Radiccio: music player for local files, streaming services, media servers

Radiccio

Radiccio is an elegant native music player that brings together local files, streaming services, and media servers in a single interface—with a focus on mindful listening, privacy, and respect for your music collection.

Instead of switching between different apps, Radiccio lets you add multiple music sources and manage them from a single window—like a file manager, but for audio.

Key features:
Support for multiple sources:

  • Local files: Support for MP3, AAC, FLAC, Opus, AIFF, WAV, MP4 (including Spatial Audio) 
  • Apple Music: Catalog, personal library, radio (Apple subscription required) 
  • Media servers: Plex, Jellyfin, Navidrome, OpenSubsonic

Librarian (optional):

  • Scans your local collection and creates a database alongside your files
  • Browse by artists, albums, tracks, and playlists
  • “Overview” tab with recently added and played items — no algorithms, just sorting

Smart playlist management:

  • Pin your favorite albums/artists to the top of the list
  • Mark your favorite tracks and filter playback to include only those
  • Automatically skip tracks you don’t want to hear (unless you explicitly select them)

Journal — a diary of impressions:

  • Instead of stars: rate “how much you liked it” and “what emotions it evoked”
  • Ability to add notes and custom emojis
  • Your entry history is saved — see how your attitude toward music has changed over time

Additional features:

  • AirPlay: Stream to compatible devices, including support for Spatial Audio
  • Undoable Shuffle: Shuffle with the ability to undo
  • Save the queue as a playlist
  • Open files from Finder without first adding the source
  • Interface customization: move the control panel, dark theme, adaptation to the latest versions of macOS

Version 1.5.1:

Fixes

  • This update fixes some UI sluggishness that was inadvertently introduced several versions ago. Radiccio should now be snappier overall, with fewer incidents of the dreaded beachball cursor.
  • In order to fix this, we needed to do a one-time UI reset. App Settings and Source Settings have not been affected by this. But for example, your sorting options have been reset to defaults, and you will be asked to select a source the first time you launch Radiccio after this update. I apologize for the inconvenience, and this should hopefully not happen again.
  • As a result, I hope you find Radiccio faster and nicer to use, and I will keep looking for ways to improve it further. You can never have enough snappy!
  • Fixed an issue where customizing the toolbar was unavailable when the sidebar was set to “Sources List” in Settings > Navigation. It should be available regardless of the state of that setting.

Improvements

  • From the Dock menu (control-click or right-click on Radiccio’s app icon in the Dock), you can now toggle favorite and auto-skip status, and set a star rating, for the currently playing song, if these features are supported by your current source.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the app?

Mount the image, drag the app into the "Applications" folder and launch it. If the system blocks the launch, allow it in "System Settings → Privacy & Security".

The app is damaged or won't launch

Reinstalling from a fresh image usually helps. Make sure your macOS version matches the one listed in the compatibility specs.

How do I update?

Download the new version from the site and install it over the current one — your settings will be preserved.

The download link doesn't work

Try a mirror or a download manager. For large files the browser often drops the connection.

How do I completely remove the app?

Use an uninstaller utility — it cleans up the service files that remain after moving the app to the trash.
