Woofer, a Spotify Client Without a Browser Engine

usewoofer.com Observed source
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A fast native Spotify client for macOS, Windows, and Linux, with sandboxed WebAssembly plugins.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

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.
