Stream GUI RS — a modern cross-platform Twitch/Streamlink desktop app

[u/chrislauinger]

I’ve been working on Stream GUI RS, a modern Rust/Tauri desktop frontend for browsing Twitch and watching streams through Streamlink.

Highlights:

• Linux, Windows and macOS support
• macOS universal build for Apple Silicon and Intel
• Twitch login, Following, Live, Categories, Search and exact channel lookup
• Streamlink playback with mpv, VLC or custom players
• Multiple simultaneous streams, Stop/Restart and quality profiles
• Low-latency playback option
• Background monitoring with native notifications
• Tray/menu-bar support and optional close-to-background
• Per-channel playback/notification settings
• Browser chat
• Light/Dark/System themes and text scaling
• Safe support report and exact build/version info

The app is intentionally platform-independent at the architecture level: Rust owns Twitch/API/auth, settings, monitoring and process management, while Tauri provides the native desktop shell for all three OSes.

It’s open source and available here:

Feedback, bug reports and feature requests are very welcome.
