early interface prototype
Phonolite
An open source music player for people who want their library, queue, and listening habits to feel owned again.
Designed like a tool, not a feed.
Library, queue, and playback stay close together so the product feels fast before it feels social.
Readable track state, artwork, audio output, and session controls.
A durable queue that can be rearranged without losing context.
Search and browse views for collections that keep growing.
product principles
A calmer alternative to rented listening.
Library first
Albums, files, playlists, and metadata stay visible instead of being hidden behind recommendations.
Fast by default
The interface is designed around scanning, queueing, filtering, and playing without friction.
Built in public
The project is meant to be hackable, portable, and honest about how playback works.
open source shape
Simple enough to audit. Opinionated enough to feel like a real player.
