Lissen
A self-hosted Media & Streaming app you can run on your own server.
With Lissen, you get a self-hosted media and streaming application that lives on your own server, under your rules. Self-hosting it means no per-user subscription and no third-party cloud holding your information.
Development happens in the open on GitHub; the repository has collected 733 stars so far. Repository activity was last recorded on Sep 11, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot. It is listed as a companion app — a tool that extends or helps you manage a self-hosted service rather than replacing it. It is available for None.
Before you switch
Media servers live or die by transcoding performance and library organisation. Check the hardware-acceleration support for your GPU or NAS, and test with a small library first. Most tools scan standard folder structures automatically, so tidy naming pays off quickly.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Lissen is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
