Clementine is a free and open-source audio player. It is a port of Amarok 1.4 to the Qt 4 framework and the GStreamer multimedia framework. It is available for Unix-like, Windows, and macOS operating systems.[6] Clementine is released under the terms of the GPL-3.0-or-later.[7]

Clementine was created due to the transition from version 1.4 to version 2 of Amarok, and the shift of focus connected with it, which was criticized by many users. The first version of Clementine was released in February 2010.[2]

The last stable release of Clementine was in 2016, but development has since resumed on GitHub, with a number of release candidate versions published. On 15 October 2024, the first non-RC release since 2016 was published.[8]

In 2018, a fork of Clementine named Strawberry Music Player was released.[9]
