Koito (小糸) is a Japanese surname. It is also homophonous with the words 恋と (koi to), meaning "and/with love".

Koito is a modern, themeable ListenBrainz-compatible scrobbler for self-hosters who want control over their data and insights into their listening habits. It supports relaying to other compatible scrobblers, so you can try it safely without replacing your current setup.

This project is under active development and still considered "unstable", and therefore you can expect some bugs. If you don't want to replace your current scrobbler with Koito quite yet, you can set up a relay from Koito to another ListenBrainz-compatible scrobbler. This is what I've been doing for the entire development of this app and it hasn't failed me once. Or, you can always use something like multi-scrobbler.

Features

• ⚡ More performant than similar software
• 🖌️ Sleek UI
• 🔁 Compatible with anything that scrobbles to ListenBrainz
• 🔌 Easy relay to your existing setup
• 📂 Import support for Maloja, ListenBrainz, LastFM, and Spotify

Contributing

There are currently some known issues that I am actively working on, in addition to adding new features. If you want to contribute (especially more and more robust testing) feel free to fork the repository and make a pull request with your changes.

If you have any feature ideas, open a GitHub issue to let me know. I'm sorting through ideas to decide which data visualizations and customization options to add next.

You can also donate money to me, @gabehf, the primary developer, via the "sponsor" or "ko-fi" buttons, and I will spend that money on luxurious trips and fine cuisine in foreign countries, or rent.

More relevant here than any of my other projects...

Not just during development, you can see my complete listening data on my live demo instance.

Random notes

• I find it a little annoying when READMEs use emoji but everyone else is doing it so I felt like I had to...
• About 50% of the reason I built this was minor/not-so-minor greivances with Maloja. Could I have just contributed to Maloja? Maybe, but I like building stuff and I like Koito's UI a lot more anyways.
