Roadmap
Where Rymflux is headed — the themes we are building for v1 and the ideas we are exploring beyond it.
Roadmap
Rymflux is a local-first, plugin-driven music player: bring your own sources, and Rymflux brings them together — one search, one library, one player.
This page is the public view of where we are headed. It is a living document and will change as we learn. Nothing here is a promise or a release date.
Where we are now
We are pre-release. Rymflux is being built desktop-first and local-first: your music stays on your machine, your library belongs to you, and sources plug in through a documented plugin protocol.
What we are building for v1
Plugins are the source of everything
- A simple, documented protocol that lets anyone write a source plugin — for your local files today, and for any service you care about.
- A reference local-files plugin ships with Rymflux, so the player is useful the moment you install it.
- Plugins run as separate processes, so a plugin can’t take the player down with it.
One player, any source
- A source-agnostic playback engine that plays from any URL or local file.
- A queue that follows you across the app.
- A search that queries every installed source at once and merges the results.
One library that outlives its sources
- Saved content is identified independently of where it came from, so your library stays stable even if a source changes or disappears.
- Favorites, playlists, and playback history — yours, stored locally.
A music room built around listening
- Browse by album, artist, and genre across all your sources.
- An expanded player with artwork, now-playing metadata, and the queue.
- A Home view for continue listening, recently played, and pinned rooms.
Beyond v1
Ideas we are exploring — not commitments:
- More rooms built on the room framework (podcasts, audiobooks, radio, and more).
- Advanced playback (gapless, crossfade).
- Accounts and cloud sync across devices.
- A plugin registry and richer plugin ecosystem.
