HALCYON

Your music. Every format. No cloud.

HALCYON is a Mac media player for people who own their library — and refuse to rent it. The free player, My Pleasure, is in the works, and I'm building it in the open. Get on the list.

Free. No spam, no list-selling — just the build, as it ships.

Why I'm building this

I've got a hundred-thousand-plus songs — live sets, soundboards, lossless rips, formats half my apps won't even open. Every streaming service wants me to rent music I already own, and still can't play half my library. So I'm building the player I always wanted.

The encore is the one that makes live-music people cry happy tears. Built in the open — you'll see it as it ships.

My Pleasure is free and ad-free — a gift, hence the name. Buy-once tiers come later for the power tools. Never a subscription.
