MusicHarbor is like having a personal music assistant – one who knows your tastes and alerts you whenever your favourite artists and labels release new material.

What we love: How fun it is to discover new music from your favourite bands. Simply have MusicHarbor scan your Apple Music, Spotify, Last.fm or local library for artists to follow (Settings > Import Artists). Then click Latest Releases for a chronological grid of the latest albums, singles, EPs, remixes and videos – the app even uncovers collaborations and cameos – or visit Upcoming for a preview of what’s on the way.

Quick tip: Don’t want to track every artist in a huge library? Opt instead to follow the artists from a specific playlist – or manually follow artists and labels via the options menu in Artist or Record Label view. And don’t miss the app’s downloadable shortcuts (Settings > Shortcuts Gallery) for ways to quickly create lists of new releases, add them to your calendar and more.
