Auralis v1.0.0 macos

Auralis for macOS-Beta

Auralis is now available for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 14 Sonoma or later.

This build bundles Java, VLC and a browser fallback for sign-in, so no separate runtime installations are required.

Recommended installation: Homebrew

brew install --cask sharthak-sev/auralis/auralis

We recommend Homebrew even though you can install the DMG manually. It verifies the download’s checksum, installs Auralis into Applications, and applies an app-specific quarantine workaround for this unnotarized beta, reducing first-launch friction. Future published versions can be installed with:

brew update
brew upgrade --cask sharthak-sev/auralis/auralis

This beta is ad-hoc signed, rather than Apple-notarized. The Homebrew workaround does not provide Apple notarization.

Manual installation

1. Download the DMG attached to this release.
2. Open it and drag Auralis.app into Applications.
3. Try opening Auralis.

Because this beta isn’t notarized, macOS may block the first launch. If it does, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, find the message about Auralis, and select Open Anyway, then confirm. See [Apple’s first-launch instructions](https://support.apple.com/en-nz/102445).

If that option isn’t available, you can apply the app-specific quarantine workaround yourself in Terminal, provided you trust this download:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Auralis.app

Then open Auralis again. This removes quarantine from Auralis only; it does not disable Gatekeeper system-wide.

Feedback

This is a beta release. Please report playback, sign-in or interface issues on [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/Shreyanshh071/Auralis/issues), including your macOS version, Mac model and steps to reproduce the problem.

Auralis v1.1.3.3

Device sync moves off Firebase, and your library now restores even on busy days.

New

• Device sync on a faster connection — handing playback between your phone and PC now runs over its own live connection instead of Firebase. Turn it on from the device picker whenever you want it.
• Expanded mini player — a new mini player design.
• Show all for an artist's albums.

Improved

• Smoother song changes — the player background, colours and seek bar take far less work per frame, so skipping songs no longer stutters on high-refresh phones.
• Songs start at once, missing covers are filled in from playback, and the next song is preloaded so crossfade and AutoMix run reliably.
• Lyrics wait briefly for Spicy Lyrics before falling back to another source.
• Artist photos, search and the playlist picker were refreshed.

Fixed

• Playlists missing after signing in — when the cloud was busy, a new phone could come up with no playlists. Your library now restores regardless.
• Seeking jumped too far after changing songs.
• Queue order is kept when you jump to a later song.
• The app no longer closes when Discord sign-in finishes.
• Page headers no longer slide under the status bar.

Auralis v1.1.3.2

A small fix for the Immersive player.

Fixed

• Wrong song in Immersive — tapping the menu on the playing song could open a different song from the queue, so downloads, the cover shown and other actions went to the wrong song. Taps in Immersive now reach what you see.

Download Auralis-v1.1.3.2-universal.apk below. Requires Android 7.0 or newer.

Auralis v1.1.3.1

A follow-up to 1.1.3 with a much stronger download system, Stats for nerds, a changelog and better update alerts.

Added

• Stats for nerds — open the playing song's menu for a live readout of its real bitrate, codec, source, buffer and output device.
• Changelog — see what changed in every version under Updates.
• Update popup — from the next version on, opening Auralis tells you when an update is ready. Choose Update or Later.
• Individual Songs folder — songs you download one at a time now also save to Downloads/Auralis/Individual Songs.

Changed

• JioSaavn 320kbps is now part of High Quality. There's no separate switch any more. High Quality tries JioSaavn's copy of the same recording first and uses YouTube Music if there isn't one.
• New songs in a downloaded playlist now download on their own when you open Downloaded.
• Update checks now run every hour, with one notification per version.
• Notification permission — Auralis asks once, so update alerts can reach you when the app is closed.

Fixed

Downloads

• Songs YouTube refused with a "confirm you're not a bot" message now download through a new route.
• Signed-in downloads — your YouTube account is now tried as a last step for any song that's refused, not only age-restricted ones.
• More songs match — album names written differently, like "D.R.A.M." and "DRAM", and stray "Version" labels on the same album no longer block a match.
• Clear reasons — songs that aren't on YouTube now say so instead of showing as failed, and they stop retrying.
• Download folders stay in a fixed order instead of jumping around.

Storage

• Deleting a downloaded playlist now removes its files from Downloads/Auralis.
• Clear all downloads now removes those files too.
• Extra copies left behind in download folders, and folders from removed downloads, are cleaned up automatically.

Library

• No more duplicate imports — importing a playlist you already have, with the same name, song count and songs, now updates that playlist instead of adding a copy.

Look and feel

• Going back from a downloaded playlist now animates in the right direction.
• Every settings page now slides in the same way.

