* refactor(fullscreen-player): H5 — extract FsLyricsApple + FsLyricsRail + useWordLyricsSync
The two lyrics views become own files under components/fullscreenPlayer/.
Their identical word-sync imperative DOM-update useEffect (only differing in
the .fsa-/.fsr- class prefix) collapses into the shared useWordLyricsSync
hook with a classPrefix arg.
FullscreenPlayer.tsx: 911 → 613 LOC.
* refactor(fullscreen-player): H5 — extract FsArt + FsPortrait + FsSeekbar
The three visual subcomponents move into own files. formatTime moves into
utils/fullscreenPlayerHelpers.ts so FsSeekbar keeps using it.
FullscreenPlayer.tsx: 613 → 421 LOC.
* refactor(fullscreen-player): H5 — extract FsLyricsMenu + FsPlayBtn
The lyrics-settings popover and the isolated play/pause button move into
own files. FullscreenPlayer drops the now-unused lucide-react icons
(Play/Pause/Moon/Sunrise/Music) and the PlaybackDelayModal +
PlaybackScheduleBadge imports — both used only by FsPlayBtn now.
FullscreenPlayer.tsx: 421 → 304 LOC.
* refactor(fullscreen-player): H5 — extract useFsDynamicAccent + useFsArtistPortrait + useFsIdleFade
Pulls three state+effect islands out of FullscreenPlayer:
- useFsDynamicAccent owns the cover-blob fetch + extractCoverColors call
plus the module-level artKey → accent cache that makes same-album song
switches instant.
- useFsArtistPortrait fetches getArtistInfo().largeImageUrl for the right-
side portrait, returning '' until resolved (or when no artistId).
- useFsIdleFade flips isIdle true after 3 s of inactivity, exposes a
throttled mousemove handler, and binds Escape to the provided callback.
FullscreenPlayer.tsx: 304 → 228 LOC.
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.
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.
