No frippery, just quality. A better class of Cider 🍎 Sidra is Apple Music as a proper desktop citizen on Linux, macOS, and Windows - wired into each platform's native media subsystem, not bolted on top. Most Apple Music desktop clients break the audio, mangle the playback controls, or bury you under a custom UI that Apple never signed off on - the problem is worst on Linux. Sidra takes the opposite approach: wrap music.apple.com directly, stay out of the way, and let the audio through untouched. Apple owns the interface and keeps it current; Sidra inherits every improvement automatically. 🎧 Untouched audio - no AudioContext, no DSP, no resampling 🎨 Six bundled themes - Catppuccin, Dracula, Gruvbox, Nord, Rosé Pine, and Solarized - plus a live-reloading custom.css escape hatch 📊 Last.fm scrobbling - opt-in; connect from the tray and approve Sidra in your browser 🎮 Discord Rich Presence - show what you are listening to 🔔 Desktop notifications - track changes, native to each platform 🌍 32 languages - localised storefront and interface 🧭 Back, Forward, and Reload - injected into both Apple Music and Apple Music Classical 🖱️ Scroll to change volume - point at the player bar volume control and scroll; 5% a notch 🎼 Apple Music Classical - switch at runtime from the tray Player submenu 🪟 Wayland and X11 support 🔊 Bi-directional MPRIS (`org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.sidra`) over D-Bus ### Package name * sidra --- ### License * BlueOak-1.0.0 --- ### Last updated * 8 September 2026 - latest/stable * 9 September 2026 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [github.com/wimpysworld/sidra](https://github.com/wimpysworld/sidra "https://github.com/wimpysworld/sidra") --- ### Donations * [github.com/sponsors/flexiondotorg](https://github.com/sponsors/flexiondotorg "https://github.com/sponsors/flexiondotorg") --- ### Source code * [github.com/wimpysworld/sidra](https://github.com/wimpysworld/sidra "https://github.com/wimpysworld/sidra") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/wimpysworld/sidra/issues](https://github.com/wimpysworld/sidra/issues "https://github.com/wimpysworld/sidra/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/sidra/manjaro#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Manjaro Linux and install Sidra Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for *snapd*, select the result, and click Apply. Alternatively, *snapd* can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo pacman -S snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Sidra To install Sidra, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install sidra ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
