§ What it does
The official nugs app has slow search, a weak queue, and no keyboard shortcuts. This is the same idea as AppleNugs, built again as a native WinUI 3 app for Windows.
It signs in with your nugs.net email and password, doesn't store the password, and keeps its session token encrypted on disk. It talks to nugs directly and streams only what your subscription already allows.
§ Features
- A home screen that reads like a listening journal, with recent nights and top artists.
- A full A–Z artist index with letter jump and a live filter.
- Artist pages, albums grouped by set, and sectioned search.
- Gapless playback, preferring FLAC with ALAC, MQA and AAC fallbacks.
- An inspector with a mini player, signal-path details and the up-next queue.
- Remembers the queue and position, plus window, volume and mute.
- Media keys, the Windows media flyout, and shortcuts like Ctrl+F and Ctrl+Space.

- Do I need to install .NET?
- No. The installer is per-user, needs no admin rights, and includes everything it needs.
- Why does Windows warn about the installer?
