Description:

Music Widget for macOS
A mini player remote for Apple Music.
A take on the classic iTunes widget.

Basic Controls
Music Widget has the same playback and volume controls as the original iTunes Dashboard Widget. It also has the same keyboard shortcuts as the Music app so there is nothing new for you to learn!

Playlists
Just like the original, Music Widget performs a beautiful and fluid flip animation to reveal the Playlist chooser. Simply click the Inspector button to get started.


Dark Mode
Although the original iTunes widget did not have a dark mode appearance in 2005, Music Widget has an original Dark Mode design to adapt to modern macOS.


Live Streaming UI
If you love streaming live audio like Apple Music One or other live stations like CNN, Music Widget displays a UI suitable for streaming audio.

Craftsmanship
Fully native AppKit app, Music Widget is both lightweight and snappy. Practically the entire UI is drawn in code using Core Graphics & Core Animation0 in order to achieve crisp details for both Retina & non-Retina displays.

Scrolling Marquee
The 'Now Playing' display performs beautiful animations as it vertically scrolls through the current track information. If the track title, artist name, or album is too long to display, it will perform a scrolling marquee animation before animating away to the next item.

Playlist "Flip"
Just like the original, Music Widget performs a fluid flip animation to reveal the backside where you can pick a different playlist to play. Just click the 'Inspector' button to get started!
