achawatch
A glassmorphic tray music player for Linux. Scans your own music folders, plays everything through a native Rust audio pipeline, and lives as a small draggable orb on your desktop — no cloud, no accounts, no telemetry.
Install from the terminal
curl -LO https://github.com/estifanosbereket1/achawach/releases/latest/download/achawatch_0.1.0_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./achawatch_0.1.0_amd64.debLibrary
Scans your own folders (mp3/flac/ogg/m4a/wav), reads tags and embedded artwork, and organizes everything into Tracks, Artists, Albums, Genres, and Playlists.
Playback
Queue, shuffle, repeat, seek, volume, and a 10-band equalizer, all running through a native Rust audio pipeline.
Right-click menus
Right-click (or two-finger-click) a track, album, or artist for Play Now / Play Next / Queue / Add to Favs, plus quick navigation to that track's album or artist.
Favorites & Pinned
Add to Favs collects tracks into an auto-managed playlist; pin albums for quick access from the Play Now dashboard.
Playlists
Create, rename, delete, reorder, and import/export as .m3u.
Sleep timer & auto-watch
Auto-pause after a chosen duration, and the library re-scans automatically when files change on disk.
Lyrics
Synced or plain lyrics display for the current track.
MPRIS media keys
Play/pause/next/previous from your keyboard or desktop shell's media widget, like any other native Linux media player.
Tray + orb
Lives as a small transparent, draggable orb showing the current track's artwork, or tucked away in your system tray.
