Native macOS appRadio Naoufal
A native macOS radio app with 35+ Dutch stations, live audio-reactive VU meters, AirPlay and a retro boombox interface.
01The problem
What needed solving.
Most radio apps are utilitarian: a list and a play button. None of them feel like the object they are supposed to replace.
02The approach
How I got there.
Design the app as the device. A retro boombox shell with real VU meters that move with the audio, tuned for the nostalgia of listening to a radio.
03The result
What it became.
A working native macOS app with live audio-reactive VU meters and a distinctive hardware-inspired interface.
