Clementine is a music player written using the Qt4 libraries. It begun as a fork of the long-dead Amarok player. The last offered version on the website is from 2016. However, development continues on the Clementine github page with a 1.4 Release Candidate, updated to QT5. Packages are in the community repo for Arch and Manjaro.

The music player Strawberry is a fork of Clementine which is based on the more modern Qt5 libraries. It actively developed and maintained.
