Hey everyone, I created Lo-fi Anything!
I built this because I wanted to listen to regular music like it was a lo-fi stream, without having to find playlists or deal with Youtube Ads. Every existing way to do this on a Mac meant installing a virtual audio driver and rerouting my whole system, which always felt like too much.
Lo-fi Anything skips all that. You pick one app, and it just works: no installer, no reboot, nothing rerouted. The audio runs through a chain of tape saturation, EQ, warp, and reverb, and there are six presets if you don't want to touch the sliders yourself.
Happy to answer anything about where it's going or what's next.
Skipping the virtual audio driver setup is genuinely a relief—most lo-fi apps make me mess with BlackHole just to hear anything, and this just worked on Spotify immediately. The tape saturation has a nice weight to it without sounding muddy.
Building real-time audio routing and processing engines on macOS without introducing massive latency or CPU spikes is a brutal optimization challenge. Turning system-wide audio into real-time tunable lo-fi streams sounds incredibly satisfying.
I'm curious about how you handled the audio engine architecture under the hood—are you tapping into the core system audio layer directly, or routing through a virtual driver setup to apply the effects with zero delay? Brilliant utility, congrats on the launch!
How does it actually capture the audio from just one app without touching system sound, is it hooking into the app's own output directly somehow?
