Lyrion Music Server in your terminal.
A fast, keyboard & mouse driven terminal UI for Lyrion Music Server, written in Rust. Browse and search your music library, internet radio and streaming apps — with inline album art and an adaptive accent color.
Runs natively on
Everything, in the terminal
Control playback across multiple players with sync and global-volume support, and enjoy a now-playing panel with inline album art that adapts the UI's accent color to the current cover. Full mouse support throughout — while every action also has a keyboard shortcut.
Browse your library
Artists → Albums → Tracks, or jump straight to All Tracks. Recently Played Artists and New Music for quick access.
Cover-art thumbnails
Real album covers in every list. Artists show a representative cover; folders show their first track's art, descending through subfolders.
Search & local filter
Search artists, albums, tracks and playlists. Hit / to instantly narrow whatever list you're already viewing.
Radio & streaming apps
Browse and play internet radio (TuneIn) and installed Lyrion apps — Spotify, Deezer, Bandcamp — with full hierarchical navigation.
Multi-player & sync
Switch between players, toggle power, and open a sync modal to join or leave sync groups. Global volume adjusts every player at once.
Adaptive theme
The accent color is auto-generated from the current track's album art and applied to the progress bar, borders and scrollbars.
Full mouse support
Click to navigate, play, seek the progress bar, adjust volume, manage queues, sync players and edit settings — all clickable.
Auto-discovery
Finds your Lyrion server on the local network via UDP broadcast on startup, and reconnects gracefully when it goes away.
Fast on huge libraries
Only visible rows are built each frame and thumbnails are pre-encoded off the draw path — navigation stays fluid on thousands of tracks.
Screenshots
Click any image to open the gallery — use the arrows, swipe, or ← / → keys.
Install
A running Lyrion Music Server (default localhost:9000) is all you need. A Nerd Font and an image-capable terminal are optional bonuses.

Then just run lyrtui. On first launch it broadcasts a UDP discovery packet to find your server; press c any time to configure host, port and more.
