Rocksky

A decentralized, open-source Last.fm alternative built on the AT Protocol (Bluesky).

Rocksky automatically tracks ("scrobbles") the music you listen to from Spotify, Jellyfin, Navidrome, browsers, Android, and more — then publishes it to your decentralized identity. Own your listening history, see what friends are playing in real time, get rich stats, and discover new music — all without a central company controlling your data.
