Psst

Psst is a native Spotify client written in Rust that provides a graphical user interface without relying on Electron. It runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS and requires a Spotify Premium account for playback. The application supports core Spotify functions such as browsing saved albums, tracks, and playlists, searching for artists or releases, and controlling playback through media keys, volume, and loudness normalization. It also includes features like podcast playback, dark theme, and support for opening Spotify links directly from the search bar.

The client is built on the Druid UI library, with GTK as the default backend on Linux and options for X11 and upcoming Wayland support. Users can install pre‑compiled binaries from GitHub releases, the AUR, or Homebrew, or build the program from source using the stable Rust toolchain. Documentation outlines platform‑specific dependencies and build steps for each supported operating system.

Development is ongoing, with a roadmap that lists completed items such as track playback, browsing, and queue management, while future work targets network resilience, advanced playlist management, and improved caching. Contributions are welcomed from the community.
