What's inside

Everything you want from a music app. None of the tabs.

gooseneck pulls discographies straight from YouTube Music, plays them through mpv, and keeps going after you close the window.

◉

Instant discographies

Albums, singles & EPs, top songs, bios and related artists in about half a second, cached locally so anything you've visited works offline.

▶

A real player

Pause, skip, seek, repeat, shuffle, play-next and a queue. Music keeps playing after you quit.

∞

Endless radio

Seed it with an artist and it drifts through related ones, never repeating a track.

↓

Offline downloads

Save a track, an album or a whole artist. Downloaded music plays from disk, instantly.

♫

Scrobbling

A private local listening log, plus ListenBrainz and Last.fm if you want them.

❖

Your own catalogs

Add the artists we missed, or follow a friend's list. Everything merges.

◐

Wears your theme

On Omarchy it follows your desktop theme live. Everywhere else, pick from 14.

⌘

Fully scriptable

Every action is a command with --json output and tab completion.

Themes

Go on, taste one.

These are the exact palettes the TUI ships with. Click one and this whole page repaints, the same way gooseneck does when you press t. (You can press t here too.)

  • Omarchy users: the default auto theme follows your desktop and repaints the moment you run omarchy theme set.
  • Or keep your terminal's own colours with the system theme.
The catalog

1,655 artists, tagged with love.

Chazzanim and chassidish legends, Israeli stars, kumzitz singers, a cappella groups, DJs and kids' music. Refreshed daily, and you can bolt on your own.

The CLI

Everything the TUI does, one command away.

Same player, same queue, from any shell, script or window-manager keybinding. Fuzzy names everywhere, --json on every listing.

  • Status bars: goose now --format '{title} — {artist}'
  • Media keys: bind goose toggle and goose next
  • Completion for zsh, bash, fish and PowerShell, artist and album names included
