Music Sharity: Your Universal Music Link Converter

Source: Dev.to

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 five 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
