Iris Loop

A music player for the Mac, for the songs you collect, the ones you make, and your podcasts. Each collection keeps its own cover and mood.

The app

Your songs. Your little world.

Most music players are built around a catalogue. Iris Loop is built around yours: loose files, demos and songs made with AI tools like Suno. No account, and the library stays on the Mac.

Same song. A different somewhere.

Three ways to watch what you hear.

01

A record that turns.

In Vinyl the record spins at 33⅓ rpm, up to speed in under a second and coasting to rest when you pause.

02

Colour that moves with the music.

Seven visualisers, drawn on the Mac’s graphics chip from the song itself: the bass, the middle and the high end each move it their own way.

03

The memories that make it yours.

In Daydream, photos and videos from your own library drift past with a soft faded-film finish while the album plays. They never leave the Mac.

All those songs. Finally together.

Since October, loose files, folders and songs exported from Suno become collections, each with a cover, a name and its own atmosphere.

Your records: a collection called Songs from our summer, six songs in a list with favourites, and a Listen button

Create a collection: six songs from a folder, a name, and the cover, atmosphere and source to choose before it is saved

Now Playing: the cover, After the rain, the transport controls, and the next five songs in the collection

Now Playing with its Lyrics tab: the current line, The city softens, lit among the others

Good music. Good company.

Since October, podcasts have a space of their own: search for a show or bring its RSS feed, queue episodes, and download them for the trip.
