Where the Mac version stands

Coming soon. The Mac app is built and tested on a Mac, and the two download buttons on the home page turn on by themselves as soon as the .dmg files are uploaded. Until then you can build it yourself.

  1. On a Mac, install Node.js and download the Fox Music source from GitHub.
  2. Run bash tools/build-mac.sh in the project folder. It builds the app for your Mac.
  3. Open the app from the release folder. The first time, right-click it and choose Open, then Open again, because the app is not signed by Apple.

Questions

Mac FAQ

Is there a music player for Mac?

Fox Music supports macOS on Apple Silicon and Intel, but the ready-made .dmg is not on the website yet. The Mac download is marked Coming soon and turns on by itself once the files are uploaded.

Can I get it on my Mac today?

What will the first start look like?

Will it have the same features as Windows?
