POGO(1)

📦 version 1.0.1, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 POGO 💖

okay bestie, let me put you onto something. this is pogo, a manual page from the General Commands Manual section 1, and honestly? it's giving "tiny app, enormous slay". sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

pogo — a simple audio player. that's it. that's the whole vibe. simple. audio. player. iconic behavior honestly 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pogo [OPTIONS] [FILES] [COMMAND]

like, you give it some options, maybe some files, maybe a command, and it just works. the way that it does exactly what you'd expect? obsessed 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Pogo is probably the simplest and fastest audio player for Linux. no cap. it's literally built different from the big heavy players — its elementary-inspired design uses the screen-space very efficiently, so nothing is wasted, nothing is cluttered, everything is cute and functional ✨

Pogo is especially well-suited for people who organize their music by albums on the harddrive. if that's you (and if you have a folder structure that's immaculate), this is your moment 👑

The main interface components are:

  • a directory tree 🌳
  • a playlist that groups albums in an innovative way 🎀

that's the whole UI. two things. and yet. it ate. 💀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — show the help message and then exit. the classic. the beloved. when in doubt, -h it out 💖
  • --multiple-instances — start a brand new instance of Pogo even if one is already running. yes bestie, you CAN have more than one. main character energy, multiplied 🌈

🎀 COMMANDS 🎀

  • play — start playing the current track. go go go 🔥
  • pause — pause or continue playing the current track. it toggles! one command, two jobs, multitasking queen 👑
  • stop — stop playback. full stop. no notes.
  • next — jump to the next track. skip skip skip ⭐
  • prev — jump to the previous track. rewind, rewind, rewind 🦋
