Version 4 · now in beta

Meet NepTunes 4.

A rebuilt NepTunes: live widgets on your desktop, a redesigned menu bar player, global hotkeys, and Last.fm scrobbling. For Apple Music and Spotify.

A better menu bar for your music.

From Last.fm and hotkeys to desktop widgets — here's what NepTunes does.

Built for Last.fm

More than scrobbling. NepTunes ties your listening to your Last.fm profile — and brings your stats back into the menu bar.

  • Automatic scrobbling for Apple Music & Spotify
  • Love & unlove tracks, synced with Apple Music
  • Your profile: play count, loved tracks, top albums
  • Threshold you control, with an offline queue

Now playing, right in the menu bar

The current track and everything you've heard recently, a click away — with album artwork throughout.

  • Now playing with full artwork
  • Scrollable recently-played history
  • Play, pause and skip inline
  • Love the current track in one click

Your track, always in the menu bar

A dedicated Now Playing item keeps the current track right in your menu bar, formatted exactly how you like. A Pro feature.

  • Custom text format, your tokens
  • Scrolling text for long titles
  • Inline play, pause and skip
  • A love button, right there

Plays well with your music.

NepTunes follows Apple Music and Spotify, and scrobbles every track to Last.fm.

Glanceable feedback, then gone.

Every hotkey answers with a tasteful on-screen HUD that fades away on its own — so you always know what happened without breaking focus.

  • Volume and playback changes
  • Love, dislike and star ratings
  • Added to library and player switch
  • System notification when the track changes

Control it all with hotkeys

System-wide keyboard shortcuts that work without leaving what you're doing. Pick your own combinations for any of them.

  • Play / pause, next and previous
  • Volume up, down and mute
  • Love or dislike the current track
  • Show the current track or bring your player forward

Album artwork in your Dock

Swap the NepTunes dock icon for the current album's artwork, and click it to jump straight back to your player. A Pro feature.

  • Live album artwork as the dock icon
  • Click to bring your player forward
  • Falls back to the app icon when nothing's playing

Put your music on your desktop.

Widgets are live, always-on panels built from HTML, CSS and JavaScript. A Pro feature.

  • 13 ready-made widgets to install
  • Build your own with a simple JavaScript API
  • Live track data, artwork and playback control
  • A native macOS widget, too

There's more with Pro.

A Pro subscription adds the customization power users want, right inside the app.

  • Desktop web widgets
  • Album artwork in the Dock
  • A "Now Playing" menu-bar item
  • Switch-player & add-to-library hotkeys
  • Animated album covers
  • Top Albums grid
