Petrichor is a free, open-source, native macOS music player for offline local music libraries, supporting over 20 audio formats including MP3, FLAC, ALAC, Ogg Vorbis, and DSD. It offers library organization by metadata, smart playlists, synced lyrics, a 10-band equalizer, gapless playback, Last.fm scrobbling, and Siri/Shortcuts integration.

Use cases

• play local mp3 and flac files on mac without streaming
• organize a large offline music library by artist album and genre
• create smart playlists with rules based on genre year and play count
• view synced lyrics while listening to tracks
• scrobble plays to last.fm from a local library
• play obscure audio formats like ape wavpack and dsd on mac
• control music playback with siri and shortcuts
• use an equalizer and gapless playback for local music

When to choose

• you have a local music collection and want a native, offline macOS player
• you need broad audio format support including lossless and exotic formats
• you want streaming-app-like features (smart playlists, lyrics, go-to navigation) without a subscription
• you care about privacy and an app that never modifies your files

When to avoid

• you want streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music built in
• you need a cross-platform player for Windows or Linux
• your tracks have poor or missing metadata, since the library relies heavily on tags
• you need extensive tag editing, as the app never writes to files
