Overview
Noctis is a free desktop music player for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with gapless playback, synced lyrics, theming, and no telemetry.
About
Noctis plays local lossless and lossy music files on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Its library includes songs, albums, artists, folders, playlists, favourites, Cover Flow, and full-screen lyrics. It also offers gapless playback, ReplayGain, crossfade, AutoMix, a parametric EQ, and synced lyrics.
Noctis is open source under the MIT license, requires no account, and includes no telemetry or analytics. It is for music you already have, not a streaming catalog. The app contacts GitHub to check for updates and Deezer to fetch artist portraits.
