Soundnode is an open-source desktop client for SoundCloud built with Electron, Node.js, and Angular.js. It provides a native app experience for streaming, liking, and organizing SoundCloud music on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Use cases

  • play soundcloud music on my desktop
  • soundcloud desktop app for mac
  • listen to my soundcloud likes and playlists offline app
  • control soundcloud with media keyboard keys
  • search and like songs without the browser
  • spotify-like client for soundcloud on linux

When to choose

  • you want a native desktop experience for SoundCloud instead of the browser
  • you use media keyboard shortcuts and playlist management daily
  • you are on Mac, Windows, or Linux and want a lightweight install-free player

When to avoid

  • you need guaranteed playback - SoundCloud rate limits third-party apps to 15k daily streams and blocks all users when exceeded
  • you cannot obtain a SoundCloud client_id, since new app registrations are suspended
  • you need official support or a fully maintained codebase
