Field notes
Woofer combines a native desktop player with local-network receiver discovery through mDNS, including support for receivers running librespot or spotifyd. Its extension model uses single WebAssembly files: the page says Woofer fetches and caches network data for each plugin while enforcing declared domains. The built-in player does not depend on plugins, and the linked catalog is described as requiring a reviewed merge before an extension is listed.
