The Winamp spirit, reborn for macOS

Niguna is a lightweight, beautiful music player for macOS inspired by the classic players we grew up with. After decades of using Winamp and AIMP on Windows, I moved to Mac and couldn't find a player that felt right — fast, simple, customizable, and focused on my own music collection. So I built Niguna. Play your MP3, FLAC, and M4A files without subscriptions, algorithms, or distractions. Your music stays yours
How does it handle larger libraries, like over 10k tracks? Curious if search and performance stay snappy at that scale.
Love the no-subscription, local-files approach, that's exactly what the macOS music scene has been missing. One thing I'd love to see is a proper smart playlist builder, like AIMP had, where you can define rules based on rating, play count, or last played date. Would make managing a big library so much easier.
Finally gave it a spin and it really does feel like coming home. Scanned my FLAC folder in seconds and the interface stays out of the way.
Finally a Mac player that gets the simplicity right. The classic vibe is there without feeling dated, and loading my FLAC library was instant.
the choice to keep it focused on local files without any streaming hooks or social clutter is genuinely refreshing. love that you prioritized the actual listening experience over feature bloat.
The fact that this came from a real "I missed my old player" frustration comes through in every detail. Love that it stays focused on local files instead of trying to be another streaming wrapper.
