Tidalfast TIDAL, native and fast

A lightweight TIDAL client for Linux and Windows. Lossless playback on your computer, your favourites and playlists, plugins, and a now-playing view with lyrics.

Tidalfast Home with the playlist library, recommendations, queue, and player visible
⚡

Lightweight

Opens in well under a second and typically uses just 100–250 MB of memory.

🦀

Native, in Rust

Built with egui and fastframe, the framework behind a family of native desktop apps. No browser engine inside.

🔊

TIDAL, played locally

Sign in with your TIDAL account and play lossless FLAC (or AAC) straight from your computer. A TIDAL subscription is required.

📚

Library and search

Browse your favourites, playlists, albums, artists, and Mixes & Radio. Search the catalogue and edit playlists you own.

🎨

Themes

Choose TIDAL’s dark or light look, or follow your system as it changes, while the music keeps playing. With plugins on, pick from 52 more themes.

🎧

Now playing

Click the player bar to slide up the big cover with similar tracks, credits, and lyrics, and an equalizer in Settings.

🧩

Plugins

Optional TidaLuna plugin support, off by default, with one switch in Settings. Risky actions ask first, and removing a plugin deletes everything it left. No built-in plugins.

⌨️

Desktop controls

Use keyboard shortcuts and your keyboard’s media keys. Keep the music playing after you close the window.

WhatsApp, just as fast

Want WhatsApp just as fast and native? ZapFast is Tidalfast’s sibling: the same native interface, for WhatsApp. Both are built on fastframe, the shared foundation for native Rust apps built with egui.
