Client

Getting started

1. Download the .EXE
2. Run both Discord and Tidal on the same computer.
3. Play a song from Tidal
4. Profit?

Requires Windows 10 (version 2004 or later) or Windows 11, on an x64 PC. Works with the TIDAL desktop app, not browser, phone, or TIDAL Connect playback.

Double-click the tray icon to open Settings. You can change the appearance, choose what shows on Discord, and set the app to start with Windows. Closing Settings leaves it running in the tray.

Pause for five seconds and your Discord activity clears. Turn off Share on Discord whenever you want to stop sharing.

The app checks for updates on launch and daily. When prompted, open the download page, download the new EXE, exit TIDAL RPC, and replace your old copy. You can also choose Check for updates in Settings.

macOS

The macOS version is a small background app with no window. It uses the same metadata service, Discord app and settings as the Windows version. It reads TIDAL through macOS Now Playing, runs at background priority and uses almost no CPU while idle.

Works with the TIDAL desktop app on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

1. Build it on a Mac with the .NET 10 SDK: dotnet publish src/TidalRpc.Mac -c Release -o dist/macos
2. Move dist/macos/tidal-rpc somewhere permanent, such as ~/Applications.
3. Run ~/Applications/tidal-rpc install. It starts now and at every login.

Change settings from Terminal. The running app picks up changes within a few seconds.

tidal-rpc set status song       Status text: artist, song or app
tidal-rpc uninstall             Stop and remove from login

To see what it's doing, run tidal-rpc uninstall, then tidal-rpc run in Terminal.

Having trouble?

Make sure Discord's activity sharing is enabled. If something still isn't working, choose Report a problem in Settings or the tray menu. You can review the report before submitting it on GitHub.

Privacy

While sharing is on, the app sends the song title, artist, album, duration, and your selected country to our metadata service to find artwork and a song link. Lookups are cached temporarily; the host may keep connection logs.

Bug reports include basic app diagnostics. Your current song is optional, and reports are never sent automatically.
