Loonify

Available services & stack

A closer look at the music catalogs, lyrics providers, and the upcoming Tauri engine.

Music sources

Spotify

Search and catalog browsing run through the Spotify Web API.

SoundCloud

First fallback when a track isn't streamable from the primary catalog.

Yandex Music

Direct high-bitrate streams, used as an additional fallback tier.

YouTube

Last-resort fallback so a track is almost never unplayable.

Hitmo

An extra catalog folded into the same weighted-scoring fallback chain.

Next-gen engine: Tauri + Rust

Why we decided to rebuild the entire application on a compiled Rust foundation.

Under 60 MB RAM usage

No bloated background runtimes. Loonify leaves your system memory free for games and work.

Instant startup

Compiled native binary launches in milliseconds with zero cold-start delay.

Hardware-accelerated audio

Direct OS audio bindings with low-latency decoding and gapless transitions.

Lyrics providers

SpicyLyrics

Queried first for high-accuracy word-level sync.

Musixmatch

Broad catalog coverage as a second pass.

LRCLIB

Open, community-sourced synced lyrics as a fallback.
