Internet radio,
without the noise.
Idle Dial is a focused radio player for iPhone and Mac. Find a station, press play, and let everything else fade away.
A quieter way to listen
No accounts. No advertising. No algorithm deciding what comes next. Just your stations, your favourites, and a dial that knows when to stay out of the way.
The essentials
Everything radio needs.
Nothing it doesn’t.
Make it yours
Save, reorder, and manage favourites, or add a station manually when you already know its stream.
Keep listening
Background playback, live metadata, CarPlay support, and a compact Mac menu bar experience keep the radio out of your way.
Currently testing
Being tuned with real listeners.
Idle Dial is in active beta testing across iPhone, Mac, and CarPlay. Feedback is helping refine station discovery, playback reliability, and the little details that make it feel at home on Apple devices.
The current testing group is full. If you already have the beta and need help, we would still love to hear from you.

Your listening is yours.
