About Navidrome Stat
Navidrome Stat is a specialized, self-hosted service designed to track and display your Navidrome usage. Developed as an open-source project by Stepania H, it works by polling the Subsonic getNowPlaying API to monitor your listening habits in real time.
The service carefully tracks listening sessions and stores qualified plays locally using SQLite. All of this collected data is then neatly presented through a dedicated web dashboard. Key configuration capabilities include support for multiple Navidrome servers within a single application instance, along with optional dashboard and API authentication secured via a STATS_API_TOKEN.
