Wiremann

A fast, no-bullshit music player built in Rust. Just pure, native speed.

Most music players pick a side. They either look good and run like trash, or they’re fast and feel like they’re from 2005.

Wiremann doesn’t play that game.

Built from the ground up in Rust with a fully native, GPU-accelerated UI. No Electron, no webviews, no hidden garbage eating your RAM.

The goal is simple:

• instant response
• low resource usage
• clean UI
• no unnecessary layers

If it can be faster, it should be.

• Rust core – no compromises

• Fully native UI – built with GPUI

• GPU accelerated rendering – smooth 120 FPS

• Multithreaded – actually uses your CPU

• Low idle usage – ~1–2% CPU

• Memory efficient – <80MB with 500+ tracks

• Audio backend – rodio for now

  • planned: symphonia + cpal

• Metadata decoding – lofty

• Binary data storage – no SQL, no queries, just fast I/O
