🌱 Getting Started

What is Terrarium?

A quick overview of what Terrarium is, how it works, and why it exists.

When an app needs attention

🪴 Your Terrarium

Sharing a terrarium with your household

Up to five members can share an account holder's apps and storage, each signing in as themselves.

Uninstall an app, and get it back

Uninstalling keeps the app's data for 30 days. Reinstall within that time and you can pick up where you left off.

Add music to your library from the Terrarium dashboard. Upload individual files or zip archives — beets automatically tags, organizes, and enriches them.

Connect your phone to your music

Stream from Navidrome on your phone using Symfonium (Android) or Substreamer (iOS). Works with any Subsonic-compatible app.
