The beta · Open now

The closed beta
is open.

Lagu grew up through a closed alpha, a small group of listeners testing against their own libraries. Now the beta is taking testers from this list: join it, pick your platforms, and an invitation follows in the next wave.

Where will you run Lagu? pick at least one — it decides which invite you get

Beta invitations go out from this list in waves, as slots open. One quiet confirmation email, then occasional Lagu updates.

What’s open, where

Three platform families,
one beta list.

Here’s what the beta puts in your hands, and how your invitation reaches you.

Desktop

The full player and the Remote host. Close it to the tray and it keeps playing; your phone can still run the show. Free for good.

What you need

A Plex account, a Plex Media Server, and a music library on it. That’s the whole list.

No Plex password in Lagu

Sign-in happens through Plex’s own PIN flow. Your password never touches Lagu.

No Plex Pass needed

The core player — lossless, gapless, downloads, Remote — works on a free Plex account. Analysis-driven extras light up when the server provides the data.

Away from home?

Streaming from outside your network needs a Plex Pass on the server owner’s account, or a Remote Watch Pass on your own. That one is Plex policy.

Pricing

keep it forever.

One purchase covers a platform family: $1.99 on the App Store covers iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV together, and $1.99 on Google Play covers Android phone, tablet, and TV. Everything below is free while the beta runs.
