Share Links

Share a track or album with anyone via a link. The recipient plays it in their browser — no account, no app needed.

How it works

1. Right-click a track or album in bae and choose Share
2. bae generates a URL like https://your-server.com/share/{token}
3. Send the link to anyone

The recipient opens the link and sees cover art, track info, and an audio player. They can listen and download.

What recipients see

• Cover art and track metadata
• Audio player with playback controls
• Download button for each track
• For albums, the full track list with individual playback and download

Server requirement

Share links require a server reachable from the internet:

• bae-desktop (GUI or --headless) — set a public URL in Settings > Server. bae-desktop serves share data directly from the cloud home.
• bae-proxy — for zero-knowledge cloud hosting. bae-web fetches encrypted share data through bae-proxy and decrypts in the browser.

Links can optionally expire. Expired links stop working.
