## Project history and usage

qobine-tui is the terminal interface in Qobine, a Rust monorepo of third-party high-resolution audio players backed by Qobuz. It requires a paid Qobuz subscription and uses a text interface for browsing and playback.

### Project history

Qobine began as a fork of hifi.rs and later diverged into its own multi-application codebase. The official repository was created in January 2025, and its earliest currently listed release, v0.2, followed in February 2025.

### Adoption history

The upstream project offers release archives and Cargo installation from Git. Its TUI documentation also notes inclusion as qobuz-player in nixpkgs 25.11 and later, while this record tracks the separately packaged qobine-tui executable in Homebrew.

### How it is used

Users run qobine-tui in a terminal and press ? to discover keyboard shortcuts. A Nerd Font is recommended so explicit-content and high-resolution icons render correctly.

### Why package nerds care

qobine-tui is a compact example of a Rust media application shipped from a monorepo through release binaries, Cargo, Nix, and Homebrew packaging. It brings a commercial streaming service into a keyboard-driven Unix terminal workflow.

### Timeline
