What is ray.fm?
ray.fm is a native Mac music and audio app for streaming curated radio stations in a simple retro-inspired player. It is published through Glaze and is designed for people who want lightweight background listening without opening a browser tab or a full music service. The app focuses on a small set of handpicked stations rather than a large searchable catalog, which makes it a good fit for casual listening while working or relaxing. Its cassette-style interface gives the player a distinctive nostalgic look, and the app also supports keeping the player window on top of other apps so playback controls stay visible. Users will typically use ray.fm as a compact desktop radio player for ambient music, discovery, or low-effort background audio on macOS.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This app’s activity is consistent with a normal internet radio player: it needs network access to load and stream stations, and it may keep playing audio while you work in other apps. That behavior is expected for its purpose. As with any streaming app, use normal caution on shared or metered networks and close it when you do not want background audio or network use.
Recommendation: Keep ray.fm if you use it for background music or curated radio listening on your Mac. If you no longer use it, removing it should mainly affect this app’s saved data and access to its built-in stations.
