Local-first MusicBrainz tracker with CLI and web UI when Spotify notifications fail.

Strengths

•MusicBrainz API integration avoids Spotify lock-in and expensive paid subscription tiers.
•Dual CLI and local web UI offers flexible interaction modes for users.
•SQLite storage ensures privacy and zero server dependency for personal release data.

Weaknesses

•MusicBrainz data quality varies significantly compared to commercial streaming service metadata.
•Email notifications require manual SMTP configuration instead of native push services.

Post Description

I always seem to miss new albums from music artists I like, and I haven't been happy with any existing services (they either cost $ or only work with Spotify, which doesn't have all the artists I listen to). So I built a simple tool to pull data from MusicBrainz for whatever artists you want.

It runs entirely locally (sqlite db) and can be used as a CLI (also works well with agents) or with a local web UI. It can optionally notify you with emails, or you can just check it periodically. I've already found a bunch of releases I missed from my favorite artists.
