NepTunes 4 is here: a new, customizable menu bar player, desktop widgets, animated covers, a new look and more. NepTunes is a native menu bar companion for Apple Music and Spotify, with a Last.fm scrobbler that has been looked after for over ten years. SCROBBLING THAT HOLDS UP NepTunes follows whatever is playing in Apple Music or Spotify and scrobbles it to Last.fm — with a threshold you set, and an offline queue that holds your listens until the connection comes back. See your scrobble, loved-track and artist counts without opening a browser. Apple Music has no Last.fm support of its own. Spotify's is arranged on Last.fm's side and quietly drops things — local files, offline listening past the last 50 tracks, anything playing while an ad finishes. NepTunes watches the player directly instead. YOUR PLAYER, IN THE MENU BAR Click the menu bar icon for full album artwork, a scrollable history of what you have been playing, and play, pause and skip inline. ONE LINK, WHATEVER THEY LISTEN ON Copy a link to a track or an album and send it to anyone. It opens in Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer or Amazon Music — matched on the recording wherever possible, so it is the version you heard — and it shows the artwork when you paste it into Messages. A WIDGET ON YOUR DESKTOP The standard kind of macOS widget: add it from Notification Center and it sits on your desktop with the current track and its artwork, in small, medium or large. It works whether you listen in Apple Music or Spotify. HOTKEYS FROM ANY APP Play and pause, skip, change the volume, or bring your player to the front — from any app, without switching windows. Most changes get a quick on-screen confirmation that fades away. NEPTUNES PRO A subscription adds, right inside the app: • Live widgets on your wallpaper — animated, interactive covers and visualizers, built on an open JavaScript API, so you can write your own • Animated album covers — Apple Music motion artwork in the player • Top albums grid — your Last.fm favorites, ranked • Similar tracks — Last.fm's recommendations for whatever is playing • Album art in the Dock • "Now Playing" in the menu bar — your track, your format, with inline controls • Pro hotkeys — switch player, add to library PRIVACY No analytics and no tracking. The only account involved is the Last.fm one you choose to connect. Artwork and share links are matched against public music catalogs, and nothing about your listening is sent to us or stored. Requires macOS 26. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://neptunesmac.app/privacy

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

4.0.2 fixes scrobbling at a 100% threshold, and a hang at launch. • With "Scrobble after playing" at 100%, nothing scrobbled at all. It now scrobbles just before the track ends. • NepTunes no longer scrobbles a track it only caught part of. • The app could hang on launch, with no window, while macOS sat on an Automation permission check. That check now runs in the background. • When the Dock icon failed to draw, the tile showed the app icon for the rest of the track. It now retries on the next update. • Diagnostics collection is now off by default, and you choose whether to turn it on. In TestFlight builds it stays on. Everything below arrived with NepTunes 4. NepTunes 4 is a rebuild. Every part of the app is new code written for modern macOS, and every screen, control and animation was redrawn. THE APP ITSELF • Rewritten player observation, so what is playing shows up faster and stays correct • Localized into 14 languages, now including Arabic and its right-to-left layout • Every icon-only control in the player, Settings and the paywall now carries a VoiceOver label THE MENU BAR PLAYER • A redesigned popover with full album artwork, a scrollable history of what you have been playing, and play, pause and skip inline • Choose what the menu bar itself shows, and rearrange it to taste A WIDGET ON YOUR DESKTOP • A native macOS widget for the desktop and Notification Center, in small, medium and large • Each placed widget is configured on its own: layout, the rows it shows, how many controls, and what a click does • Play, pause and skip from the widget itself ONE LINK, WHATEVER THEY LISTEN ON • Copy a link to a track or an album and it opens in Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer or Amazon Music, matched on the recording so it is the version you heard • Artwork appears when you paste it into Messages LAST.FM • Faster, more reliable scrobbling, with an offline queue that holds your listens until the connection comes back • A scrobble threshold you set • Your scrobble, loved-track and artist counts, without opening a browser AROUND THE SYSTEM • Rebuilt global hotkeys: play and pause, skip, volume, and bring your player to the front • On-screen confirmations for volume and playback, which fade away on their own • Track-change notifications with artwork NEPTUNES PRO • Live widgets on your wallpaper: animated, interactive covers and visualizers, built on an open JavaScript API, so you can write your own • Animated album covers: Apple Music motion artwork in the player • A top albums grid from your Last.fm history • Similar tracks for whatever is playing • Album art in the Dock • "Now Playing" in the menu bar, in your format, with inline controls • Pro hotkeys: switch player, add to library • Available as a one-time purchase as well as a subscription Requires macOS 26.
