Elisa is a music player developed by the KDE community that strives to be simple and nice to use. We also recognize that we need a flexible product to account for the different workflows and use-cases of our users.

We focus on a very good integration with the Plasma desktop of the KDE community without compromising the support for other platforms (other Linux desktop environments, Windows and Android).

We are creating a reliable product that is a joy to use and respects our users privacy. As such, we will prefer to support online services where users are in control of their data.

We have released the version 0.1 alpha 2 last week.

Now is really a good time to join the Elisa team. Alexander did quite a lot of changes to lower the barrier to entry. He is actively maintaining the community Elisa wiki page. We have plenty of small tasks open in Elisa workboard.

We also welcome other kind of contributions like design, graphics, promo, etc.

The project is trying to stay agile and to give users an easy way to follow our work by supporting distributions channels like binary-factory or the flatpak build of KDE applications. There are also some distributions with ways to build latest code as a package (Arch AUR).

Elisa has moved to kdereview. The feedback from the different releases has motivated this move in order to be able to (if Elisa is accepted by the KDE community) make regular releases to allow user to give feedback.
