Music Sharity: Your Universal Music Link Converter

#flutter #opensource #privacy #music

Ever received a Spotify link from a friend but you're an Apple Music subscriber? Or wanted to share your favorite track but your friend uses Deezer? Music Sharity solves this frustrating problem.

The Problem

Music streaming platforms have created silos. Each platform has exclusive apps, and sharing music across platforms is unnecessarily complicated. You shouldn't need 5 different apps just to listen to the same song your friends are sharing.

The Solution

Music Sharity is a free, open-source, privacy-first application that instantly converts music links between:

Spotify
Apple Music
Deezer
YouTube Music
Tidal
SoundCloud

Why Music Sharity?

Privacy First

Zero data collection
No tracking, no analytics
Fully offline capable
Your music taste stays yours

Truly Cross-Platform (almost)

Android (Google Play Store)
Windows (MSI installer)
Linux (DEB/RPM packages)
Web (PWA)

Free & Open Source

Licensed under GPL v3
No ads, no premium tiers
Community-driven development

How It Works

Music Sharity leverages the powerful Odesli API to perform platform conversions. Here's the architecture:

User shares link → Music Sharity → Odesli API → Platform links returned

Technical Stack

Framework: Flutter 3.38.5 (Dart 3.10.4)
API: Odesli for music platform conversion
State Management: Provider pattern
Local Storage: Hive (for conversion history)
Design: Material Design 3
CI/CD: GitHub Actions

Key Features

1. Native Android Share Integration

// Share any music link directly from your streaming app
ShareIntent → Music Sharity → Converted link
