Description

GhostDeck plays your own music files in the classic late-'90s deck layout, with a ten-band EQ and a playlist that snap together. Behind your album, a jewel case turns over one of five low-poly worlds that move to the music. Native Metal, offline, no tracking.

Could you build this?

Partial While basic audio playback is simple, building custom 3D low-poly scenes that react to music in real-time using native Apple Metal requires specialized computer graphics knowledge.

What it would actually take: The app needs a native macOS Swift backend paired with custom Apple Metal shaders and a 3D rendering pipeline for the low-poly models. The difficult parts include writing custom Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) audio spectrum analysis algorithms tied to low-latency frame rendering and custom snap-together window management UI.
