What it is

Folia is a music player whose main feature is full-screen, animated lyric display with many visual themes and AI-generated color schemes. It plays from NetEase Cloud Music, Kugou, QQ Music, Navidrome servers and local libraries, matching lyrics and cover art automatically and reading LRC, TTML, KRC and other lyric files. Listeners who want lyrics shown like a music video can run it as an Electron desktop app, deploy the web version as a PWA, or self-host it with Docker. The desktop build also supports experimental mods that add new animations, backgrounds and commands.
