THE GOOD STUFF

Everything you need.
Nothing in your way.

All the everyday controls you expect, thoughtfully tucked into a compact desktop companion.

See the whole song

Album art, title, artist, album, and progress are right where you need them, with artwork gracefully falling back when it’s missing.

01 / THE ESSENTIALS

Move between players

Choose from available MPRIS players. The app follows along as players open, close, and change tracks.

02 / YOUR CHOICE

Control the details

Play, pause, skip, seek, and adjust volume. Shuffle, repeat, and a scrollable queue appear when your player supports them.

03 / FULL CONTROL

Fits your desktop

Switch to compact mode, keep it in the background, or use a status indicator when your desktop supports one.

04 / MADE FOR LINUX
FEELS RIGHT AT HOME

Made for the Linux desktop.

Built with GTK4 and libadwaita, MPRIS MiniPlayer speaks the same MPRIS language as your favorite media apps. No account, no music library to import, no player lock-in.
