mamonia 0.1.18

Local-first music discovery CLI inspired by Prawo Mamonia.

A music discovery tool built on the idea that your taste matters more than an algorithm. Inspired by Engineer Mamoń's Principle / Prawo inżyniera Mamonia.

mamonia learns what you enjoy from the music you already listen to. It starts from playlists and libraries you already like, builds a reusable profile of your taste, then explores artist networks and music databases to find fresh releases you might dig.

It runs through a clean, guided menu - no terminal flags to memorize, no .env or .json wrangling.

Your data stays on your machine. No tracking. No mystery.

Open it up, point it at a playlist, and discover something new. Simple as that.

How it works:

Give mamonia a Spotify or Tidal playlist (or even a .txt or .csv file).

Based on this, the tool will:

• Learn your taste — examine the artists you listen to, look them up across multiple music databases
• Explore connections — find collaborators, similar artists, and shared fan communities
• Discover candidates — find releases from everyone connected to the artists you love
• Handle variants intelligently — mamonia knows how to pick up the difference between deluxe editions, remasters, and regional versions
• Create a playlist on Spotify or Tidal, or save it as .csv, .txt, or .json
• Respect your time frame — focusing on the last 6 months, last year, or any era you choose
• Remember what it has already found — won't recommend the same thing twice

Everything is stored locally in SQLite: your taste profile, what's already been recommended, cached data, everything. Nothing goes to the cloud.

Where your data lives:

• Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Mamonia
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Mamonia
• Linux: ${XDG_STATE_HOME}/mamonia (or ~/.local/state/mamonia)

This is where your taste profile, recommendation history, cache, and API credentials are kept — safely, locally, just for you.

Install

pip install mamonia

Then run:

mamonia

A guided menu will walk you through the rest.

Setup

You'll need API keys from Spotify, Last.fm, Tidal, and ListenBrainz.

When mamonia runs for the first time, you can enter them - they're saved securely in your user directory.

For all CLI commands and options, see the CLI Reference. For full documentation, see docs/README.md.
