Waltz | Desk Jukebox
A native macOS desk player that spins along with your music - eight models, your cover on the label.
Waltz is a native macOS desk player that sits on the desktop as one of eight models, from a turntable to a jukebox, and spins along with Music, Spotify, browser tabs or any app that plays sound, with the song's cover printed on the label.
A tiny jukebox for your desk.
Waltz puts a little player on your desktop and spins it whenever music plays. Pick a turntable, a cassette, a gramophone, a radio, a CD player, a boombox, a jukebox or a reel-to-reel, and drag it wherever it looks good. It follows Music and Spotify with the title, the cover and the controls, names the song in a YouTube Music, Spotify or SoundCloud tab, and turns for any other app that makes a sound. Your cover goes where it would on the real thing: the record label, the cassette sticker, the disc. Lift the tonearm to pause, set it down halfway and the song jumps halfway. With nothing playing, press play for Waltz's own wordless focus music: lofi, jazz, piano and more, from its own tracks when you are offline.

- Click to pause, double-click to skip, or use the parts themselves: the tonearm, the reels, the dial, the coin slot.
Buying and licensing
Yes. Download the app and it runs in full for 14 days - no key, no card, no email. Nothing is held back during the trial.
No. You pay once and the license is yours for good, on up to 3 Macs. There is no renewal and no in-app purchase. The studio also sells an optional subscription that includes this app, if you would rather have every app instead.
Buy from the store and the key arrives by email right after checkout. Paste it into the app once and it stays activated.
The app locks until you enter a key. Nothing is deleted - your data stays on your Mac and comes straight back the moment you activate.
Yes, and thank you. Every app page has a Buy me a coffee button - one-off, any amount. It is not a purchase: no license is issued and nothing is unlocked, so every app works exactly the same whether you tip or not.
