# koel [](https://github.com/koel/koel/actions/workflows/unit-frontend.yml)  [](https://codecov.io/gh/koel/koel) [](#backers) [](#sponsors)  ## Intro **Koel** (also stylized as **koel**, with a lowercase k) is a free, open-source music streaming solution that turns your personal collection into a sleek, web-based listening experience. Built on [Laravel](https://laravel.com/) and [Vue](https://vuejs.org/), it scans your music library and serves it back through a fast, modern interface that works in any browser. Beyond playback, Koel handles playlists, smart playlists, scrobbling, podcasts, radio, Last.fm/Spotify/MusicBrainz integrations, and an AI assistant that responds to natural-language commands. The premium Koel Plus adds multi-user libraries, collaboration, SSO, cloud storage drivers, custom themes, and white-labeling for organizations that want to host their own Spotify-style experience without paying anyone else. ## Install and Upgrade Guide For system requirements, installation/upgrade guides, troubleshooting etc., head over to the [Official Documentation](https://docs.koel.dev). ## Development See the [Development Guide](https://docs.koel.dev/development). ## Koel Player  [Koel Player](https://github.com/koel/player) is the official mobile app for Koel, which supports both iOS and Android without the limitations of the mobile web version.
