history
Project history and usage
Choragus is an independent native macOS controller for Sonos speakers, written in Swift and SwiftUI and distributed as a universal application for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
Project history
The project began under the name SonosController and was later renamed Choragus out of respect for the Sonos trademark. Version 4.0 introduced the new name and bundle identifier, requiring users of SonosController to install Choragus separately and reauthenticate music services.
The application was built from scratch as an independent Sonos controller. It is not affiliated with Sonos and communicates with speakers over local-network UPnP protocols.
Adoption history
Choragus targets Mac users who want a native controller for Sonos systems. Its author reports testing against a 16-speaker, 10-zone installation and a large local music library, while supporting Sonos favorites, playlists, local libraries, queues, presets, and selected streaming services.
How it is used
Users install Choragus in /Applications, grant local-network access, and use it to discover and control Sonos rooms, playback, queues, groups, volume, presets, and supported music services. Some services must first be configured in the official Sonos application.
The application has no Choragus account or telemetry. The README says service tokens are kept in macOS Keychain and listening history is stored locally, but it does not document filesystem paths suitable for the location fields.
Why package nerds care
Choragus is notable to package-manager users as an independently developed, notarized, universal macOS application replacing a Rosetta-dependent workflow with native Swift and SwiftUI code. It also demonstrates how a desktop client can control consumer audio hardware locally through UPnP rather than a vendor cloud API.
