Get Niguna $9.99
Classic VU needles, LED meters, spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope — one click apart. Gapless playback, BPM detection, bitrate at a glance.
Full 10-band EQ with savable presets. A compressor with four characters. Loudness compensation that keeps music full at low volume. Silence trimming that skips dead air automatically.
Multiple playlists in tabs — save, load, rename, drag & drop. Auto-stop after a track. A built-in MP3 tag editor, so fixing a title never means another app.
Built for the Mac from the ground up — opens instantly, sips resources. Collapse to a compact deck. Full keyboard control, menu bar integration, custom fades.
Loudness normalization keeps levels consistent across your whole library. The compressor has four distinct characters — gentle, warm, radio, punch. Tone compensation keeps the low end from disappearing at quiet volumes.
Highly recommended for audiophiles and pros alike
Niguna nails the thing every other Mac player gets wrong: it just sounds right. Clean, honest output with none of the digital harshness I kept running into elsewhere. The EQ and processing are genuinely useful, not decoration — you can hear each move. It's fast, it stays out of the way, and it treats my files like they matter. This is the player I'd been waiting for on the Mac.
Finally, a Mac player that sounds right
I'm demanding and stubbornly critical about anything to do with music. I've been on the Mac for nine years and love the machine — but macOS never had a decent music player. I tried VLC and the built-in options; everything was either clunky or sounded flat. Niguna fixes that. It sounds noticeably warmer and more natural than anything I'd used before, handles MP3, M4A and FLAC without a hitch, and the equalizer is gentle and precise while barely touching the CPU. A pleasant, old-school interface — and no ads. Nothing but upsides. I recommend it to every Mac user.

That's a standard prompt for apps sold outside the App Store. Right-click (or Control-click) Niguna and choose Open — macOS asks you to confirm once, and from then on it opens normally with a double-click. You only ever do this once.
