FAQ

Do I need a Tidal or Qobuz account? No. FLACidal handles authentication internally. Just paste a URL and download.

What audio quality is available? From Tidal: HI_RES (24-bit / up to 192 kHz) and LOSSLESS (16-bit / 44.1 kHz). From Qobuz: up to 24-bit depending on availability.

Why does my antivirus flag the file? False positive. Go-compiled binaries are sometimes flagged heuristically. Build from source if you have concerns.

Can I use a proxy? Yes. HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies are configurable in Settings.
