Tidal Player for Sailfish OS

August 27, 2025 · View on GitHub

A native Tidal music streaming client for Sailfish OS, built with QML/Qt and Python using the tidalapi v0.7.1 (https://tidalapi.netlify.app/).

As v0.7.1 is not fully compatible with TIDAL anymore, line 114 of tidalapi/user.py is removed during the packaging process.

This project development is driven by Claude 3.5 Sonnet AI. The icon is created by Midjourney.
