NepTunes for Last.fm

NepTunes keeps your music within reach while you work. Whatever you play in Apple Music or Spotify shows up in your menu bar and on your desktop, and lands in your Last.fm or ListenBrainz profile. It has been doing this on the Mac for over ten years.

YOUR LISTENING ON LAST.FM AND LISTENBRAINZ
NepTunes scrobbles everything you play in Apple Music and Spotify to Last.fm, ListenBrainz or both, live radio included. If you listen offline, it keeps the songs and sends them once you're back online. You decide how much of a song you need to hear before it counts. Your scrobble count and recent plays are a click away, and you can love a song on Last.fm or look up similar artists without opening a browser.

MUSIC CONTROLS WITHOUT SWITCHING APPS
Click the NepTunes icon in the menu bar and the player opens over whatever you're doing, with the album cover, volume, shuffle and repeat, and the songs you played before this one. If both Apple Music and Spotify are open, you pick which one to control.

Or skip the click. Set keyboard shortcuts for play, pause, skip, volume and mute that work in every app, and a small confirmation on screen tells you it worked.

THE SONG ON YOUR DESKTOP
The free Now Playing widget puts the cover, the title and play buttons on your desktop, in three sizes.

NEPTUNES PRO
A yearly subscription for when you want more of your music on screen.

Desktop widgets. Vinyl turns the album cover into a spinning record, CD Case shows the album in a jewel case that opens when you pause, and V3 brings back the classic NepTunes cover. There are twelve player widgets, from a thin strip along the edge of the screen to a full player with volume and ratings. Five more show how you listen: your Last.fm charts, a live feed of your scrobbles, the hours of the day you listen most, your top genres, and seven weeks of listening at a glance. Keep them behind your windows or on top, only while music plays or all day. New ones install with one click from the gallery at neptunesmac.app, and if you know HTML and JavaScript, you can make your own.

On the lock screen. See what's playing under the clock on your Mac's lock screen, and play, pause, skip or change the volume without unlocking. Needs the free NepTunes Lock Screen add-on from neptunesmac.app.

The song in your menu bar. The artist and title of what's playing stay in the menu bar next to play and skip buttons, so you always know what's on. If the name is too long to fit, it scrolls.

The cover in your Dock. The Dock icon turns into the cover of the current song. Click it to open your player.

Animated covers. Albums with moving artwork in Apple Music move in NepTunes too.

Love, dislike and rate as you listen. A shortcut, the menu bar or a widget sets the heart or the stars in Apple Music, and a love can go to Last.fm as well. Other shortcuts add the song to your library or switch between Apple Music and Spotify.

Share what you're listening to. Copy a link and send it to anyone. It opens the song in Apple Music, Spotify or Deezer, whichever they use, and shows the cover in Messages.

More from Last.fm. Find songs like the one playing, and see your most played albums as a wall of covers.

Tidier scrobbles. NepTunes takes tags like (Live) or [Demo] out of song titles and keeps a whole album under one artist, so your Last.fm library stays clean.

If you used NepTunes before version 4, love, ratings, sharing and tidier scrobbles stay free for you.

No analytics, no tracking, and your listening history stays on your Mac.

Requires macOS 26.
