Show 'em what you're spinning 🎧
Woosh can put what you're listening to on your profile. Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Tidal, foobar2000. Off by default, opt in from Settings. We deliberately don't read from browsers, so a stray YouTube tab or a guilty Pornhub session is never going to leak into the member list. Promise.
How to turn it on
- Click your avatar in the bottom-left, hit Settings, jump to the General tab.
- Flip Share what you're listening to. Your current track shows up under your name within a couple of seconds.
- Toggle it back off any time. Whatever was being broadcast clears instantly for everyone.
The privacy contract
- Off by default. Nothing is read or sent until you flip the toggle yourself.
- Allowlist only. Five music apps: Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Tidal, foobar2000. Adding more is a one-line change. We went strict.
- No browsers. Windows can't tell music.youtube.com apart from any other YouTube tab at the system-media-controls layer, so every browser session is excluded outright. No exceptions.
- Nothing stored. Your current track lives in volatile memory only. It clears the moment you go offline, log out, or toggle the feature off. Nothing hits a database, nothing ends up in logs.
- Paused = quiet. If music is paused, nothing is broadcast.
Under the hood
- The Rust side reads Windows' System Media Transport Controls (SMTC), reacts to source-app changes and track changes in real time, and pushes updates over our existing SignalR connection.
- Heartbeat every 30 seconds as a safety net. If Windows is being weird you're at most half a minute behind.
- If you have Spotify playing in the background and bring up a YouTube tab, the broadcast stays on Spotify. We only switch when the new source is also on the allowlist.
