## What is muwav?

muwav is a music player for people who actually own their music.

No algorithms deciding what you should like. No recommendations. No subscriptions. Just your library, organized the way your life actually works.

WAVES: PLAYLISTS GOT A SURFBOARD

Records. Cassette. CD. MP3. Streaming. The format changed five times — the playlist stayed the same. Waves are named contexts — Work, Family Time, Sleep, Dinner Party — that remember what you've heard. Your music follows your life.

SO WHAT IS MUWAV?

muwav is not a replacement for streaming services, and it doesn't come with music — it plays yours. It's something different: a player built around the idea that your relationship with music has rhythm and context, and your player should respect that.

YOUR LIBRARY, EVERYWHERE

Your Mac is muwav's command center. Build and polish your library: set cue points, rate tracks and perfect your artwork. And everything syncs to your iPhone through iCloud. Your music, your metadata, your way, on both devices.

BUILT FOR LISTENERS, NOT BROWSERS

- Dynamic rotation: tracks you haven't heard recently rise to the top
- Per-track playback speed adjustment
- Start and end point markers for trimming intros and outros
- Five-star ratings that actually mean something — because you set them
- Eight Waves for every context — work, commute, focus, wind-down — plus a special Holiday wave


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-13

Fixes an occasional crash when starting playback from CarPlay, the Lock Screen, or Control Center while muwav wasn't already running

### 1.1 — 2026-07-16

• A rebuilt playback engine — smoother playback, cleaner speed changes, and a crash on certain MP3s is fixed 
• Deleted tracks stay deleted — no more ghosts in All Tracks or Uncategorized 
• Disabled Waves are now truly hidden — lists, track pills, CarPlay — and no longer use device storage 
• Offline downloads are wave-scoped, with clear summaries of what was fetched 
• Tracks still in iCloud now download before playing instead of failing quietly 
• Steadier star ratings, a tidier Now Playing, and bigger touch targets throughout

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-11
