Kith is a modern desktop music player and metadata editor built for Windows using the WinUI 3 (Windows App SDK) framework. It features a simple, not overcrowded modern interface offering a fluid user experience for managing local music libraries and tags. It focuses on simplicity and functionality so the interface stays clean as well as quick and easy to navigate.
