Flacbox 7.6: a new pro audio engine with real-time effects, a 14-filter DSP chain, and EBU R128 leveling for your lossless library on Mac

Hey everyone! I'm the developer of Flacbox (hi-res / lossless music player for Mac, iPhone, and iPad: FLAC, DSD, ALAC, APE, and more). 7.6 just shipped and it is the biggest update I have done, built around a brand-new pro audio engine. Happy to answer technical questions in the comments.



Problem



If your lossless library lives in third-party cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud Drive, and about 30 others), on a network share (SMB, WebDAV, FTP, SFTP, NFS, DLNA), or on a media server (Plex, Jellyfin, Subsonic, Navidrome, Emby) instead of inside Apple Music, macOS gives you no good way to play it well. The stock Music app will not touch third-party cloud storage at all, and most cloud players cannot apply a real effects chain, a custom DSP chain, or tag-free loudness normalization to files that are streaming rather than sitting locally. Flacbox is built specifically for playing your own hi-res files from cloud, network, and local sources with proper playback quality.



Comparison



vs. VOX: VOX is a strong Hi-Res player, but to stream your own library it relies on VOX Cloud, which needs a VOX Premium subscription ($4.99/month or $49.99/year) and requires you to upload your music into VOX's own storage. Flacbox instead connects directly to the cloud accounts you already pay for (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and about 30 more), so there is no second storage subscription and nothing to re-upload. Flacbox also adds 11 real-time effects, a 14-filter DSP chain, and real-time EBU R128 loudness leveling on any stream, which VOX does not do without tags.



vs. Pine Player: Pine Player is a nice free local player with gapless and EQ, but it has no third-party cloud storage integration at all, so it can only play files already sitting on your Mac. Flacbox streams and downloads directly from cloud storage, network shares (SMB, WebDAV, FTP, SFTP, NFS, DLNA), and media servers, and adds a full effects rack and a build-your-own DSP chain that apply to cloud streams and internet radio, not just local files.



vs. Apple Music app: The stock Music app cannot play files from third-party cloud storage, network shares, or media servers at all, and offers no real-time effects chain or tag-free loudness normalization. Flacbox exists for exactly that use case.

What's new in 7.6



A new pro audio engine you can actually choose. Instead of forcing a rewrite on everyone, the new engine (built on the BASS audio library from un4seen) sits alongside the classic one as a selectable playback core. Switch to it when you want the full audiophile toolkit, keep the old one when you do not. Turning it on unlocks everything below, plus high-quality resampling and independent pitch and tempo control (shift the key up to +/- 60 semitones, or change speed 0.1x to 4x, without touching the other).



Tracker and MOD playback. The new engine plays classic module formats natively: MOD, XM, IT, S3M, MTM, UMX, MO3. This is the pattern-and-sample music from the chiptune and demoscene world that almost no desktop player opens.



Eleven real-time audio effects, each a native processing node with its own screen, presets, and an instant on/off toggle, so they apply to local files, cloud streams, and internet radio without re-encoding:



Reverb: Room to

Cathedral, with dry, wet, room size, damp, and width.



Delay and multi-tap echo: up to 5s, feedback, and stereo cross-feed.



Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, and Auto-Wah: the classic modulation set.



Distortion: subtle grit to full lo-fi.



Compressor: full dynamics control (threshold, ratio, attack, release, expansion, makeup gain), 10 presets.



Stereo rotation: rotary auto-panner.



Crossfeed: Bauer bs2b headphone crossfeed (incl. Chu Moy and Jan Meier presets). Great on hard-panned '60s to '70s stereo mixes.



A 14-filter DSP processor. Build your own reorderable real-time signal chain from: gain, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, notch, peaking, low-shelf, high-shelf, soft-clip saturation, bit crusher, tremolo, delay, ring modulator, and stereo width. Each has presets and an on/off toggle.



Automatic volume leveling. Uses EBU R128 (ITU-R BS.1770) loudness measurement in real time. Unlike ReplayGain it needs no tags and does not modify your files, so it works on cloud streams and radio too. Local files are pre-scanned so playback opens already leveled. Presets: Light -20, Standard -16, Strong -14, Night -23 LUFS.



Real-time music visualizer. Full-screen animated visuals that react live to the audio, with a large library of presets or an auto-cycle mode, plus a screen-sleep preventer so the show does not cut out. Looks great on a big display.



