Off the grid. On topic.
A Mac app for organising and playing your music collection. No cloud, no subscriptions, just your music.
Download for Mac - FreeThe Idea
You've spent years building your music library - albums that defined summers, songs tied to people and places, records you hunted down and kept. Offtopic gives that collection a home on your Mac. No streaming. No cloud. No subscriptions. Just your music, beautifully organised and always within reach.
What It Does
Drop a folder and Offtopic reads everything - artist, album, year, genre. Your library, sorted instantly without moving or renaming a single file.
No internet required. No streaming gaps. No buffering. Your music plays from your own drive, the way it was always meant to.
Years of music, finally browsable. Filter by artist, album, or genre. Find that record you forgot you owned. Rediscover what you stopped playing.
Albums carry moments. Offtopic keeps your collection intact - artwork, tracklists, and all the metadata that tells the story of where a record belongs in your life.
Wrong artist name, missing artwork, mis-numbered tracks? Edit metadata directly - one file or a whole album at a time. Changes write straight to the file.
Native SwiftUI on macOS Sonoma. Fast, keyboard-friendly, and designed to feel like it was always part of your Mac - not a web app wearing a costume.
The Offtopic Way
"A song can take you back instantly to a moment, a place, or even a person."
Music is personal in a way nothing else is. Offtopic is built to protect that - keeping your collection private, offline, and entirely yours. No algorithm decides what you hear next. No subscription decides what you can access.
How It Works
Point Offtopic at your music folder. It scans everything instantly - no copying, no importing, no reorganising your files.
See your entire collection by artist, album, or genre. Rediscover records you forgot were there. Your library, finally legible.
Edit track names, album artwork, and metadata with one click. Your changes save directly to the file - no proprietary library format, no lock-in.
No shuffle algorithm, no playlist suggestions, no recommendations. Just you and the music you chose to keep.
MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, and other formats natively supported by macOS.
