“I tried this Mac music app, and now I wish macOS had it built in.” — Digital Trends
Now fully controllable from the keyboard.
Your album art, artists, and playlists form a flowing carousel at the
edge of your screen. Swipe to browse, then control Apple Music or
Spotify without opening a full-size player. Or summon it with a
shortcut and start typing to find anything in your library.
BROWSE BY COVER, NOT BY LIST
Spin through a carousel of album art and let your collection catch your
eye. It's a more human way to find something to play.
KEEP YOUR MUSIC WITHIN REACH
Move your pointer to the left, right, or bottom of the screen, and
Gramola slides out. Move away when you're done. Your music stays close
without taking over your desktop.
SEARCH, PRESS RETURN, LISTEN
Summon Gramola with a keyboard shortcut and start typing. Gramola shows
your library first, then looks through the Apple Music or Spotify
catalog when the song lives elsewhere.
SEE WHAT'S BEHIND THE COVER
Click an album or playlist to open its track list. Choose a track. That
easy.
CONTROLS YOUR MUSIC PLAYER, DOESN'T REPLACE IT
Gramola isn't a music player. It gives you a better way to browse, then
tells Apple Music or Spotify what to play — including your local tracks. Apple Music stations and anything played straight from the catalog run on MusicKit inside Gramola; everything already in your library plays in the app you use.
A SHELF FOR EVERY WAY YOU LOOK
Albums, artists, playlists, songs and recently played, plus a pinned
shelf for whatever you keep coming back to. Apple Music adds stations
and live radio; Spotify adds your Liked Songs. Switch off the shelves
you don't want and put the rest in the order you do.
WORKS FROM THE KEYBOARD, TOO
Browse the shelf, open an album, play, pin and search without reaching
for the mouse. Hold Option and press a letter to jump straight to it.
Settings lists every shortcut.
FOLLOWS YOUR ACCESSIBILITY SETTINGS
Reduce Motion, Reduce Transparency, Increase Contrast and visible
outlines all change how Gramola looks and moves.
SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE
English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Brazilian
Portuguese and Simplified Chinese — and the shelf sorts the way the
Music app does in each of them.
FREE FOR 7 DAYS
Try everything free for 7 days. After that, a single one-time purchase
unlocks Gramola. No subscription.
Requires macOS 26 or later on Apple Silicon or Intel. Gramola reads
your library and controls playback; it never uploads your music.
Ratings & Reviews
This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Fixes for search and keyboard focus:
• With Type to Search off, the search bar now rests as a compact button. Click it or press Shift-Option-S to expand it — and it no longer takes the keyboard when the shelf opens.
• With Type to Search on, pressing Escape dismisses the results but keeps the search bar focused, ready for the next search.
