Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free, open-source macOS radio player that keeps your stations, controls, and current song title in one menu-bar icon.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-12 issue.

Field notes

Custer places station selection, playback, volume, song-title copying, and reconnect controls behind a single macOS menu-bar icon. The page lists macOS 14.6 or later, keyboard shortcuts for stations, Control Center and lock-screen metadata, and recovery after sleep or interrupted Wi-Fi. It identifies the software as Swift-based and MIT-licensed, and states that it has no analytics, crash reporting, accounts, or background services.
