RE-KORD is a local music hub with a full-featured player, smart library, built-in studio, yt-dlp downloader, Plectr rhythm game and audio visualizers. Your files, your machine. No subscription, no cloud.
RE-KORD does far more than play music — and everything runs locally, with no dependency on any external service.
Browse by artist, genre and mood. Instant search with Ctrl+K. Edit tags, synced LRC lyrics and album artwork — all inside the app.
One workspace, five tabs: guided listening, catalog discovery, downloads, metadata enrichment (MusicBrainz / iTunes) and cover art.
Download single tracks, playlists and full discographies using yt-dlp — already bundled in the Client+Server release. No extra setup needed.
A rhythm game generated from the audio analysis of the track you're already listening to. Easy / Normal / Hard, tap / hold / swipe, per-track records.
Top tracks, artists and genres. XP system with levels, daily streaks and dozens of badges — from first plays to Plectr records.
Seven modes animated in real time: bars, mirror, wave, smooth wave, H·M·B waves, signals, karaoke — and DiscoWall. In Plectr, the active visualizer renders as a live backdrop behind the lanes.
Any device on your local network can open RE-KORD from a browser. Enable a Cloudflare tunnel for external access directly from Settings.
Multiple accounts on the same machine, each with their own playlists, favorites, stats, Plectr records and shuffle exclusions stored in .kord/.
Run the Server where your library lives — it already includes the UI. Use the standalone Client only on other devices that connect over the network.
Library, API, yt-dlp and UI in one package. On the machine with your music, the Server alone is enough — no separate Client on the same PC.
