Six of the 54 looks — real exports, nothing edited

New in 2.1 · Timeline and Radial

Eight looks you only get in the app.

akira player is now an app for Mac and Windows. It opens like any app, works offline, and keeps your looks and your export folder. It brings eight looks of its own: Exploded, Defrag, Map, Panels, Patch, Field, Timeline and Radial. Five of them need no MIDI at all. New in 2.1: Timeline draws your beat as an infographic poster while it plays, and Radial grows it into a radial tree (or a dot-matrix chart). Both run on the beat alone.

Timeline your beat as an infographic poster

Radial a radial tree, or a dot-matrix chart

Exploded your parts as an exploded-view drawing

Panels neon windows that re-tile on the beat

Patch your beat running as a Pure Data patch

Field field notes on what you hear

Defrag a disk defragmenting into your steps

Map a body as a pressure map, one ring per octave

Already bought? The app is free for you: download it from your Payhip receipt and your key just works.

My numbers, not a promise. Reach is a lottery. What the app changed is the part I control: a video takes seconds, so I could post 227 instead of a handful.

“Wait, the app made this whole video by itself? That’s insane. OK, I’m getting it.”

a producer, Telegram · translated from Russian

“bro the [app] is so fire, my workflow is so much better”

a buyer, Instagram DM

“I’d been looking forever for a way to make videos with my own music. There’s never time, and sometimes not even the energy — you really helped a ton.”

Buying on your phone works: the file and key come by email, for your computer.

At checkout, tick “Send me product updates and offers via email”. That's how new versions reach your inbox.

A Mac or a Windows PC. One download with the app for Mac (Apple chip or Intel) and Windows. Works offline after activation. Mac: macOS 13 Ventura or later. On an older Mac, use the browser version that comes in the same download.
One key, two computers. Enter it once, then it works offline. About → Deactivate gives a seat back.
Made by one producer. Something broken? support@akira.center reaches me.

Opening it the first time

The app isn’t from the App Store or the Microsoft Store, so the first launch takes a minute of extra clicks, once. After that it opens like any other app.

Mac: drag akira player into Applications and open it. macOS says it can’t check it for malware. Careful: the highlighted blue button is Move to Trash, and pressing Return clicks it. Click Done instead. Then open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to the line about akira player and click Open Anyway. A second box asks again: click Open Anyway and confirm with Touch ID or your Mac password. Right-click → Open no longer works on new macOS, and the last step needs an administrator account on that Mac.
Windows: if “Windows protected your PC” shows up, click More info, then Run anyway. It installs just for you, no admin needed.
Download it straight to your computer, not through Telegram or another chat app: they break the files.

Questions people ask

Does the app make the music?

No — you bring the beat. The app turns your sound into the video. It never generates audio.

Do I need a MIDI file?

No. 21 looks run on the audio alone. The rest read a MIDI file (up to four parts) and draw your melody, chords and bass as they are.

Where do I get the MIDI?

From the project you made the beat in: export the melody, chords or bass as a .mid from FL Studio, Ableton, Logic or any DAW.

Does it work on my phone?

The app runs on a Mac or a Windows PC. You can still buy on your phone: the download link and your key arrive by email. Email me the link ›

Is my beat uploaded anywhere?

No. The video is made on your own machine. The app only sends your licence key, to activate it and re-check it about once a fortnight, and once a day it asks if there's a new version.

My Mac says it can’t check the app

That’s macOS being careful with apps from outside the App Store. Don’t click the blue Move to Trash button (Return presses it): click Done, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, click Open Anyway next to akira player, then Open Anyway again and your password. You only do this once. Deleted it by accident? Download it again from your Payhip receipt. All the steps ›

Do updates cost extra?

No. Every update is free for anyone who bought it, the desktop app included. Bought it before the desktop app came out? Your key works in the app.
