Mynah for iPhone and iPad
Mynah needs one thing you provide: a Navidrome or Subsonic server. If you have one, setup is the address, your username and your password, and the library appears.
Getting set up
- Open Mynah, go to Settings, and enter your server’s address, for example
http://192.168.1.20:4533orhttps://music.example.com. Plain http on your own network is fine. - Enter your username and password. Mynah checks the server before saving, so a typo cannot lock you out.
- Albums appear under Recently Added. Tap one, then tap a song, and the record is on the deck.
Playing a record
| Play or pause | The play button, or a tap on the record’s label. |
|---|---|
| Move through a song | Drag the tonearm, or tap the record where you want the needle. Hold next or previous to scan. |
| Next side | Long albums are cut into sides. When a side ends the next one drops on by itself. |
| Favorite a song | The star on the plate. Favorites are the first row in Playlists. |
| AirPlay, speed, vinyl style | The … button on the plate. |
| Close the deck (iPhone) | Swipe down anywhere that is not the record, or the chevron. |
| Library (iPad) | The handle at the top left, or swipe in from the left edge. |
Common questions
- Can it reach my server from outside my house?
- Yes, if your server can be reached from outside: a Tailscale address, a VPN, or a domain you expose with TLS. Mynah does not provide the tunnel.
- Does it transcode?
- Only what the phone cannot play itself. FLAC, ALAC, AAC, MP3, WAV and AIFF stream as they are. Opus, Vorbis, WMA and APE are transcoded by your server.
- Where are downloads kept?
- In the app’s own storage on the device, excluded from iCloud backup. Remove them from Settings.
- Does Mynah work with Apple Music or Spotify?
- No. Mynah is for music you host yourself.
Something is wrong
Write to mynah@theadipost.com with your iOS version, your server’s version, and what you expected to happen. Mynah keeps no logs anywhere but on your device, so a description is what helps.
