SONE for TIDAL

The native, high-fidelity TIDAL client Linux has been missing.

SONE is a lightweight, native desktop client for TIDAL — not a browser tab, and not a heavy Electron app that bundles its own browser engine. Built with Tauri and Rust, it gives Linux users a first-class streaming experience that pairs an intuitive, beautifully crafted user interface with true bit-perfect output straight to your DAC. You shouldn't have to choose between a great-looking app and great-sounding audio — SONE delivers both.

Uncompromising Audio Quality

Most browsers and Electron apps quietly downgrade your music by forcing it through the system mixer. SONE can bypass it entirely.

• Bit-perfect ALSA output — Bypasses PulseAudio and PipeWire entirely, sending the unaltered signal straight to your DAC.
• Hi-Res lossless — FLAC streaming 24-bit/192kHz (MAX).
• Signal Path Transparency — A dedicated panel probes your live GStreamer pipeline and OS mixer, flagging any format mismatch so you can verify a pristine, bit-clean output.
• Smart DAC matching & ReplayGain — Auto-detects supported hardware sample rates and normalizes volume across tracks and albums.
• Gapless playback — Seamless, silence-free transitions between tracks.

Premium, Modern UI/UX

A polished interface that feels right at home on a modern Linux desktop environment.

• Deep customization — 12 built-in theme presets, a full color picker for accents, and seamless Light/Dark mode switching.
• Floating miniplayer — A sleek, resizable, adaptive compact window with playback controls and album art.
• Immersive full-screen player — Blurred album-art backdrop, auto-hiding controls, and karaoke-style real-time synced lyrics.
• Smooth & responsive — GPU-accelerated scrolling and animations, with a layout that scales from 1 to 6 columns to fit any window size.
• Native feel — Full MPRIS integration (media keys), system-tray minimization, and customizable global keyboard shortcuts.

Powerful Integrations

• Multi-service scrobbling — Built-in Last.fm, Libre.fm, and ListenBrainz support with full ISRC and MusicBrainz metadata.
• Discord Rich Presence — Show your current track with album art directly on your Discord profile.
• MCP server — A built-in Model Context Protocol server lets external AI agents (like Claude Code or Codex) search your library and control playback.
• Deep links & proxy support — Open tidal:// links directly in SONE; route traffic through HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 proxies.

SONE is a free and open-source, unofficial client and requires an active TIDAL subscription. It is a streaming client only and does not support offline downloads.
