SoundCloud is an online audio distribution system that offers you the opportunity to upload your content, or simply listen to the music shared by others. However, accessing the service through a web browser can lead to unnecessary clutter and resources usage.

Cumulus is a minimalist OS X status bar menu application that enables you to connect to your SoundCloud account and offers you the possibility to listen to your feed or playlists with minimal interaction.

Upon launch, in the Cumulus main panel you can either authorize the app to use an existing account or choose to create a new one. For your convenience, SoundCloud allows you to sign in using your Facebook or Google account. Note that you cannot access the website via Cumulus without connecting with an account.

Once that is taken care of, within the Cumulus main panel you can see the tracks in your feed, your favorites list, but also your playlist. You can start listening to a track with a simple double click.

Keep in mind that once you connected to an account, Cumulus does not allow you to switch to another. To bypass this limitation, you must delete the application, together with all associated resources files, and then install the utility again.

On top of being unobtrusive, Cumulus is also user-friendly when it comes to managing the track’s playback. Cumulus comes with support for the media keys, so you can easily pause or start the playback, or jump to the next or previous track.

Worth mentioning is that Cumulus cannot be used to manage the content associated with your SoundCloud account: you don’t have the option to create new playlists, to search for new music, or to access tracks that are not in your feed or already created playlists.

To conclude, Cumulus provides quick access to your SoundCloud account and facilitates listening to music in an unobtrusive manner, but you still need to use a web browser to deal with content management tasks.
