Albums is the player that cares as much about your music library as you do. Made by music-obsessed solo developer Adam Linder, Albums provides the best alternative to the built-in Music app for true music lovers.

MacStories readers can redeem an extra-long two-week free trial of Albums Premium.

Albums is the infinite, high-tech CD binder or vinyl crate you wish you’d had in high school. Relive the glory days of the iPod with album shuffle, and use robust tagging and filtering options to build the album collections of your dreams—you can even tag music not in your library to check out later.

Beyond playback and organization, Albums is packed with features to enrich your musical life; the Release Feed keeps track of new and upcoming music from artists and record labels in your library; the app tracks your play history and generates regular listening reports; and the Insights tab offers dozens of personalized collections to help you experience your library in a new way.

Albums is deeply integrated with iOS system features, including comprehensive Shortcuts support, a first-class CarPlay app, and interactive widgets. It is available for iOS and iPadOS, with a macOS app on the horizon. Coming up on six years of iterative improvement on the App Store, the app is the best it’s ever been—and only getting better.

When you’re ready to level up your music-listening experience, redeem your two-week trial of Albums Premium. If you’re looking for something a little different, you can also check out Adam’s chaotic neutral music-discovery app, Univershuffle, which shuffles all of the music on the Apple Music catalog. Seriously!

Proxyman is the native, high-performance debugging proxy that makes monitoring and analyzing your app’s network stack almost effortless. Built with Swift and Apple Silicon in mind, it runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, so every member of your team can peek under the hood without wrestling with legacy-era UIs.

Proxyman has you covered with a wide array of tools.

Proxyman’s toolkit goes far beyond simple packet capture. Breakpoints pause requests, so you can tweak headers or bodies on the fly; Map Local and Map Remote let you swap in local files or redirect traffic to staging servers; scripting, diffing, network throttling, and WebSocket support round out a workspace that replaces what was a whole folder full of utilities.

Need on-device debugging? Proxyman for iOS is a standalone app that uses a local VPN to intercept every byte on your iPhone or iPad–no Mac required. View plain-text HTTP and HTTPS payloads, set breakpoints, block calls, or share a log back to the desktop. Face ID and passcode lock keep sensitive data safe, and iPad Split View turns Proxyman into an invaluable companion while you code.

Need to capture HTTPS traffic from iOS Simulators? Proxyman covers it too. Just few click to setup your Simulators and ready to capture it.

Proxyman Capture iOS Simulators

Licensing is simple. A perpetual Standard License is just $89 and unlocks every premium feature on one device and includes the iOS app. For $99 a Personal License includes the same benefits, plus two devices. Not ready to commit? The free trial lets you pin two domains and create two rules in each tool, giving you plenty of time to see how Proxyman fits with your development setup.

Stop guessing what your app is really sending over the wire. Download the trial today, then grab Proxyman from the Mac download page or the App Store and start shipping more reliable code faster than ever.
