NotchMindNotchMind and Apple Music.
Apple Music in the notch: see what’s playing, skip, favorite a song and follow the lyrics, without opening the Music app.
What it does with Apple Music
- Artwork, song and artist in the collapsed notch while Music plays.
- Play, pause, skip, scrub and favorite from the open notch.
- Synced lyrics in the floating player’s largest size and on the lock screen.
- Switch the output to AirPods, a HomePod-connected display or other speakers your Mac sees.
Set it up
- Play something in Music. The notch shows it straight away.
- Grant Media Controls in Settings → General → Permissions so the buttons work.
- If macOS asks whether NotchMind may control Music, choose Allow; it’s used for the play state and the favorite button.
- To show only Apple Music, set Playback source to Apple Music in Settings → Now Playing.
Good to know
- Apple Music can take a few seconds to confirm a favorite on streamed songs; the star stays on meanwhile.
- Hide the favorite or output buttons with Hide favorite and Hide output device.
