Hi Product Hunt! 👋

Yes, another radio app... but live radio from anywhere in the world is still magic. Most of the apps for it aren't.

I went through a lot of them, one for the Mac, another for the iPhone. Ads everywhere, bloat, interfaces that never felt like they belonged on an Apple device. I just wanted to press play.

So AirWave became my side project. Night after night, with one goal: a radio app that feels like Apple made it, stays simple and lightweight, and runs across the whole Apple ecosystem.

Today it's on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and CarPlay, with Apple TV coming soon. One download covers all of them.

Here's what I refused to compromise on:

  • No ads. Nothing between you and the station. Just radio.

  • No account. No sign-up. Open it and you're listening.

  • No tracking. No analytics, and I never see what you listen to.

  • No bloat. It has grown a lot of features and it's still lightweight.

It's built to feel at home on every device:

  • Mac: it lives in your menu bar, always one click away. Browse stations, control the equalizer and set a sleep timer without leaving what you're doing.

  • iPhone and iPad: background playback, Control Center and the Lock Screen, all where you'd expect them.

  • Apple Watch: listen on your wrist with AirPods, or control your iPhone and hand playback over with one tap.

  • CarPlay: browse and play hands-free, with the song and artist on your car's display.

  • AirPlay and Sonos: send it to your HomePod or any AirPlay speaker, or play stations on your Sonos speakers from iPhone and iPad.

  • Siri: just ask for your station.

And it gives you control over live radio:

  • Missed something? Rewind up to 30 minutes, or pause and pick up where you left off.

  • Loved that song? Recently Heard shows every song that played, with links to Apple Music and Spotify.

  • Tired of loudness jumps between stations? Even Volume smooths them out.

  • Want it to sound your way? There's a 10-band EQ with 14 presets.

  • Falling asleep to the radio? Set a sleep timer and AirWave handles the rest.

Listening is free, for as long as you like, with thousands of stations from every country, rewind, the EQ, the sleep timer, CarPlay and up to 5 favorites.

If AirWave earns a place in your day, AirWave Pro adds unlimited favorites, your own stations, recording, iCloud sync, Last.fm, widgets, Sonos playback and the Apple Watch app. It's $0.99 a month or $4.99 a year, with the first month free, and one subscription covers all your Apple devices. It's what keeps this side project going and getting better.

Stations come from the community-run directory, so coverage varies per country. So tell me: which station is missing, what would make this your default radio app, and what would you want on Apple TV?

I'll be here all day to answer.
