, and admin-only settings live in one UI.
🔐 OIDC Single Sign-On - enable OpenID Connect for authentication, with optional group-based admin assignment and “OIDC-only” mode.
🛡️ Hardened configuration - atomic settings writes, locked-down file permissions, and CSRF-protected forms keep secrets safe.
🔔 Update & schema self-healing - footer badges surface new releases and the app backfills missing DB columns before loading users.
