I am the developer. NepTunes has been on the Mac App Store since 2015 and version 4 is a full rewrite, so I would rather have it broken by testers than by reviewers.

What it does

Apple Music still has no built-in Last.fm scrobbling. NepTunes adds it, for Apple Music and for Spotify, and builds the rest of a player around it:

• A menu bar item with artwork, playback control and your recent tracks
• Global hotkeys for playback and volume, with on-screen HUDs
• A Now Playing widget for Notification Center
• Share links: copy one link for whatever is playing and it opens in Apple Music,
• Spotify or Deezer, whichever one the person you sent it to actually uses
• Desktop widgets that are plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript bundles running against a
• documented API, so you can install someone else's or write your own

Everything in that list is free except the desktop widgets, which are part of an optional Pro subscription along with a few customisation extras.

Requirements

macOS 26 or later. It reads what Apple Music or Spotify are playing, so you need at least one of them installed.

What would help most:

• Scrobbling accuracy, especially around pausing, seeking, and switching between the two players in one session
• Whether the menu bar item and the hotkeys survive sleep, display changes and long uptime
• Anything in the 14 shipping languages that reads wrong to a native speaker

I read everything here, so post bugs in the comments if you would rather not use the TestFlight feedback form.