Auralis v1.1.3

A reliability update for downloads, playlist imports, account sync and search, plus optional 320kbps audio.

Added

• JioSaavn 320kbps audio — an optional higher-quality source, off by default. Turn it on in settings. It's only used when it finds the exact same recording, and anything else plays from YouTube as usual.
• Spotify playlist picker — choose which playlists to import. Importing again adds only what's new.
• YouTube Music search suggestions — suggestions and suggested songs now come from YouTube Music as you type, with Google as the fallback.
• Spelling tolerance in search — a small typo still finds the song you meant.
• Diagnostic report in About.

Fixed

Downloads

• Downloads that failed until you retried — a refused stream now moves on to the next source.
• Single songs get the same retries as playlists.
• Songs with a featured artist — Spotify tracks marked "(feat. X)" are matched to the right album version instead of failing with "No match found".
• Wrong recordings — a failed download no longer switches a song to a different recording.
• Download order and speed.

Playlist imports

• One unreadable entry no longer fails the whole list. It's skipped, and the rest imports.
• YouTube playlists fall back to regular YouTube when YouTube Music can't read them.
• Clear errors — the reason shows on screen when an import fails.
• "Already imported" is marked in both the YouTube and Spotify pickers.

Accounts and sync

• The same library on every device — all devices on one Auralis account now have the same playlists, and phones also share pins and the rest of the library. Devices merge changes, so one can't erase what another added.
• Removed playlists stay removed across devices.
• Songs added on another device now reach linked playlists.
• Two-way sync on another YouTube account links only a playlist with the same name and the same songs. Otherwise you get a clear message.
• Sync status no longer gets stuck on checking for changes.
• YouTube sign-in page now displays correctly.

Search

• The song you meant comes first — tiny uploads, small singles and same-named artists no longer beat a hit just because their spelling matches exactly.
• Titles typed without small words — "less i know better" finds The Less I Know The Better.

Look and feel

• Liquid Glass shows the real artwork behind it on album, playlist and artist pages.
• Smoother transitions going back from folders and switching between compact and expanded views.
• Liquid Glass toggle no longer glitches when flipped quickly.
• Home menu opens above the notification pill.
• Playlist options — pin and sync now sit together in one rounded group.
• Spotify and YouTube import cards now match.
• Dynamic theme no longer clashes on phones whose wallpaper styles shift the accent colour.

Stability

• Crashes from the WebView renderer — playback now recovers when it dies.
• Crashes on Android versions below 13 caused by missing Java APIs.
• Firebase startup issues.

Removed

• Video sections on artist pages.

Thanks

Thanks to Vivi Music for the approach behind JioSaavn audio.

Auralis v1.1.2

The biggest Android update since 1.1.0: a new look across the app, three player designs, Auralis Connect, a guided first launch, and a long list of fixes.

Added

Liquid Glass

• New in 1.1.2: Liquid Glass — a see-through glass look for the dock, mini player, page buttons, sheets and menus. It works on dark themes only, so the toggle is greyed out in light mode. Turn it on in the tour or in Appearance.

Player

• Three player designs — choose between New, Old and Immersive. Immersive has full-bleed artwork, auto-hiding controls and its own lyric fillers.
• Animated covers with several sources. They start once a song has been playing for two seconds, so swiping stays smooth.
• Folia player backgrounds — five new styles: Latent, Monet, Paper texture, Lens distortion and Sora.
• Frosted mini player — a new frosted blur background for the mini player.
• Ambient player mode.
• Mini player design picker and a Liquid Glass dock that minimises as you scroll.

Lyrics

• Spicy Lyrics provider with its own native lyric style.
• Lyrics source picker — see where lyrics came from and choose another source. Providers with word-by-word timing are tried first.
• Lyric preview in every player design, with a lyric line in Immersive.

Listening across devices

• Auralis Connect — one listening session across your devices. Hand playback between your phone and desktop. The PC app is coming soon.
• Listening from your other devices appears live in your stats, instead of waiting for the next sync.

Listen Together

• Guests can edit the queue, with room activity showing who did what.
• Listen Together popup available from song menus.

Getting started

• Eight-page interactive app tour with live previews of the real player, lyric styles and Home layout, plus audio quality, permissions and region and language choices.
• Artist picker on first launch, which builds a starter Home from the artists you choose.
• Liquid Glass comparison in the tour. Your choice is saved.
• Animated logo intro and a theme-aware launch screen that hands off to Home without a jump.

Library and search

• Artists section in Library.
• Save albums to your library from the + buttons.
• Optional Spotify catalog with YouTube as a fallback.
• Release cards in search, with album and Single cards shown alongside the first results.

Other

• Resumable in-app updates with their own screen.
• Content settings and app translations for Hindi, Bengali and Punjabi.
• Disconnect confirmation so an accidental tap doesn't sign you out.

