Pawse

A fast, native music player for your local library, built in Rust and GPUI, with a buttery-smooth, customizable 120+ fps interface, exclusive (bit-perfect) output, and a rich feature set.

Highlights

• Bit-perfect playback — exclusive output on Windows and macOS, native sample rate on Linux, with automatic sample-rate / bit-depth matching and a live bit-perfect indicator.
• Fluid, minimal UI — smooth at 120+ fps, 20+ themes plus an adaptive one that follows the cover art, 20 UI languages; hide any control, label or column you never use.
• One library, many sources — local files, Subsonic/Navidrome, Jellyfin, DLNA/UPnP servers and torrents, mixed into one library.
• Cast anywhere — AirPlay 1 & 2, Chromecast and DLNA renderers, switchable mid-track.
• Sound-based radio — optional on-device analysis finds tracks that sound alike, for radio, queue mixes and genres detected from the audio.
• Remote control — a built-in web remote for any phone or browser on your network: player, queue and full library browsing.
• Scrobbling — Last.fm, Libre.fm, ListenBrainz and a local CSV log, all at once, with rewrite rules and loved-track sync.
