An elegant Apple Music desktop client

An elegant Apple Music desktop client. 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.

  • Localised storefront and interface in 32 languages
  • Desktop notifications and Discord Rich Presence
  • Injected Back, Forward, and Reload navigation controls
  • Widevine DRM via CastLabs Electron
  • Wayland and X11 support
  • Bi-directional MPRIS (org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.sidra) over D-Bus
  • Application Indicator:
    • Now Playing: track, artist, album, artwork
    • Playback controls, volume, and mute
  • Start page and last session restore, style switcher, zoom control
