Radiostar comes to Mac!, Twist your trackpad and the dial turns, static rolls between stations, and a live broadcast locks in. A real vintage radio, on your Mac desktop
RadioStar comes to the Mac.
The vintage radio that's already on thousands of iPhones now lives on your desktop, and on the Mac you don't just listen, you tune. Twist two fingers on your trackpad and
the brass dial turns, the needle sweeps across the band, and the static rolls until a station locks in. Slow down near a frequency and you'll hear it fade up through the
noise, just like a real set.
This isn't a list of stations with a play button. It's a photorealistic radio that sits on your desktop like a real object, and it responds to your hands.
Twist to tune. Swipe to set the volume. The whole radio answers to your fingers.
LIVE STATIONS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
3700+ curated live stations across 69 countries, from local FM and AM to far-off broadcasts you'd never stumble onto otherwise. Tune your own city or drift across the
planet.
A REAL RADIO ON YOUR DESKTOP
The radio is a floating object on your screen. No title bar, no chrome, just the radio. Warm tube glow through the grille, a red needle that slides across the dial, and
hand-built cabinet finishes from classic walnut with brass to painted mint with chrome. Drag it anywhere and it stays put.
TWO RADIOS, ONE DESKTOP
Start with the RS-3 Tube Classic, a horizontal tube set with a glowing dial and brass knobs. Unlock the RS-4 Portable too: a hand-held transistor radio with a real
see-through carry handle, a dual-band AM/FM glass dial, a punched concentric speaker, and its own five finishes from Classic Grey to Saddle Leather. Switch between the two
from the back panel and the cabinet reshapes to fit.
PUT IT AWAY WITH A TWIST
Hold the power button and the radio powers down and slips off your screen, still playing. Then twist two fingers anywhere on the desktop, even while you're working in
another app, and it rises right back into view as the signal tunes in. It's the one gesture that runs the whole radio: twist to tune, and twist to bring it back.
PRESETS THAT FEEL LIKE HARDWARE
Hold PRESETS to save a station to one of four slots — the lamp warms up like a filament. Step through your favorites or tap one to jump straight to it, the way car-radio
presets used to work.
REAL STATIC, REAL TUNING
Authentic analog static between stations, distinct for AM and FM. The faster you twist, the more it crackles. It's the sound of actually finding a station, not skipping to
one.
NO ADS. NO TRACKING. NO ACCOUNTS.
RadioStar doesn't collect your data. No sign-up, no profile, no analytics following you around. Privacy like it's 1965.
FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UNLOCK
Free includes the full radio, the classic walnut finish, and stations across North America and worldwide feeds. A one-time unlock adds all six Tube Classic finishes, the
RS-4 Portable radio with its own five finishes, five world regions covering 60+ countries, and the ability to combine multiple countries on one dial. Buy it once, it's
yours.
Also available on iPhone.

V1.2 updates:
Two new radios join the shelf: the D-808 World Receiver, a matte-black DSP radio with an amber LCD, and the TT-458 Clear Voice, featuring a chrome bezel and printed glass dial. Both are included with GOLD, and each comes in five finishes.
Tune by genre. Choose a country, then select Pop, Jazz, News, Oldies, and more. The dial fills with real matching stations from a hand-checked catalog of more than 9,000 stations across 68 countries.
Browse before you buy. Every region, country, and genre can now be explored freely. Press and hold a country or genre to view its station list. GOLD unlocks playback for stations in locked regions.
Also included: a refreshed station catalog, smoother tuning, and numerous small fixes.
