Sangeet v3.4.0 - The Offline-First Audiophile Player

July 5, 2026 · View on GitHub

"Your music. Your device."

Project Walkthrough

Sangeet is a premium, native macOS music player built for audiophiles who demand bit-perfect audio quality without compromising on aesthetics. Powered by the industry-standard BASS Audio Engine and wrapped in a stunning Glassmorphic SwiftUI interface, Sangeet bridges the gap between professional audio tools and modern design.

Sangeet is offline-first: playback, your library, listening history, and taste profile all live on your Mac and work without internet. The only network feature is optional lyrics fetching — and once fetched, lyrics are cached locally for offline use.

✨ Key Features

🎧 Audiophile-Grade Audio Engine

  • Bit-Perfect Output: Bypasses the macOS system mixer to deliver unaltered audio directly to your DAC.
  • Exclusive Access (Hog Mode): Takes complete control of your audio device to prevent interference from other apps.
  • Native Sample Rate Switching: Automatically adjusts your DAC's sample rate to match the source file (up to 192kHz/32-bit).
  • True Gapless Playback: Zero-latency transitions between tracks using advanced preloading.
  • Smart Crossfade: "Kill Switch" technology ensures smooth transitions without overlapping clashes, even during rapid skipping.
  • Volume Normalization: Integrated ReplayGain support for consistent volume levels across your library.

🎨 Stunning Visuals

  • Glassmorphism UI: Beautiful, translucent interface elements that blend with your desktop.
  • Floating Dock: A compact, interactive mini-player that floats above your windows.
  • Visual Equalizer: 8-band parametric EQ with a glowing, interactive curve and preset management.
  • Squiggly Progress Bar: Unique, animated playback progress inspired by Android 13.
  • Radial Settings Menu: A futuristic, gesture-driven settings interface.

📂 Powerful Library Management

  • Folder-Based Library: Drag and drop your music folders directly—no "importing" or duplicating files.
  • Instant Search: Global Cmd+K search to find any track, album, or artist instantly.
  • Local Metadata: Reads tags and artwork straight from your files (with folder-art fallback).
  • Infinite Queue & Radio: Never stops playing - similar tracks from your own library are queued automatically, ranked by a local taste profile.
  • Stats & History: Track your listening habits with detailed statistics.

🎤 Immersive Karaoke

  • Word-by-Word Sync: Fetches word-synced lyrics online (LyricsPlus, with LRCLib line-sync fallback) for a true karaoke experience.
  • Offline-First Lyrics: Local .lrc sidecar files (including enhanced word timing), .txt files, and lyrics embedded in your audio tags always take priority — and every fetched lyric is cached on disk for offline replay.
  • Immersive UI: Beautiful, full-screen overlay mode that blends lyrics with the album art background.
  • Persistent State: Lyrics visibility preference is remembered across sessions.

🔒 Offline-First & Private

  • Playback never needs internet: Your music plays entirely from local files; lyrics fetching is the app's only network feature.
  • Local Smart Queue: The "Radio" and Infinite Queue features are powered entirely by your own library and a local, on-device taste profile.
  • Your data stays yours: Play counts, favorites, and listening history live in a local SQLite database. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking.
