The Sayonara player has a graphical user interface. A dark mode is included in the skin. The window is divided into the player itself, where controls, track data and the cover can be seen, the playlist, and the music library. The library is structured as follows: Either a tabular listing of artists and albums or a cover view. Sayonara can manage several playlists.[6]
