CLUSTER BAR-MENU-RADIO · 8 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-12

macOS menu-bar music players

The cluster consists of macOS menu-bar applications for streaming music and radio, each tied to a specific source (Yandex, YouTube, Radio Record, or global stations). The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only 0 dated entries exist before the index start, so the cluster predates the index or its members are undated. Among traction leaders, mooziac leads with 43 stars, while record-player-macos and mywavebar each have 2 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 8 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
