  • Waveform view

    Vibe draws every track as a full waveform across the window. Click anywhere on it to seek.

  • Fast

    Vibe is built to be small and fast. Tags, artwork, and waveforms are read in the background and cached for faster repeat opens.

  • Vibe’s own audio engine

    MP3, AAC, MP4/M4A, MP2, AIFF, WAV, and FLAC, played through Vibe’s own CoreAudio engine, with high-quality sample-rate conversion and bit-perfect output.

  • No library to import

    Drop a file or a folder from your disk, iCloud Drive, or Dropbox and it plays. No database to rebuild, no library to manage.

  • Built with DJs in mind

    Vibe includes turntable-style pitch control, BPM and key analysis, bar-accurate skips, and performance FX.

  • Speaks 30 languages

    Fully localized, from Bulgarian to Vietnamese.

Available via Homebrew
