Roadmap

Frontend · UI

Reduced minimum window size constraint from 1280x720 to 800x600, allowing the app to properly scale down when snapped into half-screen layouts on 1080p and lower resolution monitors.

Frontend

A dedicated page in Settings to install, enable, disable, and uninstall plugins dynamically.

Architecture

Lua and webhook plugins loaded from plugin.json, with permission-gated APIs and playback event dispatch.

File System

Support for custom .aqx (Aqloss Extension) archive format with manifest.json validation and extraction.

Core · Audio

Fallback to fetching local image files (e.g., cover.jpg or folder.jpg) from the music directory when embedded album art is missing.

Integrations

Add support for scrobbling playback history to ListenBrainz as an alternative or addition to the existing Last.fm integration.

Frontend · UI

Redesign the album page to adapt gracefully on smaller screens, utilizing a single-column layout instead of a dense grid.

Frontend · UI

Switchable Standalone (custom Aqloss UI) and Material Design 3 modes. M3 uses NavigationBar/Rail, ListTile, Card, and optional Material You dynamic colour.

Frontend · UI

Toggle between grid and detail list views on the album page, persisted in settings.

Core · Audio

Seek targets are no longer truncated to whole seconds - playback lands exactly where the seek bar says.

Audio · DSP

256-tap cubic sinc resampler, EQ biquads in double precision with flat-band bypass, equal-power crossfade, and click-free seek/resume.

Frontend · UI

Expanded desktop nav by default, shared M3 page scaffold, interactive queue drawer and mini player, track hover actions, Now Playing wide layout, and tighter Settings sidebar.

Frontend · Plugins

Uninstall deletes the real install directory by manifest id; install flattens nested .aqx zips, verifies registry load, and surfaces errors instead of failing silently.

Frontend · Windows

Custom Flutter Windows installer

Audio · DSP

Replace the 10-band graphic EQ with a parametric EQ - more control per band, Q factor, shelf filters.

Audio · DSP

Binaural crossfeed filter for headphone listening - reduces fatigue on hard-panned recordings.

Audio · DSP

Mid/side processing for adjusting stereo width without clipping.

Audio · Backend

Built-in scanner to compute and write ReplayGain tags to files, not just read them.

Player · Playback

A visual waveform of the audio file displayed as a seek bar, rather than a standard progress bar.

Player · Playback

Set points A and B for a specific repeat section within a track.

Player · Playback

Automatically stop playback after a specified time.

Player · Playback

Adjust the playback speed of audio files.

Player · Playback

Remember the last position of each track when the app is closed and reopened.

Library · Organization

Edit ID3/Vorbis metadata (title, artist, album, year, genre, cover) directly from the UI.

Library · Organization

Filter the library by genre, year, format, and bit depth without going into the settings.

Library · Organization

Fetch the cover from MusicBrainz or the Cover Art Archive if the file doesn't have a cover.

Library · Organization

Sort by album, artist, and track number all at once, not just by a single field.

Audio · DSP

Save/load EQ settings as named presets. Includes several default presets (Rock, Classical, Vocal).

Audio · DSP

Mid/side balance control to widen or narrow the stereo image.

Audio · DSP

EBU R128 / LUFS-based loudness normalization as an alternative to ReplayGain.

Frontend · Integration

Automatic metadata enrichment via MusicBrainz: genre, year, ISRC, label.

Frontend · UI

Track details: all tags, codec information, file path, ReplayGain values, play count.

Frontend · UI

A notification when a folder has finished scanning, a scrobble has failed, or an update is available.

System · Platform

Minimize to the system tray, a small control panel pops up from the tray icon without opening the full app.

System · Platform

Export or import all settings and playlists as a single JSON file.

System · Platform

Detect tracks in the library whose files have been moved or deleted, then offer to remove or relocate them.

System · Platform

Improved notification controls, lock screen art, and scoped storage handling in Android 13 and later.