Redesigned

• Settings — every settings page has a new layout, for both Liquid Glass and normal mode.
• Profile, Account, Discord, YouTube and Import pages.
• Artist, album and playlist pages, Library, History and Stats.
• Option sheets, dialogs and the sort menu, in both Liquid Glass and normal mode.
• Pull to refresh — a floating button that fills as you pull, used across the whole app. The page no longer moves.
• Page headers — back buttons and titles line up the same way everywhere.
• Library animations — the search bar opens from its icon, and switching between grid and list is animated.
• Status bar glow on Home, Search and Library in Liquid Glass.

Fixed

Player and playback

• Fast swiping no longer leaves the cover, the background and the playing song out of step. Swiping past several songs used to reorder the queue.
• One change per swipe stop — swipe as much as you like. The song, colours and background change once, when you stop.
• Laggy swiping caused by animated covers.
• Players fit every screen without shrinking the cover.
• Best free YouTube audio is always picked, and dubbed tracks are skipped.
• Featured and single versions of a song stay distinct when they have the same length.
• Offline mode now really works, and pages reload by themselves when the network returns.
• Mini player honours your chosen background with Liquid Glass on, tucks smoothly into the dock and stays readable on light glass.

Lyrics

• Smooth lyric scrolling is back after it stopped gliding between lines.
• Lyrics load faster, without waiting on slow providers.
• Centring and scrolling during playback no longer jump past sung lines.
• Glow artifacts on neighbouring words in Fluid and MetroLyrics.
• Lyrics after seeking re-sync to the right position.
• Transliteration no longer forced — lyrics show in their source script.

Search

• Partial titles — the song you're typing now appears as you type, instead of only unrelated songs with one matching word.
• Accurate ranking, real album labels and official artists, with faster results.
• A compilation is no longer treated as a song's home album.
• "Also matching" only shows meaningful results, with no repeats below it.

Library and playlists

• + buttons on album and playlist pages now work.
• Albums and artists open much faster, using a cache that survives restarts.
• Pinned section shows only what you pinned. Liked Songs is no longer pinned by default.
• Playlists are back in Speed Dial, where songs were pushing them out.
• Complete YouTube and Spotify playlist imports.
• One notification per playlist action, instead of a pill and a toast.

Accounts and sync

• Your library and stats restore in one pass on sign-in.
• Listens synced while playing grow to their full time.
• Sign-out clears local account state straight away instead of waiting on a cloud upload.
• New sign-ins enter the tour after authentication, and returning listeners skip it.
• Screens no longer show through account pages.

Other

• Discord status now shows the song name on phones, as it does on PC.
• Dim text in Liquid Glass.
• Lines on cards in Settings and Profile.
• Dimmed Home screen in Liquid Glass.
• Curly quotes in Listen Together activity.
• Theme & Colors margins and cut-off text.

Improved

• Theme changes crossfade smoothly.
• Seeking across connected devices — the latest position wins during repeated scrubbing.
• Startup — the logo stays until the first frame is ready.

Defaults for new installs

• Liquid Glass is off and can be turned on in the tour or Appearance.
• Old player, New mini player and a Live Mesh mini player background.
• Swipe to remove a song from a playlist is off.
• Top, weekly-most-played and monthly-most-played automatic playlists start hidden.

These only apply when a preference hasn't been saved. Your existing choices aren't changed.

Auralis v1.0.0 preview macos

Auralis for macOS (Initial Preview)

This preview release brings native macOS support (Apple Silicon arm64 and Intel x86_64) to Auralis with cross-platform feature parity with the desktop player.

---

Features & Highlights

• Native macOS Chrome & Traffic Lights: Full-window content styling with native floating Close, Minimise, and Zoom/Fullscreen traffic lights in the top-left corner. Windows-style caption buttons are completely omitted.
• Hardware-Accelerated Metal Engine: Powered by Google Skia via Skiko running directly on Apple Metal (-Dskiko.renderApi=METAL) for high-refresh 60/120Hz scrolling and fluid UI transitions.
• High-Fidelity Audio Playback: Native libVLC integration with automated discovery from /Applications/VLC.app.
• Synchronized & Spicy Lyrics: Word-by-word and line-by-line karaoke lyrics with smooth time synchronization (Musixmatch, LRCLIB, KuGou, AMLL, and Spicy Lyrics).
• Google Account & Sync: Restores your Google account session, liked songs, personal listening stats, and queue history across devices.
• Auralis Connect: Cast and control playback across your phone and desktop in real-time.
• Native File Pickers: Integrated with native macOS file dialogs for custom playlist artwork.

