Oort cloud music player for Mac streaming a library from Dropbox, OneDrive and iCloud Drive

Your music lives in the cloud. Now it plays like it's on your Mac.

Most Mac music apps assume your library is sitting on your internal drive. That stopped being true years ago — collections outgrew laptop SSDs and moved to Dropbox, OneDrive, and iCloud Drive. The problem is that a folder full of FLAC and MP3 files in the cloud isn't a music player. You get files, not a library: no album art, no gapless playback, no proper browsing.

Oort is the cloud music player that fixes that. It connects to the storage you already pay for, reads your tracks and tags, and turns them into a real, browsable library — art, albums, artists, playlists, search — all playing on demand from the cloud. Nothing is re-uploaded to anyone's servers, because Oort doesn't have any. Your files stay exactly where they are.

Play from any cloud — or all of them at once

Oort doesn't lock you into one provider. Connect as many sources as you like and it merges them into a single library you can browse and search as one:

Cloud-sized storage, local-app speed

Streaming from the cloud usually means waiting. Oort is built to feel instant: it streams tracks on demand, caches what you play, and prefetches the next track so albums play gapless, with no silence between songs. It stays quick and light even with libraries of tens of thousands of tracks, because it's written in Swift as a genuinely native Mac app — not an Electron web wrapper.

You don't have to download your entire collection to disk just to listen to it, and you don't have to give up the polish of a desktop-class player to get cloud-sized storage. You get both.

A real player, not a file browser

Lossless matters here too — Oort plays FLAC, ALAC, AAC, and MP3, so your high-resolution files sound the way they should.

Cloud music player FAQ

What is a cloud music player?

A cloud music player plays your music files directly from cloud storage — like Dropbox, OneDrive, or iCloud Drive — instead of requiring you to keep every track on your Mac's internal drive. Oort connects to your accounts and streams from them, so your library lives in the cloud and plays on your Mac.

Does Oort work with more than one cloud at a time?

Yes. Oort can connect Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud Drive, and local folders at the same time and merge them into one browsable, searchable library — while every file stays exactly where it is.

Does streaming from the cloud use a lot of data or storage?

Oort streams tracks on demand and caches what you play, so you're not forced to download your entire library to disk. You get cloud-sized storage with local-app speed.

Is there a subscription for the cloud player?

No. Oort is a one-time $9.99 purchase with a 14-day free trial. There's no monthly fee, no ads, and no account to create beyond signing in to your own cloud.
