Gelly is a GTK desktop music player for Jellyfin and Navidrome

If you run your own music streaming server via Jellyfin or Navidrome/Subsonic, you’ll want a decent desktop player – Gelly is a solid choice for GNOME. It bills itself as “native, lightweight music player” for the aforementioned streaming servers (and compatible ones). It’s written in Rust and GTK4/libadwaita and, as a good players should, it lets you browse, play and control music playback. Having only recently set-up Jellyfin on my Raspberry Pi 4 (replacing an installation of dust), seeing this on the Flathub front page was a stroke of good timing. Installing Navidrome on Ubuntu is moderately easy too, just […]

EarA, a new open-source tool, aims to nix that. It’s a GTK4 app (with a CLI for those that prefer that) that controls earbud settings from the desktop on devices like the Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds 2. Noise control and ANC levels can be switched with a click. There’s a toggle to disable personalised ANC, in-ear detection and low latency. Gesture behaviours (on supported devices) can be set too. The […]
