Ongaku v0.1.48

[0.1.48] - 2026-10-22

Safer tool installation

• The helper tools used for YouTube (yt-dlp and ffmpeg) are now downloaded only from their official sources and checked against published fingerprints before they're installed.
• Installation is safer and more reliable, and the app verifies the tools again before each use.

Protection against very large or stuck requests

• YouTube playlists are limited to 500 songs per request.
• Downloads are limited to 1 GB per song, and requests that take too long are stopped automatically with retries.

Smaller visual fix

• The animated layer on the album cover has a softer blur.

Ongaku v0.1.45

[0.1.45] - 2026-10-21

Smoother window dragging

• Using the search bar in the command palette (Ctrl+K) or the library header buttons no longer accidentally moves the window.

Glass-style look restored

• Cards, table headers, and song panels have a frosted-glass effect again, so the wallpaper shows through more clearly and text stays readable.

Better audio visualizer

• The bars over the album cover in "Now Playing" now have better contrast, whether you use light or dark mode.

Under the hood

• The interface and styling were moved into shared packages, so the upcoming web version can reuse them.
• Documentation was updated to reflect the new project structure and commands.

Ongaku v0.1.44

[0.1.44] - 2026-10-21

YouTube streaming

• Clicking a YouTube song multiple times no longer restarts or interrupts it while it's loading. The first click starts playback, and extra clicks are ignored until it's ready.
• Selecting a different song while one is loading still works normally.

Window and headers

• You can now drag the window by any empty area of the top bar, and double-click it to maximize or restore.
• Song and playlist headers handle long names better, with truncated breadcrumbs and simplified layouts on small screens.
• The table header is more accessible for screen readers.

Fixes

• Fixed the Ongaku logo not showing in the installed version of the app.

Ongaku v0.1.43

[0.1.43] - 2026-10-21

New window design

• The app now uses its own custom title bar instead of the system's default window frame, for a more modern look.
• Minimize, maximize/restore, and close buttons are built into the top bar, and the close button turns red on hover.
• You can drag the window by its top bar, and it has a minimum size so the layout never breaks.
• The sidebar header now shows the Ongaku logo and lines up with the top bar.

Consistent page headers

• All pages now share the same top bar design, with no more duplicated headers.

Open source

• Ongaku is now released under the MIT License.

Changelog

[0.1.41] - 2026-10-20

Live audio visualizer

• The "Now Playing" screen now shows a real-time bar visualizer that reacts to the music, for both local and streaming songs.
• The visualizer pauses when you leave the screen and respects reduced-motion settings for users who prefer less animation.

Download queue

• Download cards now share one consistent design, with clear states for downloading, uploading, completed, warning, and error.
• A new warning state appears when a download fails due to a network issue.
• Completed downloads link directly to their destination playlist.

Settings

• Settings options (theme, player position, folder colors, wallpapers, and blur) now use a unified, more consistent design.
• New "None" option for wallpaper blur, which fully turns off the blur effect.
• Wallpaper cards show a clear selected state, with a delete button that appears on hover.
• Setting cards have a slightly stronger shadow and frosted-glass effect.

Navigation

• Press Escape on the "Now Playing" screen to go back.
• The album cover on the "Now Playing" screen has a smooth 3D tilt effect.
• Page headers are more transparent and blend better with your wallpaper.

New "Now Playing" screen

• New full-screen view for the song you're listening to, available from the local player, the playlist header, and the active song in a list.
• The background takes its color from the album cover, and the cover slides when you move to the next or previous song.
• Hover over the cover for a 3D tilt effect and a play/pause button.
• A breadcrumb shows the current playlist and song, and an empty state appears when nothing is playing.

Download queue

• The download queue is redesigned with cards for each status (queued, downloading, completed, error).
• Shows progress, downloaded size, and destination playlist, with a summary of active, queued, completed, and failed tasks.
• You can clear finished downloads in one click.
• The list is faster with large queues.

Faster lists and search

Ongaku v0.1.39

[0.1.39] - 2026-10-19

Faster, more reliable app

• Pages now load their data earlier, so switching between Playlists and Settings feels more immediate.
• Song and playlist data is now managed in a cleaner, more organized way behind the scenes, which makes the app easier to maintain and update.

Search button

• All search bars (library, playlists, songs in a playlist, and YouTube search) now share the same button.
• On desktop it shows the placeholder or your current search and the ⌘K shortcut; on mobile it shrinks to a compact icon to save space.
• Page headers are slightly more readable thanks to a soft frosted background when you scroll.

Under the hood

• Backend code was reorganized into smaller, focused modules, making future updates faster and less error-prone.
• Unused design files were removed from the project.
