Kalinka plays the music you already own, indexes every track, fixes the messy tags, and lets you find anything just by describing the mood you are in.
Kalinka understands what your music feels like, not just what it is named. Describe a mood, a moment, or a vibe — it searches your own collection and builds the answer. All of it runs locally.
No subscription, no cloud library, no middleman. Kalinka runs on your machine and works with the files you already have — and makes sense of them.
Completely free and runs on your own hardware. Your library never leaves your machine — no accounts, no tracking, no monthly fee.
Point it at your folders and Kalinka scans every track, building a fast, searchable index of everything you own.
Find music by describing it. “Something melancholic for tonight” returns the right tracks from your library — no playlists required.
Untitled tracks, blank artists, wrong albums — Kalinka detects gaps and identifies the right metadata automatically.
Once tagged, your library sorts itself into clean artists, albums and genres — the structure you always wished it had.
Currently supports MP3 and FLAC, with gapless playback. Bit-perfect output is available for supported formats, but it is most meaningful with FLAC where there is no lossy compression.
Most music libraries are a graveyard of track01.mp3 and blank artist fields. Kalinka indexes the lot, works out what each track actually is, and puts it in order.
Free, local-first, and yours. Point it at your music and let it do the rest.
