This Week's Finds
Aug 31 – Sep 6, 2026

The 26-year-old audio editor, now copyright Muse Group and contributors, lands its biggest rewrite in years. The interface is rebuilt on Qt, which brings native high-DPI rendering and toolbars and panels you can move, dock, float or hide and then save as named workspace layouts. The editing model changes underneath that - clips are selected directly and several can be edited together, grouped, and moved between tracks. Recording can now start anywhere on the timeline rather than only at the cursor, the playhead stays visible while you navigate, and there is per-track input monitoring and improved latency compensation. Track headers carry live meters, spectrogram rendering is faster, and projects save to a new .aup4 format that stores preview thumbnails alongside the clip and appearance data. Windows, macOS and Linux. GPL-3.0, free, distributed through MuseHub with a download-without-MuseHub option on the site. 18.3k stars as of 7 September 2026
-
A native Spotify client from Carmine Paolino, written in Rust on top of librespot, for Linux, macOS and Windows. It starts in well under a second and covers your whole library, local playback and Spotify Connect, and it will find librespot, spotifyd and other Connect speakers already on your network. On Linux it registers over MPRIS, so media keys, the desktop shell and playerctl treat it like any other player. Playback needs Spotify Premium - free accounts can browse and search but not play. Install from the AUR, a Homebrew cask, or cargo. MIT, funded through GitHub Sponsors. v0.7.0 released 6 September 2026, 3.4k stars as of 7 September 2026
-
A personal-cloud platform from Imbue, written up by Zack Polizzi, that aims to make self-hosting feel like a smartphone that serves web apps rather than a sysadmin side job. It runs on an Ubuntu machine you control - bare metal, a VM or a VPS - and the pitch is the integration layer rather than the containers themselves, with unified authentication across every app and permission-based data sharing between them. The app catalog is curated and the project describes it as small for now, expanding weekly. AGPL-3.0 and developed in the open. Imbue also sells a managed version, which is the revenue model; new accounts there start with 10 US dollars of credit. 701 stars as of 7 September 2026

The long-running open-source video editor adds two whole views in this release. Color View brings colour correction and grading with wheels, curves, LUTs and live video scopes, and Recording View captures microphone, screen, webcam and system audio straight into the project. Ten new effects arrive alongside them, including audio visualisation, beat sync, film grain and object masking, plus local AI masks that isolate a subject using models you download rather than a hosted service. The timeline is now fully native Qt, Qt 6 support is expanded with groundwork for Android, and the blur effect is 61.8 per cent faster. Linux, macOS and Windows. GPL-3.0, and the project states plainly that it is funded by users and not licences - donations start at 5 US dollars, monthly or one-time, with donors credited on the site and in the app. 6.5k stars as of 7 September 2026
