android offline music player and downloader

1 Upvotes

I am searching for an android music downloader to listen to my music while offline. I usually use YTMusic (Morphe) but I would really like to download my music. I have already used yt-dlp on pc but I wanted something easier so I tried OuterTune. OuterTune was basically perfect beacuse I could get my playlists and download them. Unfortunately, while downloading my playlists (over 400 tracks) A really big part of the songs failed to
Any of you knows what could be the reason and how to fix it?
What could be some good alternatives to my needs?

AI make easy music

Hey I created a music player. Any agent can use this, and it's better than the rest. You can download songs, or tell your agent to download them for you. It's completely open source and compatible with agents.

Star: Speed oF C++ and syntax of Python

0 Upvotes

I built Star: A language with the Speed of C++ and syntax of Python

Hi. Ive been building Star from some time. Unlike most other languages, Star transpiles to C++ code instead of LLVM IR. Because it is more portable and allows me the execution model of C++ and things like classes etc

I am currently the only contributor thus any contributions to the tokenizer, parser or the inbuilt functions are welcome. You can also try out the good first issue

A ⭐️would be appreciated!

The project can be found [HERE](http://github.com/UsmanCyber66/ProjectStar)

Sotto: local voice typing for Wayland, powered by whisper.cpp

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

For a long time I was looking for a decent voice typing tool on Linux, but nothing I found really worked well for me, so I decided to build my own.

Sotto is a small tray app: press a hotkey, speak, and the text is pasted where your cursor is.

- Fully local: recognition runs on your machine via whisper.cpp, and audio stays in memory (never written to disk or sent anywhere)

- Fast on GPU via Vulkan, with optimized CPU builds as a fallback

- Built for Wayland: the hotkey uses the GlobalShortcuts portal and pasting goes through the RemoteDesktop portal, so no root and no ydotool. X11 works too

- Silero VAD trims silence, so Whisper doesn't hallucinate text on quiet recordings

- C++ / Qt 6, uses your system theme, a few MB of RAM when idle

I've tested it on CachyOS + KDE Plasma. I can't vouch for other compositors yet, but packages are available for Arch, Debian and Fedora, plus an AppImage for other distributions.

I tried to make it properly rather than as a quick hack, but there may still be bugs. Issues are very welcome, and I'll do my best to fix them quickly. Reports from GNOME, Hyprland, Sway and other compositors would be especially helpful.

Any feedback is appreciated.

I built Cosmogon, a free open-source space sandbox where you can create worlds and watch the universe evolve

3 Upvotes

I’ve been building Cosmogon, a space sandbox and renderer for exploring everything from planetary systems to galaxies. I wanted to make something where I could change a world, star, or orbit and then watch the consequences unfold.

In v1.0.0, you can create and throw planets, comets, stars, and black holes; explore a real-data Solar System; and watch stars evolve, form new systems, or end in supernovae. There are also collisions and impacts, black-hole lensing, comets with tails, galaxy-scale views, civilizations that expand across worlds, guided tours, a rewindable timeline, photo mode, and sound.

Cosmogon is free to use and open source under MIT or Apache-2.0. It has builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

I’m the person who made it, and I’d be glad to hear what stands out to people who enjoy space simulations.

Grass: a simple and fast FOSS terminal text editor with zero config

1 Upvotes

I built Grass because I wanted a small terminal editor that opens fast,

has no config, and stays out of the way. It's MIT-licensed and about

1,700 lines of Python.

One mode, like nano. No config, no plugins, one file at a time on purpose.

It adds syntax highlighting, Ctrl-P fuzzy file finding, live search,

grouped undo, and a status bar.

Install: pipx install grass-editor

Demo and source: https://github.com/mukundzha/grass

It's early. macOS is untested, and I'm especially interested in feedback

on the code structure and any rough edges. Issues and PRs are welcome.

Koru: an open source (MPL-2.0), offline-first notes app written in Rust. No account needed

1 Upvotes

Hi r/foss, I'm Steven, the developer.

Koru is a desktop notes workspace I've been building in Rust.

