Why I built it

I love great sound.
The players, less so.

I've been into high-fidelity audio for a long time — but every music player on the Mac let me down. Some are Electron apps that feel like a website stuffed into a window. Others haven't touched their interface in fifteen years. The rest are expensive and buggy, crashing right when a track matters most.

Nothing felt native, fast, or worthy of the music I'd spent years collecting. So I wrote my own — the player I always wished existed.

— Serhii, maker of BitMuse
