Possible ports to particular platforms (Windows, iOS)?

I have loved your work on foobar2000 components, which is why I was disappointed that they will no longer get updated. However, I discovered your Cog project, which looks like a better version of foobar2000. Now, I wish you could port this Cog project to Windows and iOS.

I would love to try this Cog music player for myself. And an iOS version would be the perfect companion for the app, similar to foobar2000's mobile version, except much less limited.

The software was originally developed exclusively for mac, so I think it will take time to specialize it for touch devices and create a UI that looks like it in the first place, but I think there is demand.

Certainly, modizar exists in the appstore as an iPhone application that can play chiptune, but as an update pace, I don't know when it will be rejected from a reasonable point of view as the UI design is fatally old, and as a way of saying it It's strange, but I think you can create value that can exist as a successor version of the same app

On the other hand, porting to windows and android seems difficult due to the specifications. Currently, an application called "droidsound-e" has become a representative application for android, and (although the pace of this application is doubtful considering the pace), windows must be remade in a different language in the first place. It has to be (although the problem is that there is a lack of such software here too), but in short, I think there will be problems of demand and feasibility.
