Applications using projectM

This page contains a (non-exhaustive) list of applications either directly being developed by the core projectM team or provided by third-party developers.

Important: Please note that the core projectM developers can only provide support for applications that are part of the main project. We cannot give you any advice or technical support for third-party apps.

Applications provided by the projectM team

These applications are developed by the core projectM team as open-source projects and supported via the gitHub project pages:

  • Standalone Application
    Available for Windows, macOS and Linux. Requires the latest Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable package to run on Windows.
  • Steam Release
    Available for Windows, macOS and Linux. It's free and doesn't require Steam to be running. This app is basically the same as the standalone version.
  • Standalone Qt Application
    An alternative user interface built with Qt that has a preset playlist manager, preset rating support and a configuration dialog. Currently only works on Linux using PulseAudio for retrieving audio data.
  • EyeTune - For Xbox, Windows tablets and mobile devices, also works on desktops. Due to UWP limitations, this app doesn't allow to add/change presets and only supports microphone audio recording.
  • Music.app Plugin
    A visualization plug-in for the macOS Music app.

Applications by third-party developers

This is a list of applications, players and plug-ins using projectM for visualizing audio content, either as a standalone visualizer or part of a larger application. All these sources are maintained by people not (directly) involved in projectM core development and some of these apps might even be closed source or commercial products.

  • Brew
    Homebrew package for macOS. Contains the standalone version above. Also comes with the development files.
  • Android Standalone App
    Available in the Google Play Store, this app can visualize audio played on most modern Android devices. It is available as an ad-supported free version, an ad-free paid versions and there is a special Android TV app as well. The apps are being developed and published by one of the original projectM authors, Peter Sperl.
  • VLC Media Player
    Open-source media player for many formats and devices. Uses projectM as a visualization plug-in (not included on all platforms though).
  • Kodi
    On most platforms, Kodi comes with a projectM plug-in in the official add-on repository.
  • Silverjuke
    An open-source jukebox application that uses projectM for added visual appeal, but hasn't seen much activity in the last years.
  • Clementine Music Player
    Qt-based cross-platform music player inspired by Amarok 1.4 using projectM to visualize played audio.
  • VCV Rack
    The open-source Eurorack modular synthesizer simulator for Windows/Mac/Linux. ProjectM comes in two flavours LFMEmbedded and LFMFull that can be added to your account from here (https://library.vcvrack.com/?query=&brand=RPJ&tag=&license=)

If you know of any other application using projectM that's missing in the list, feel free to add it.
