Press play.Feel the drop.

A festival light show that plays along with whatever your Mac is playing. Stage lights, lasers, LED walls and pyro lock to the beat, with 33 visualizers on top. Designed, built and released by me.

§01What it isOpen source

Your Mac, a festival.No setup.

RAVE LIVE listens to your Mac's system audio, finds the tempo and the beats, and drives a full stage: moving heads, lasers, LED walls, pyro and a crowd. Switch to Classic Visuals for 33 presets, or AURORA for a slower mood.

It is native Swift and Metal with no account and no tracking. Every push runs tests and a secret scan on CI, and a tagged release publishes a DMG you can download without a terminal. It is Mac only for now; a Linux and Windows version is planned.
