I like a little bling with my music, and so I was thrilled to stumble across Cavasik.
It’s “an audio visualizer based on CAVA”, but that’s selling it more than a little bit short. Instead of living in the terminal, Cavasik is a desktop app that takes CAVA’s solid backbone and turns it up to 11.
It has your normal bars, but it also has circles, inverse modes, and cloned waveforms, so you can get some pretty fancy output like in the screenshots below (all images from Cavasik’s github repository)
Cavasik is available as a Flatpak, as a Snap, is in AUR, and of course, can be built from source.
