Features
Designed for people who care about their music.
Every screen is hand-built — no Catalyst, no web wrapper. Just fast, native SwiftUI that feels at home on your Mac and your phone.
A real 10-band EQ
Biquad-driven equalizer with a tap-and-drag interface and Pro presets. Tweak it once on Mac, sync the curve across all your devices via iCloud.
Artists worth visiting
Spotify-style artist pages with bios, top tracks ranked by Last.fm popularity, full album grid, and similar artists from your own library. Tap and stay a while.
Offline that just works
Download tracks, albums, or whole playlists with one tap. Bolera detects the container automatically so even FLAC and lossless ALAC files actually play offline.
Last.fm, properly wired
Sign in with your last.fm username — no API keys to register. Get curated similar artists, real bios, smarter daily mixes, and optional scrobbling that follows the official 30-second / 50% rules.
Your library, your rules
Hide the Christmas library in January. Tell Bolera to never auto-mix that one cursed album. Pin your favourites to the sidebar. Pro power-tools, opt-in only.
Design
Built like Jellyfin — finished like Apple.
Same purples, same restraint, same dark mode that gets out of the way. Vibrancy where it earns its keep. Spring-loaded animations throughout. Zero web views.
- ✓ Native SwiftUI on Mac (no Catalyst)

- ✓ Last.fm tag→artist matching
- ✓ Diversity-capped & decade-aware

MTAudioProcessingTap — so it works on streams,
downloads, and AirPlay alike.

- ✓ Presets: Flat, Vocal, Bass Boost, Bright, Acoustic
