New Release of TerminalDrome on Github

Sat, 11 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Since I recently discovered how relaxing programming can be, I’ve been tinkering with my Navidrome-compatible terminal client called TerminalDrome almost every day.

I’ve now integrated a new feature, which I’ve moved to Main:

A simple search function:

Press slash / and the search will open.
Enter the search term, press Enter, and you’ll see the search results in the right panel.
It’s neither alphabetically sorted nor otherwise organized.
Additionally, there’s a feature in the leftmost panel where you can jump directly to the beginning of the respective artist by pressing a letter of your choice. So if I press D, I’ll land on D.A.F., or Q on Queens Of The Stone Age—you get it?

I am proud to announce the release of TerminalDrome 0.2.0 as a feature-rich stable version to the public. It is still alpha but it works on a daily basis here on my Powermac G5 or the Mac Mini M4.

TerminalDrome is evolving

Sat, 11 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

My little Terminal Navidrome Project TerminalDrome is evolving and works a little bit better from day to day. So, what is working?

safes the state of the panes to come back later
in pane 4 it shows the elapsed time and a small bar is going to 100%
it plays the songs of an album from 1 to last

What does not work:

it won’t changes the now playing bar when a new song is playing

This is a screenshot of my real Powermac G5 running TerminalDrome in the wild.

TermNavi is renamed in TerminalDrome

Sat, 11 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Because there’s already a Terminal Navidrome client called NaviTerm, and I don’t really like my name TermNavi, I decided to rename my software TerminalDrome. Of course, that sounds completely stupid, but at least it’s better than a copy.

I think my software will soon become famous.

Oh, and it doesn’t even work properly yet. :-)

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

I just finished the work on TerminalDrome 0.2.2 and I am really proud of it, because I don’t know nothing about Rust programming language but the Terminal NaviDrome Client is running very well :-)

Album Scrolling: while in album pane, there were no scrolling implemented and when there were more than 5 albums, you would not see them.
