## What it is
An Electron-based desktop application that runs the TIDAL web player with Hi-Fi (High & Max) audio quality enabled via Widevine DRM. It adds desktop features like theming, hotkeys, notifications, a local API, and integrations with Discord RPC, MPRIS, and ListenBrainz.

## Use cases
- listen to TIDAL in max quality on Linux
- desktop TIDAL client with HiFi playback
- show TIDAL now playing in Discord
- scrobble TIDAL plays to ListenBrainz
- customize TIDAL app theme and hotkeys
- control TIDAL playback via MPRIS on Linux
- get a local API for TIDAL playback status

## When to choose
- you want TIDAL HiFi/Max quality on Linux where the official app is limited
- you want desktop integrations like Discord RPC, MPRIS, or scrobbling
- you want a customizable TIDAL client with theming, hotkeys, and ad blocking

## When to avoid
- you need an official supported client with vendor support
- you only use mobile or web playback
- you cannot run Electron apps or Widevine DRM on your system
