Project overview
SoundCloud Desktop is an unofficial client for listening to the service on Windows, Linux, and macOS without using the browser. It adds desktop conveniences such as media-key control, background tray operation, system integration, Discord Rich Presence, and one-click updates, while presenting the catalog without ads or repeated CAPTCHA prompts. The project also states that it can connect directly where the SoundCloud website is blocked in Russia. It is not affiliated with SoundCloud, and its unsigned macOS build may require users to remove the quarantine flag before launch.
