Magpie Pocket

A private library for your own audio and video.

Magpie Pocket keeps your own audio and video in one place, organised into folders and playlists, and plays it back from a browser, a desktop, or your phone. There is no third-party catalogue, no recommendations, and no advertising — the library is only ever the files you put in it.

How it works

Your files are stored on our infrastructure in the EU (Frankfurt), encrypted at rest, and are private to you and anyone you share a workspace with.
Playback streams straight from storage to your device — nothing sits in between.
Sign-in is handled by an OpenID Connect provider — the apps never see your password.
The mobile app can keep chosen items on the device for offline listening.
No analytics, no crash reporting, no tracking of any kind.

Getting an account

Magpie Pocket is invite-only — there is no public sign-up. If you have an account, the web app runs in any modern browser at app.magpiepocket.com, and the Android, iOS, and macOS apps share the same library.
