OpenDeezer is an open source reimplementation of Deezer. Sign in with one click, then browse search, charts, artists, Flow and podcasts, and stream in HiFi. The whole thing runs on your machine. It logs in, Blowfish-decrypts and decodes every track locally, and nothing leaves your computer except the requests to Deezer.
Runs in your terminal and as native macOS, GNOME, KDE, Windows, Android and iOS apps. Needs a Deezer Premium account.
Pick the desktop app or the terminal client. Your platform is selected automatically.
All builds (every OS & arch): github.com/Cycl0o0/OpenDeezer/releases
A single Go engine does the streaming; each front-end is native to its platform.
One Go engine, with a native front-end per platform. Each script builds the engine first.
Prerequisites (Go 1.24+, per-platform toolkits) are in the README.
The desktop apps log you in with one click (Log in with Deezer) and
capture your session automatically. This generator is the fallback for
the terminal client. Paste your Deezer ARL to build the
arl.txt OpenDeezer reads. It
all happens in your browser, and the token is never uploaded, not even
here. Then save it to
~/.config/opendeezer/arl.txt
(or run opendeezer -save-arl <arl>).
deezer.com and log in (Premium).deezer.com.arl (a long hex string).Treat the ARL like a password. It grants access to your account, and it only ever exists on your own machine. Delete the file when you're done.
No pairing and no separate sign-up.
Grab a release or build from source. Use make build for the terminal client, or build the native macOS / GNOME / KDE / Windows / Android / iOS app.
Generate arl.txt above and save it to ~/.config/opendeezer/, or run opendeezer -save-arl <arl>.
It logs in, fetches, Blowfish-decrypts and decodes each track locally. Liked songs, playlists, search and album art all stay on your machine.
A real Deezer client, and nothing leaves your machine.
The honest answers.
Your machine does the whole job. It handles login, decryption and decoding, and your Deezer token only ever exists on your own computer. It's open source under AGPL-3.0, so you can read the code or build it yourself.