---

Known Issues & In-Progress Optimizations

• Discord Rich Presence (macOS): Discord IPC currently uses Windows named pipes (\.\pipe\discord-ipc-*). macOS Unix domain socket support is in progress; Discord status is temporarily inactive on Mac.
• Profile thumbnail not showing: Noticed on macos, the profile thumbnail/avatar doesnt show up after logging in on the macos version. Will be fixed in a future update.
• App crashing when switching to youtube music tab in accounts section: When clicking on the youtube music tab in the accounts section or clicking on connect youtube music the app crashes everytime. WIll be fixed in a future update.
• System Media Keys: Global hotkeys using Win32 low-level hooks are disabled on macOS; playback is controlled directly via the in-app player and mini-player. Native macOS Now Playing integration will be added in a future update.
• Cold-Start Optimization: Startup Class Data Sharing (CDS) archives are currently optimized for Windows; macOS cold-start optimization is planned for the next release.
• Gatekeeper First-Launch: Because this build is distributed as an open-source community release without Apple's paid notarization ticket, macOS may prompt on first launch. If prompted, right-click Auralis.app -> Open, or run:

  xattr -cr /Applications/Auralis.app

Auralis v1.1.0

The biggest Auralis update so far: a smoother app from launch to lyrics, much better search, stats that follow your account, real offline caching, and a rebuilt Listen Together.

Updating: this project-signed APK can install over the project's 1.0.0 APK without clearing local data. The in-app updater checks GitHub Releases for newer versions.

✨ New

• Your stats follow your account. Listening stats can be backed up when you're signed in and restored after a reinstall or on a new phone when a backup is available. Clearing stats also clears the account copy.
• Song cache. Played audio is kept on your phone up to your "Max song cache size" (Settings › Storage). Fully cached songs can replay without internet; older cache entries are removed when the limit is reached.
• Search: "Also matching". An album and a song that share a name can appear in the Top result and Also matching cards, based on query relevance and available play counts. Results depend on the source catalog.
• Remove from queue in a queued song's ⋮ menu.
• Discord profile. Your Discord avatar shows in Discord Integration.
• Mini-player designs: Expanded, New and Classic, plus a Pure Black option.
• Page transitions: Settings and its pages slide in and out instead of snapping.
• Home and Stats unfold section by section when they open.
• Player & Audio settings page.

🚀 Smoother

• Launch: reduced blank flashing after the launch screen. The launch screen matches the app's colours, and Home artwork loads sooner.
• Player: smoother song changes, title/artist transitions and backgrounds; improved scrolling and blur performance.
• Artwork fades in instead of popping.
• Volume: a new wavy dial that turns as you drag it.
• Speed dial: faster pinning feedback.

🎤 Lyrics

• Word-by-word karaoke highlighting with smoother sweeps, plus a new word-synced lyrics provider.
• Improved highlight timing after tapping a lyric line.
• Improved music-break placement and countdowns for intros and longer breaks.
• Filters some stray "Artist - Title" header lines from lyric sources.
• Hindi/Urdu lyrics can be shown in Latin script when transliteration is available.
• More songs can get synced lyrics; remix matching and lyric-length checks were improved.

🔍 Search & albums

• Search uses title relevance and available play counts to rank results.
• Same-name albums and songs can be distinguished in search and opened separately.
• Spelling variants of Hindi titles (wada / vada) count as the same song.
• View album tries to identify a song's original release instead of a compilation. Identified standalone singles show Single.
• Album filtering reduces duplicate DJ remixes where the original is already present.

👥 Listen Together

• Separate host permissions for "control playback" and "play songs", with optional approval (Allow / Decline) for guests' picks.
• The host briefly holds new songs for guests to load, subject to a timeout, and coordinates seeks and skips.
• Hosts close rooms on normal exit, with automatic idle cleanup while the host app is running.
• Full queue sync (up to 100 songs), with live queue edits reaching guests.

📊 Stats

• Only real listening time counts; skips don't add a whole song.
• Play counts work (they could all show 0 before).
• Duplicate-upload matching reduces split counts for the same song.

🎧 Discord

• Rich Presence options update the activity shown on Discord.
• Seeking updates Discord right away.

🛠 Fixes

• Expanded mini-player shows its controls again.
• ⋮ menus are less glaring with dynamic colours.
• Shuffle stays on for new lists and after restarting the app.
• Playlist drag-to-reorder works again, without bouncing.
• The mini-player no longer blocks scrolling, and content no longer hides behind the bottom bar.
• Fixed a crash when scrolling large playlists.
• Fixed a Live Mesh background crash.

⚙️ New defaults (new installs)

Blur mini-player background, High audio quality, and a 5-second Discord update interval with the app logo as the small image. Settings you've already changed are kept.
