Mixxx is a free DJ program built by a community of volunteers, and it gives Mac users a full mixing desk without a subscription or a paid edition. You load tracks into two or four decks, match tempos, and shape the sound as you play. It reads your existing music library, analyses beats and key, and works with a long list of USB DJ controllers. Bedroom practice, house parties and small gigs are all realistic uses.

Key Features

  • Two or four decks with sync, looping, hot cues and pitch control
  • Automatic beat and musical key detection across your whole library
  • Mappings for many popular USB controllers from major hardware brands
  • Built in effects, samplers, recording and live broadcasting tools
  • Auto DJ mode that mixes a playlist when you step away

How to Download

  1. Use the download button on this page and wait for the file to arrive.
  2. You can also Download from the official site and pick the macOS build.
  3. Open the disk image and drag Mixxx into your Applications folder.

System Requirements

Mixxx runs on macOS 11 or later, with separate builds for Intel and Apple silicon Macs. The app itself is small, though your music library will need far more room. A controller is optional.

FAQs

Is Mixxx really free to use?
