Roam FM is a native macOS app that turns live radio from 40,000+ stations into your ambient background sound.
What it does:
- Roam FM sits in your menu bar and lets you randomly explore radio stations from over 200 countries and regions. Instead of endless scrolling through playlists, it picks a station for you and lets you roam the world through sound.
Core features:
- Random Roaming: Start from any corner of the world and discover sounds you'd never search for. From a jazz station in Buenos Aires to a talk show in Reykjavik.
- Ambient by Design: Automatically filters out stations in languages you understand, so the voices become background texture rather than distraction. Perfect for focus work.
- Visual Geography: Every station lights up its location on an interactive 3D globe. You hear it, and you see where it's from.
- Native Menu Bar Experience: Built in Swift. Lightweight (10MB), always accessible, low memory footprint. No browser tabs, no WebGL overhead.
Built for: focused workers who need ambient sound, radio collectors, remote workers seeking connection to the wider world, and anyone who wants to escape their algorithm bubble.
Free to download and use.
