Simple. Beautiful. Fast. Daft Music brings your library, radio, and playlists together in one native player for Mac and iPhone.
Daft Music 3.0 is our biggest update yet: a native Apple Music player for Mac and iPhone, now with real AI features built in.
Find and play your music instantly with Spotlight and SiriAI support. A new AI Checker flags tracks that sound machine-generated as you listen. On iPhone, album art gets real depth with 3D Artworks. On Mac, stream with AirPlay 2, shape your sound with a 10-band equalizer, and use Instrument Isolation to mute vocals, drums, bass, or anything else. 3D Artworks and Instrument Isolation both run on CoreAI, our on-device AI engine built for Apple Silicon.
And everything you already know Daft Music for is still here: Last.fm scrobbling, Spotify and Tidal playlist import and sync, worldwide radio with Shazam song identification, and a native, private-by-design interface on both platforms.
Simple. Beautiful. Fast. This is how Apple Music should feel.

Daft started out as a cool alternative to the standard Apple Music app - for my use case, a more logical approach to listening and library management without a lot of the clutter. It continues to grow and the dev adds new features while also remaining responsive to feedback. It’s clear that Daft is made by someone who considers and cares about the way we listen and wants to improve it. Daft has become my daily music app and it’s really rad that for all its charms it continues to improve. Worth checking out and — at least for me — the modest annual sub.
Better Frontend than Apple Music

I’ve been using Apple Music since it was called iTunes, and that was approximately the last era in which Apple gave it some real love and care. Daft Music brings back that level of attention to detail in the music listening experience!Honestly the only thing I’d change is improving two-way sync between libraries. But that’s minor compared to the improved search capability, responsiveness, and better quality home screen vs Apple Music.

I’ve been a longtime Apple Music user with a lot of playlists. I’ve tried a lot of other players, but no one matches Daft Music’s approach which is clean, fast, and consistent. Honestly, it’s replaced Apple Music’s default app, especially with how it handles radio so easily too.Daft Music is my go to everyday on both Mac and iOS. The developer is also really responsive. This is one subscription that I’ll never question renewing. I can’t recommend it enough!
Exemplary liquid glass design
ripa_porcorum
macOS 26 has had a pretty rocky start: the liquid glass design language is, at best, divisive, and seems like a regression for many of Apple’s built-in apps. Daft Music, though, shows how it ought to be done — for the first time, I feel like a developer has really “got it”. As a music player, Daft seems pretty good; as a piece of design, it’s awesome.
This update lets you pick up where you left off. Daft Music saves your queue on every device and brings it back after a relaunch, and you can continue playback from another device at the same second. It also brings sturdier iCloud sync and bug fixes.
