Finally! After 3+ years of development, Longplay for Mac is shipping today. The journey from "let's try Catalyst" to "wait, stuttering playback?" to "updating the dock icon fixes it?!" was... quite something. I love the result though. My developer's commentary: adrian.schoenig.me/blog/2025/07...

Longplay for Mac 0.8.0 is available in Early Access. 🤖 Standout feature is a built-in #MCP server to control playback, create smart collections, and interact with your music library from other apps like Claude Desktop. It's the future that Apple promised at #WWDC 2024. buy.longplay.app/l/longplay

Screenshot of Longplay, a music rediscovery app for macOS, showing a new feature where the user chats with Claude to find albums they added in the last year but haven’t listened to much. Claude uses Longplay's provided tools to return those albums. The user then asks to create a smart collection, which is then displayed in Longplay.
