Hit a global hotkey, a dropdown appears under the menu bar icon, search my library or the catalog, hit return, and the music plays. It lives in the menu bar, ships updates through <a href="https://sparkle-project.org/">Sparkle</a>, and otherwise stays out of the way.</p> <p>I upgraded to macOS 27 (Golden Gate) and two things were suddenly broken: the global hotkey did nothing, and album artwork stopped showing up. What I expected to be a quick afternoon of patches turned into a genuinely interesting tour of how SwiftUI&rsquo;s menu bar support has aged. I worked through it with <a href="https://claude.ai/code">Claude Code</a>, which was especially useful here because a lot of the debugging was empirical—build, run, observe, repeat—rather than something you can reason out from the docs.</p>
