​
General

Rocksky is a decentralized, open-source alternative to Last.fm built on the AT Protocol (the same protocol that powers Bluesky). It automatically tracks (“scrobbles”) your music listening from many sources and publishes it to your own decentralized identity, giving you full ownership of your data.
  • You own your data on the AT Protocol — you can move it or self-host
  • Real-time Stories feed showing what your friends are playing
  • Strong compatibility with existing scrobblers
  • Fully open source and self-hostable
  • No corporate control or data lock-in
Yes for the hosted version at rocksky.app. Any AT Protocol identity works, including one from a self-hosted PDS.
No. Rocksky is an independent project built on top of the AT Protocol. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Bluesky.

​
Privacy & data

Your scrobbles are stored on an AT Protocol Personal Data Server (PDS). You control your data and can export or migrate it any time.
Yes. You can delete individual scrobbles or your entire history at any time.

​
Scrobbling & integrations

Scrobbling is the act of automatically recording the songs you play — artist, track, album, timestamp, duration, etc. — and publishing them to your profile.
Yes — especially with Spotify and supported native clients.

​
Self-hosting

Absolutely. Rocksky is designed to be fully self-hostable.
It requires Docker, some technical knowledge, and ongoing maintenance. Detailed guides and Docker Compose files are provided. A simpler one-click setup is planned.
Yes.

​
Social & features

A real-time decentralized feed showing what your Bluesky friends (and other Rocksky users) are listening to right now.
Yes — likes and a shoutbox-style commenting system are supported.
On the roadmap (high priority).

​
Troubleshooting

  1. Check that the scrobbler is pointing to the correct Rocksky endpoint
  2. Verify your API key (if using manual setup)
  3. Make sure your player is sending the required metadata
The hosted version is still in active development; performance is improving quickly. Self-hosting close to you usually feels faster.

​
Development

Yes. Rocksky is open source and lives on Tangled at tangled.org/@rocksky.app/rocksky. You can explore the source, self-host, build integrations, and contribute.
