Macrowave
A few weeks ago, I wrote about an update to one of my favorite apps (at least design-wise), Poolside FM. In talking about it, I marvelled at the minor design details and reminded myself that I need to use more apps whose UI design delights me. Enter Macrowave, the new app from developer Lucas Fischer, who also made the image compression utility Kompressor. Like Kompressor, Macrowave does one particular thing well, surrounded by a fun, visually engaging UI.
The one-sentence pitch for Macrowave would probably be, “What if you could turn your Mac into a private radio station?” It does this by taking the audio from an app of your choosing on your Mac and broadcasting it to other Macrowave users who have your unique URL using peer-to-peer technology. There’s very minimal latency and even a microphone button that allows you to talk over whatever you’re broadcasting.
