About Nuage

Nuage is an independent, open-source native SoundCloud client built for macOS using Apple’s SwiftUI framework. It is designed to offer a lightweight, visually appealing interface for listening to SoundCloud tracks, serving as an alternative to the service’s web player or other third-party options.

The project is still in heavy active development, with many planned features not yet implemented and the user interface still undergoing refinement. It is not officially affiliated with SoundCloud, and relies on the service’s private API, which may lead to broken functionality if SoundCloud updates its API access rules. Users can install the app via Homebrew or by downloading a pre-built release from its public GitHub repository.
