Music Visualizer: LIQUIDWAVE

Moving Graphics, Sound & Touch

Free · In‑App Purchases

Turn the music you love into a live visual experience. LIQUIDWAVE brings 40 curated scenes to your Mac, with waves, point clouds, lasers and liquid chrome that respond to what you hear. YOUR MUSIC, IN MOTION Visualise audio playing on your Mac using built-in system audio capture. Choose an app or your system output, with no virtual audio drivers to install. Some protected content may not be available for capture. Switch to Listen Mode to respond to sound through your microphone: records, speakers, instruments and live music in the room. 40 SCENES. 8 STYLES. • Line — waveforms and contour lines. • Graphic — op art, geometric patterns and halftone dots. • Wire — wireframe oceans and rolling landscapes. • Raster — point clouds, particles and data-inspired forms. • Lighting — stage lights, lasers and haze. • Chroma — auroras, curtains and fields of colour. • Cyber — neon grids and retro-futuristic worlds. • Metal — liquid chrome, foil and iridescent surfaces. MAKE ROOM FOR THE MUSIC Go full screen, or bring the visuals to your desktop behind your icons. Enable full-screen visuals when you are away; they disappear when you return to your Mac. Save your favourites, adjust speed and intensity, or let Shuffle move through scenes with the music. Click the canvas to set the graphics in motion where you touch them. ENJOY IT WITHOUT AUDIO Choose Ambient Auto to keep the scenes moving without an audio input. It creates visual motion without playing music. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Audio is analysed on your Mac and is not recorded or uploaded. No account, no tracking, no analytics and no ads. START WITH TWO SCENES Wave is always free, plus one scene you choose during the welcome tour. Full Unlock is a one-time purchase that opens all 40 scenes on Mac, iPhone and iPad. No subscription required. Requires macOS 14.2 or later.

SCENE RECORDING • Record the visuals, with the music you're hearing, to an MP4. Start from the record button in the Styles panel or from Start Recording… in the menu bar, stop from the pill at the bottom of the window, and choose where to save. On the free plan a small LIQUIDWAVE mark appears in the corner of the file; Full Unlock removes it. WINDOW • Window → Aspect Ratio resizes the window to 21:9, 16:9, 16:10, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 or 9:16. • Closing the window no longer quits LIQUIDWAVE. The menu bar item, Now Playing in the notch and Desktop Mode carry on, and ⌘0 or the Dock icon brings the window back. • The Styles panel opens from its button at the bottom left, or with ↑ / ↓, rather than whenever the mouse moves. Clicking the scene closes it. • Your display stays awake only while LIQUIDWAVE is on screen and music is playing. With the window closed, the visuals idling on Ambient Auto or the music paused, it dims and sleeps on your usual schedule. AUDIO • Launch source "Last used" reopens the source you used last: System Audio, Listen Mode or Ambient Auto. • Ambient Auto — No Input moves to ⇧⌘0. macOS keeps ⇧⌘3 for screenshots, so it never reached the app. • When LIQUIDWAVE hears nothing, the hint says what to check in plain language. NOW PLAYING • Pressing Play no longer blanks the island's clock or reloads the cover. • A paused track stays on the island for five minutes, and only from the app you were listening to. Pausing Apple Music no longer brings up a song left paused in Spotify. • Play, previous and next reconnect to the player instead of going dead while it is still starting up. FIXED • Previewing the full-screen visuals no longer keeps bringing them back when you're away while Show full screen is off. • The paywall shows the price in your App Store country's currency. • The Window menu no longer lists tab commands that did nothing.
