Song Skipper 2.0 — a new name and a new look VibeCtrl is now Song Skipper. Same app, clearer name. • Media keys, your way: turn on “Media keys always control Music” in the More tab and the Play/Pause, Next, and Previous keys control the Music app even while Safari or another app is playing. • Redesigned interface: a cleaner, fully native panel with a live status indicator, a proper rule list with search, right-click or swipe to delete, and a settings-style More tab. • Change a rule’s match mode any time from its context menu. • Remembers the tab you were on. • See the actual price before you buy; unlimited rules remain a one-time purchase. • Fixed the permission prompt showing untranslated text. • Fully localized in English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.
