* feat(settings): clock format setting (Auto / 24h / 12h) Reported on the Psysonic Discord — the Queue side panel's ETA label and the sleep-timer preview both render via `formatClockTime`, which just calls `toLocaleTimeString` and so follows the user's system locale. On en-US that means AM/PM, with no in-app way out. Add a tri-state **Clock Format** setting under **Settings → System → App Behavior**: * `auto` (default) — keep the existing locale-driven behaviour, so bestehende installs are unaffected on first launch. * `24h` — force 24-hour wall-clock output everywhere `formatClockTime` is used. * `12h` — force AM/PM output. Wired through `authStore` (`clockFormat`, `setClockFormat`), exposed via `CustomSelect` in `SystemTab`, and threaded into the two consumers (`QueueHeader`, `PlaybackDelayModal`) so they re-render on change. `formatClockTime` itself stays a pure helper — it accepts the setting as an optional second argument and maps it to `hour12`. Locale coverage: all nine bundled locales (en, de, es, fr, nl, nb, ru, zh, ro) get the four new settings strings. Pin tests added for the `setClockFormat` setter and the `hour12` mapping in `formatClockTime`. * docs(changelog): clock format setting + contributors (PR #742)
A modern desktop client for self-hosted music libraries
Fast. Native. Beautiful. Built for people who actually care about their music collection.
Psysonic is built primarily for Navidrome and also works with Gonic, Airsonic, LMS and other Subsonic-compatible servers, depending on the features supported by your server.
Available languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Norwegian Bokmål, Dutch, Romanian, Russian and Chinese.
More translations are added over time.
No telemetry • Native performance • Navidrome-first • Community driven
Warning
Psysonic is under active development. Bugs and rough edges can happen, and features may change as the project evolves.
What is Psysonic?
Psysonic is a desktop music client for self-hosted music libraries. It is designed for people who want the freedom of their own server without giving up the comfort, polish and speed of a modern music app.
It is built with Rust, Tauri v2 and React, with a strong focus on responsiveness, customization, practical music-library workflows and a user interface that does not require a manual before you can press play.
Psysonic is optimized first and foremost for Navidrome. Other Subsonic-compatible servers can work well too, but advanced features may depend on server-side support.
