Rustwave

A lightweight Linux desktop wrapper for Brain.fm, built with Tauri 2.

Brain.fm is a music app designed to improve focus, relaxation, and sleep. Rustwave gives it a native desktop experience on Linux — no browser tab needed. Your session is persisted across launches, so you log in once and stay logged in.

---

Features

• Native desktop window for Brain.fm on Linux
• Persistent login session (no re-authentication on every launch)
• Packages for Debian/Ubuntu (.deb) and Fedora/RHEL (.rpm) with GStreamer dependencies declared automatically
• Raw binary available for any Linux distribution

---

Installation

Debian / Ubuntu / Mint

sudo apt install ./rustwave_0.1.0_amd64.deb

Fedora / RHEL / openSUSE

sudo dnf install ./rustwave-0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm

Arch / EndeavourOS / Manjaro

Install using the provided pkg/ directory, which builds a native pacman package:

1. Install build dependencies (first time only):

sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk-4.1 gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-bad gst-libav

2. Build and install the package:

cd pkg
makepkg -sf
sudo pacman -U rustwave-0.1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

This installs:

• The binary to /usr/bin/rustwave (available system-wide on PATH)
• The app icon to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/
• A .desktop file to /usr/share/applications/ so Rustwave appears in your app launcher with the correct icon

To update after rebuilding:

cargo tauri build
cp src-tauri/target/release/rustwave pkg/
cd pkg && makepkg -sf
sudo pacman -U rustwave-0.1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
