Hey Product Hunt,

in June @necmttn and I wished there was a simple way to turn our Mac into a radio station so we could share whatever we were listening to with our friends while co-working.

The result is Macrowave, a native macOS and iOS app that makes it simple to host your own radio station. You can use it to broadcast audio to your friends, followers, or colleagues. We put a lot of love and effort into the skeuomorphic design and make every interaction feel unique and fun.

You only need 3 steps to get started:

  1. Download & launch Macrowave

  2. Select from which app you want to broadcast audio

  3. Share the link with your friends or followers (they don’t need our app)

It's completely private and uses peer-to-peer technology for minimal latency between the broadcaster and listeners. Being P2P gives Macrowave the advantage of being real-time with almost zero latency compared to other streaming services like YouTube or Twitch, where you usually have between 10 and 30 seconds of delay. This was important to us because we wanted to experience beat drops at the same time while working in busy co-working spaces.

Since we released the app, we have seen people host their own radio stations and live podcasts. What will your station sound like?

We hope you will have a lot of fun with it. ❤️

xoxo

Lucas

Live now: Jazz-HipHop fusion vibes on my Macrowave station! Currently spinning some smooth beats perfect for late-night coding or just chilling. The blend of jazz samples with modern hip-hop production is chef's kiss 👌

Hey! Great job on the product. It provides an amazing way to listen your friend's favorite songs. I know that you had mentioned that there was a web app. How do I access that? Thanks!

Brilliant solution! Been looking for something like this for ages to share tunes with the office crew. Love that it's P2P so we're all hearing the beat drops at the same time - proper game changer for remote work vibes. Clean UI too, very Apple-esque. 👌

Best of luck on the launch Lucas & team. Can't wait to turn my mac into a macrowave:) I feel like you are a team that would be interested in new & non traditional ways of doing marketing. Let's connect!

Macrowave turns any Mac audio into a private, real-time stream. Share a link, skip the tracking, and enjoy perfect sync across iPhone, Mac, or web. Whether it’s music, co-working, or shared moments, it just flows.

curios if we're talking actual radio. Like what bands? Just thinking use cases.

Turning up the vibes, one Mac at a time 🎚️🎛️ 📻 👨‍🎤

Congrats on the launch boys, love love lvoe it!

This is truly beautiful.

Love the design craft, pure indie vibes with 80's elegance. Peer to peer true privacy

You get my upvote. Cheers

I can already imagine friend groups running their own mini radio stations late at night 😂 Wishing you more success!

Finally, it’s not an AI stitching project anymore

Looking forward to seeing more and more projects like this

Congratulations on the successful launch
