Wishlist

Save searches that run automatically in the background and accumulate results over time, even when you’re not actively searching.

Open the Wishlist panel with ⌘2 or click Wishlists in the sidebar.

What the Wishlist Does

A wishlist item is a saved search query that SeeleSeek submits to the network on a repeating schedule — automatically, without any action from you. Results accumulate in the background. This is useful for rare releases or obscure tracks that are not always available: leave them on your wishlist and SeeleSeek will catch them when they appear.

How the Schedule Works

The Soulseek server provides a recommended search interval (typically 720 seconds — 12 minutes total). SeeleSeek divides that interval evenly among all enabled wishlist items, so each item gets searched once per full cycle.

For example, with 4 enabled items and a 720-second interval, each item is searched every 180 seconds.

The interval is set by the server and may vary. SeeleSeek updates the schedule automatically whenever the server sends a new interval.

Adding a Wishlist Item

1. Open the Wishlist panel

   Press ⌘2 or click Wishlists in the sidebar.

2. Enter a query

   Type the search term you want to monitor into the input field.

3. Add

   Press Return or click Add. SeeleSeek runs the search immediately for the first time, then adds the item to the rotation.

Duplicate queries (case-insensitive) are rejected so you won’t run the same search twice.

Managing Wishlist Items

Enable / Disable

Toggle the checkbox next to any item to include or exclude it from the automatic schedule. Disabled items keep their accumulated results but are not searched until re-enabled.

Remove

Click the delete button on an item to remove it permanently along with its accumulated results.

Enabling or disabling items restarts the scheduler so the interval is always divided correctly across active items.

Viewing Results

Click a wishlist item to expand it and see the results collected so far. Results accumulate across search cycles — each new run appends fresh findings rather than replacing previous ones.

An unread badge on the Wishlist panel icon shows how many new results have arrived since you last viewed them. The count resets when you open the panel.

Once you find what you were looking for in a wishlist result, you can download it directly from the result row, just like a regular search result.
