patari's Introduction

Patari App

Patari app for Debian, OS X and Windows.

This is a wrapper around Patari music site using the wonderful Electron framework.

Why is that good?

No more 'trying to find in which tab is Patari running'
Media keys support! (Yeah, those with ▶ ❚❚ on them.)
Tray icon gives quick access to current playlist

I love Patari and support their vision. So I made this app in my free time.

Issues

If the Windows version crashes on playing any song, please set the compatibility mode for Patari.exe to Windows 7. The bug is currently under investigation.
