Petrichor

Over a year ago I shared about Petrichor on HN[1] while it was still in alpha, it started out as a hobby for me and has now grown into a mature product while staying free and open source[2]. I've just released v1.7 that added a whole bunch of features that I originally envisioned for this app. It remains free and open source, doesn't do any usage tracking or analytics, and still strives to be one of the best music players available on the platform. Features: - Everything you'd expect from an offline music player! - Supports more than 40 audio file formats. - Map your music folders and browse your library in an organized view. - Stream Internet Radio and organize saved stations into collections. - Synced lyrics of a playing track when available, including ability to download missing lyrics. - Create, import or export playlists. - Smart pla

I spent the last year building Petrichor, an offline music player for macOS. This is an essay on how the journey has been so far. I also shared it on HN last year [1], and the project has come a long, long way since then.

Building offline music player for macOS for past one year https://github.com/kushalpandya/Petrichor Currently working towards a big release to go out by end of the month.

Been working on Petrichor - native macOS music player [1] This has been my side project for nearly a year, and I also shared it here in HN when it was in alpha [2] and received a ton of feedback (and stars on GitHub). The project has evolved quite a bit since then, like having additional file format support, lyrics, Last.fm scrobbling, and more!

There's also the Petrichor player, under development: https://github.com/kushalpandya/Petrichor

I started using https://github.com/kushalpandya/Petrichor a while ago. Though design is more akin to the default Apple Music app than WinAmp.

I have a large collection of music files gathered over the years, so I was sorely missing a decent offline music player that can serve as a frontend for the collection. I tried several Mac apps over the years, but since streaming music is mainstream now, there aren't good offline music players that meet my needs. So I spent the last 3 months building Petrichor! The idea is to solve my problem and learn Swift UI development along the way, while giving back to the community with this open-source project! Here's a list of features it has, with more getting added in future; - Everything you'd expect from an offline music player! - Map your music folders and browse your library in an organised view. - Create playlists and manage the play queue interactively. - Browse music using folder view when needed. - Pin anything (almost!) to the sidebar
