Just discovered this beautiful menu bar app!

I love the concept of traveling the world through live radio. It’s been my companion for deep work sessions lately. One moment I'm in Spain, the next in Nepal, and then roaming to Japan. It really changes the vibe.

Simple, native, and sounds great. Huge congrats to the maker @houjoe for the launch! 🚀

Comment highlights

As a menu bar resident app, it manages memory usage exceptionally well, running almost unnoticeably in the background. Are there any plans to support keyboard shortcuts (e.g., for quick switching/muting) in the future to make control even more convenient?

It excels as an ambient sound tool, striking a perfect balance between providing company and being unobtrusive. When working or studying, can I set a sleep timer, or have it automatically play a specific genre of radio when I launch a certain app (e.g., design software)?

Random Wandering is the app’s standout feature, and the experience of switching to a radio station across the globe with one click is incredibly soothing. Does it support creating a personal favorites folder for beloved radio stations for quick revisits?

As a menu bar resident app, its icon design and dropdown menu layout are exceptionally clean and aesthetically pleasing, with highly intuitive operations. While playing a station, could the menu bar display the current station’s city or national flag in a more dynamic way to enhance the sense of "wandering"?

My perfect work companion. This app makes work so much more enjoyable. I listen to it for almost 8 hours every day and it never gets old!

A lot of radio discovery is “serendipity-first,” but people quickly want continuity—favorites, history, returning to a vibe. How do you think about the balance between ‘random roam’ and ‘I need to find that station again,’ and what’s your philosophy for keeping that power without adding clutter?

Using it every day! Love the app. But mostly listen to only 2-3 countries I love 😭

What a funny coincidence that I am listening to "Video Killed the Radio Star" the second I see this launch.

Instantly downloaded it! Excited to try it out now.
