Let Claude play your music. Download, drag, double-click. That's the install.
One request. A real playlist, playing, with the explicit versions left out.
⬇ Download for Apple Silicon · ⬇ Download for Intel Not sure which? Apple menu → About This Mac. "Apple M1/M2/M3…" is Apple Silicon. notarized by Apple · no terminal · no developer account · all downloads & checksums
Ask for music in plain English
"Build my kid a Hogwarts birthday playlist. Soundtracks only, nothing scary."
"I've worn out The Heist. What should I try next?"
"More like that Eric Ericson choir record, but skip the Christmas half."

Install
You need macOS 12 or later and the Music app signed in to your Apple account. Playing or adding catalog music needs macOS 14 or later.

- Download the app

The setup window then asks you three questions. You can skip any of them.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
