Plugins
StableSmall extras, each in its own sandbox.
Plugins bring word-by-word lyrics, animated covers, looping videos and new views to the WaveFlow player. Each one is sealed off from your files, reaches only the addresses it lists, and tells you what it asks for before you install it.
In the WaveFlow player for Linux, macOS and Windows, on its Extensions page.

What it can do
In the WaveFlow player, the Extensions page lists the catalogue in your language, next to what you have installed.
Before you install, each plugin shows the addresses it can reach and whether it keeps anything on your computer.
WaveFlow downloads the version the registry pins, checks its fingerprint and only then turns it on.
Turn a plugin off, change its options or remove it at any time. Offline mode stops every plugin from reaching the network.
A plugin adds to WaveFlow without becoming part of it. It runs as a WebAssembly component in a sandbox WaveFlow controls, and it can only do what it declared.
Each plugin runs in its own WebAssembly sandbox, with a memory and time budget. It has no way into your files or the rest of your computer.
Every request goes through WaveFlow, which refuses any address the plugin did not declare, redirects included.
What a plugin can reach and keep is on its card in the store, before you install it.
The registry pins each version with a blake3 fingerprint. A download that does not match, or is not a real plugin, is refused.
Plugins join the catalogue through a reviewed pull request, and one commit takes a plugin out of the store for everyone.
A plugin that needs your artists gets their names and track counts only: no file paths, no listening history.
A plugin is one WebAssembly file that runs the same on Windows, macOS and Linux. The guide shows how to pick what it adds, build it with Rust and cargo component, declare its permissions and list it in the registry.
Every entry is reviewed before it reaches the store, and plugins from the community are labelled as such.
