Review
Mar 11, 2026Music Widget is a macOS dashboard widget that replicates the iTunes experience, allowing users to control music playback directly from their desktop. It supports various media apps, making it a versatile tool for managing music on macOS.
Provides a dashboard widget for media control, supporting multiple music apps.
Maturity: The project shows moderate activity, with the last update in 2022 and limited community engagement.
Community: Mentioned a few times on Hacker News, with minimal engagement and no Reddit presence.
Pros
- + Works with any media app for versatile music control
- + Auto-updates for ease of use
- + Open-source under GPL-3.0 for transparency
Cons
- - Limited updates and community activity
- - Basic UI with room for improvement
