We tried to keep it as lean as possible. MacOS itself adds quite a bit, and then there are libraries for format decoding, audio streaming, VST support, etc. Could it be smaller? Probably – but not by an order of magnitude.

26Mb sounds perfectly reasonable. Electron apps are usually 100+, and we live in a world where apps download gigabytes of LLMs in the background to do very basic stuff.

Wait, it doesn't do that does it?
