A fast, native music player with the features you would expect from a modern app, combining the best of offline and streaming players in one place.
Point Petrichor at your music folders and it builds a library you can browse by Artists, Albums, Genres, and Years, with search that stays fast across thousands of tracks. It borrows the best parts of streaming apps too: from any track, use the go-to menu to jump to its artist, album, or year. And it never modifies your files on disk, so your collection stays exactly as you have it.
MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, Ogg Vorbis, Opus, DSD, APE, WavPack, and plenty more, all handled efficiently. Petrichor reads the finer details of every track too, so you can see what's lossless along with its bit depth, sample rate, and codec.
Dial in your sound with a multi-band equalizer, a handful of ready-made presets, stereo widening, and a preamp for fine-tuning levels. Playback stays gapless, with spatial audio on supported earphones. It's all powered by CrescendoKit, an in-house audio engine currently in beta, with much more on the way.
