Philosophy

No browser engine.
No unnecessary overhead.

Most music players ship an entire browser runtime to render their interface. Furinar is built natively with Rust and Slint — a compiled UI toolkit that produces a lean binary. The result: instant launch, minimal footprint, and a player that stays quietly in the background.

  • Opens in milliseconds
  • 2–10 MB of RAM — consistently
  • A single portable executable
  • No runtime dependencies on Windows

Features

Everything a real player needs.

No cloud sync, no subscriptions, no tracking. Just your local library, played right.

Full Playback Control

Play, pause, stop, seek, adjust volume, and navigate tracks with clean controls. Loop modes — off, single track, or full playlist — plus shuffle. Furinar picks up exactly where you left off on every reopen.

  • MP3
  • FLAC
  • WAV
  • OGG
  • M4A

Multiple Libraries as Tabs

Open as many folders as you want — each becomes its own tab. Switching between libraries never interrupts what's currently playing. Optional recursive subfolder scanning means no track is left behind.

  • Folder tabs — each library independent
  • Recursive subfolder scanning
  • ID3 / Vorbis tag reading — title, artist
  • Falls back gracefully to filename

Instant Search & Navigation

Search by track title or artist across your active library. Type directly into the search field and results filter in real time with zero delay.

  • Live filtering as you type
  • Matches on title, artist, or filename
  • Preserves your active playlist state

Synchronized Lyrics (LRC)

Furinar automatically detects and loads synced .lrc files alongside your tracks. The lyrics view highlights lines in sync with playback time.

  • Auto-loads .lrc files with same basename
  • Real-time line synchronization
  • Clean scrolling lyrics view

Native System Integration

Furinar feels like part of the OS. On Windows, playback controls appear directly in the taskbar thumbnail and in the system media overlay. On Linux, MPRIS integration connects it to desktop media controls.

  • Windows taskbar thumbnail controls
  • SMTC — system media keys & action center
  • MPRIS on Linux
  • Keyboard: Space ← → ↑ ↓ Enter

Native

A desktop app.
Actually a desktop app.

Furinar is a compiled binary — not an Electron wrapper, not a web view. It integrates cleanly with the OS: frameless window, custom title bar, Aero Snap, rounded corners on Windows 11, and native media controls on both platforms. Configuration is a plain JSON file you can edit by hand.
