Deno + JavaScript for Automation (JXA) Discord Rich Presence Client for the macOS Apple Music app (Catalina and later) and legacy iTunes.
Works with local tracks and Apple Music streaming service.
- Can start in background at login
- No status bar icon clutter
- Small and (quite) easy to understand script
- Presence is only enabled when actually playing something
- Apple Music matching (#5)
- MusicBrainz artwork fallback (#66)
Follow one of the two sections below to download the script and enable the macOS launch agent that will start it at login.
After installing Homebrew, execute the following commands:
brew tap nextfire/tap
brew install apple-music-discord-rpc
brew services restart apple-music-discord-rpc
These commands
- add this tap to Homebrew,
- install its
apple-music-discord-rpcformula (and Deno), - enable the launch agent and start it immediately.
The music-rpc.ts executable is now also in PATH.
brew services stop apple-music-discord-rpc
brew remove apple-music-discord-rpc
brew untap nextfire/tap
Install Deno (v2+), clone the repository and execute install.sh:
git clone https://github.com/NextFire/apple-music-discord-rpc.git
cd apple-music-discord-rpc/
./scripts/install.sh
It will copy the launch agent into ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ and edit it accordingly.
cd apple-music-discord-rpc/
./scripts/uninstall.sh
cd ../
rm -rf apple-music-discord-rpc/