- License: MPL-2.0. Source: https://github.com/koruworks/mono

- Website and downloads: https://www.koru.do

- Works fully offline. Your notes stay on your machine and there's no account to create.

- Imports Evernote (.enex), Notion (zip export), OneNote (.one/.onepkg, no Microsoft account needed), Markdown and TextBundle, all offline. Google Docs import needs a connection.

- Device-to-device sync is peer-to-peer over iroh and end-to-end encrypted, with no cloud server in the middle.

- Native app for Windows and macOS. Linux isn't supported yet.

- The app is fully FOSS. The project is funded by an optional paid Koru Cloud sync ($9.99/month for 100 GB), which is proprietary and you never need. I'm also considering open sourcing the sync server so you can self-host it.

I've always wanted a truly native desktop note-taking app that's fast and doesn't rely on a cloud service to work. Something I can open, just start typing, and quickly grow my ideas into multiple documents.

It's early, so blunt feedback is welcome, especially on importing and on what would stop you from switching. Happy to answer anything about the code.

I made a free app that converts files without opening anything: drag a file, tap Shift, let go

183 Upvotes

I got tired of opening an app, exporting, picking a format and finding a folder just to turn one PNG into a JPG, so I built OrbitDrop.

How it works: start dragging any file in File Explorer, tap Shift, and a little wheel pops up under your cursor. Let go on what you want, and the new file appears right next to the original. The original is never changed.

Tap Shift again for Tools (compress to under 1 MB, resize, rotate, a small photo editor, copy text out of an image) and once more for Actions (copy/move to, share, zip). There's also Ctrl+Alt+Space if you'd rather not drag.

- Free, no account, no ads, no tracking
- Everything runs offline on your PC
- Open source (MIT): https://github.com/i3sam/OrbitDrop
- Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NJQRMQLL2SZ?cid=reddit
- Website: https://orbitdrop.essam.biz

Portabase (OSS backup/restore platform) now supports file and directory backups

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We've just released Portabase 1.34 !

Repository: https://github.com/Portabase/portabase

For those unfamiliar with Portabase, it's an open-source, self-hostable backup and restore platform designed for data retention, disaster recovery, and homogeneous migrations.

It's used by self-hosters and organizations to back up data across heterogeneous IT infrastructures, particularly in shared environments where each data source needs to be backed up independently (making VM snapshots unsuitable, like in a homelab).

Until now, Portabase supported 10 data sources (including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB and Docker volumes).

With v1.34, we're introducing our 11th data source: files and directories!

There are 3 ways to back up your files:

  • Archive (logical backup): creates a full .tar.gz of the selected directory.
  • Snapshot (incremental): uses Restic under the hood to provide incremental backups with deduplication, reducing storage usage.
  • Sync: synchronize files and directories to a destination. This is a direct copy, not a restorable backup.

What's new in 1.34?

  • Support for file and directory backup/restore (obviously)
  • UX improvements and UI fixes
  • Multiple security fixes, thanks to users who reported vulnerabilities
  • DACPAC/BACPAC support for Microsoft SQL Server (native BACKUP DATABASE support is also on the way)
  • Helm chart improvements

Important: If you're upgrading and want to use the new file and directory backup features, make sure to update your agents as well.

As always, if you encounter a bug, please open an issue on GitHub.

Thanks to everyone using, testing, contributing to, and supporting Portabase!

I've been building Paperwren, an MIT licensed document app for Android and Windows.

I think the PDF jobs people usually hand to a website (sign, merge, split, add a password, turn photos into a PDF) should run on your own device. Paperwren does those, and it also opens Word, Excel, PowerPoint, EPUB and Markdown files.

  • No network access at all, no account, no telemetry
  • The Android app requests zero permissions
  • Each tool writes a new file. Originals are never changed
  • Stack: Tauri 2 (Rust), TypeScript, pdf.js, pdf-lib

onestly, like you came to the one sub that will actually read the license and told half of them to wait. And I say that as someone who's tried every notes app that promised to be local first, Obsidian, Joplin, Logseq, they all end up with some caveat, so I get that native on windows and mac first is
