This is currently being rectified in the rewrite of osu! (called osu!lazer), which is an open-source project anyone can contribute to.

McOsu was created partially out of frustration, because osu! is lacking many usability features vital to practicing effectively and efficiently. Osu! VS McOsuThe intention of this game is neither to replace peppy's client, nor to split the community. You can use McOsu without installing osu! (it is not recommended though), a guide on manual beatmap management is available in the Steam Community Guides.If you have osu! installed, then McOsu will load your beatmaps directly from the default osu! installation path, although custom paths are also possible.Customizable HP Drain + Notelock algorithms.Infinite offline profiles with pp ranking.Built-in pp counter (live stats overlay + ranking screen).Change mods and options while playing (F1 and CTRL + O).Experimental Mods (Wobble, Jigsaw, First Person, Playfield Flipping, Reverse Sliders, etc.).Scrubbing and Quicksave/load (SHIFT and F6/F7, rebindable, jump to any point in time of a beatmap).Beatmap Overrides (Approach Rate, Circle Size, Overall Difficulty, HP Drain).Unlimited Customizability (Options, Console Commands via SHIFT + F1).

If you have never played osu! before, then I do not recommend using this client (except for VR players + FPoSu players of course), as there are no gameplay tutorials in here (just google 'osu!' and play the official game which is a lot more polished and has online rankings including multiplayer etc.).

It is primarily a practice client for getting better at the 'official' game by having tools at your disposal that osu! does not provide for some reason, it's not supposed to be a perfect copy of osu!, or otherwise profit with a free game from a free game (what). About This Game McOsu is developed separately from and has no direct affiliation with osu! or ppy Pty Ltd.Ī free open-source circle-clicking rhythm game client for osu! beatmaps, with the main focus on making practicing easier and customizing gameplay.