Refreshed design. The effects and EQ screens got modern glass-style sliders and a simplified presets mode, plus clearer separation of engines, effects, and DSP.



Under the hood: a more reliable streaming foundation, better file-type handling, and broader localization, alongside the existing support for FLAC, DSD, ALAC, APE, WAV, AIFF, MP3, AAC, and Opus.

If you try it, I would love feedback, especially on the effects and DSP chain with your own FLAC and DSD library, the crossfeed presets on headphones, and (for the curious) tracker and MOD playback. Bugs or requests, drop them here or email support@everappz.com. Thanks!

I think i need Folders in my Dock, like iOS. Can you point me to a good solution?

What it says. I did a search in macapps, a few things came up, yet none didn’t really convince me. i want no fancy stuff but simply organise apps a bit better. right now too crammed and rearranging by usage gets tedious.
you guys are using something like that? AND are happy with one?

Free,Open Source RSS, Reddit and YouTube reader with summaries, Q&A and content deep analises

I’ve been building RSSum, a native reader for iPhone and iPad. Posted it on r/iosapps and got a positive feedback so I ported it to a Mac Native version .
It began as a personal RSS reader, but it has gradually grown into one place for following articles, Reddit communities and YouTube channels.

The latest TestFlight adds experimental YouTube support. You can search for a public channel by name, subscribe to it, receive its latest videos in your feed and watch them inside the app. When captions are available, RSSum retrieves the actual transcript so summaries and Q&A are based on what was said in the video, not just its title or description.


Problem: RSS feeds, Reddit and you tube subscriptions are easy to follow but difficult to keep up with. Following too many articles, to many subreddits with large comment threads and on top of that Youtube, can quickly become a backlog. RSSum brings RSS, Reddit and YouTube into one unified reader, then lets you summarize content, ask follow-up questions, and listen instead of reading everything manually.

Comparison: NetNewsWire is excellent for traditional RSS, while Reeder offers a polished multi-source timeline. RSSum is better suited to people who want to understand their feeds, not just read them. It adds direct Reddit support, deep comment-thread analysis, article and feed summaries, Q&A, text-to-speech, and a choice of on-device or external providers for deep summarization and deep analyses.

Pricing: Free ($0) for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The source code is also available on GitHub.

Current features include:

RSS and Atom subscriptions
Reddit subscriptions, posts and comments. It is also possible to create new posts and reply, vote, etc so it serves as well as a quick Reddit client that uses the free Reddit API associated with every account.
YouTube channel search and subscriptions
An internal YouTube player with the standard YouTube controls
Transcript-grounded YouTube summaries and Q&A
Unified All, Unread, Favorites and Today views
Filters for articles, Reddit and YouTube
List, compact and magazine feed layouts
In-app article Reader mode and full webpage access
Individual article, post and comment summaries
Overall summaries covering multiple articles or Reddit posts
Follow-up Q&A grounded in articles, comments or video transcripts
Select text in a summary and ask the app about it
Reddit comment summaries and deeper analysis
Clickable source references inside overall summaries
whiteboards and infographics
Two-host podcasts generated from a saved batch of source material
Local and cloud text-to-speech, including on-device MLX speech
Multiple AI model options, including Apple local model, local LiteRT/MLX models, Gemini API ( BYOK), persistent ChatGPT/Gemini web sessions, Codex/Summarize (for those who are subscribers) and an optional Mac-based Apple PCC gateway - One note, Apple's Private cloud computer is enabled but it won't work because Apple is not accepting Tesflight that include IOS27 API just yet. It will work on IOS27. If you have a Mac running the latest beta it is possible to use that model through a gateway, which makes the Mac make the call through the PCC cli on the Mac.
OPML import and export
iCloud synchronization for subscriptions and reading state
Light, dark and system appearance
Cache, storage and downloaded-model management
Native layouts for iPhone, iPad and resizable Stage Manager windows

The YouTube integration uses public channel feeds, so it does not require access to your YouTube account. Transcript features depend on usable captions being available; the app reports when a video cannot currently be summarized instead of generating something from metadata.

This is still a beta, and I’d especially appreciate feedback about YouTube subscriptions, transcript reliability, playback,

summaries, Q&A and the interface on different devices.

A much earlier version of this app has been on the App Store but with much less, and basic features, basically can't even be considered the same app, it was just put on the store for those who could not compile from the GitHub at the time. The current version available on TestFlight is wait for Apple's approval..
