MusicFollow

MusicFollow keeps track of the artists you love and lets you know as soon as they release an album, EP, or single. Designed first and foremost for VoiceOver, the app works on iPhone and Mac. YOUR LIBRARY, ALL AT ONCE MusicFollow finds the artists in your Apple Music library, even if you have thousands of them. They’re identified from your albums, which keeps two artists with the same name from being mixed up. You can also follow the guest artists featured on collaborations, then sort your artists by name or by recently added. “Check My Artists” points out an artist with the same name that you’re following by mistake, or an artist who’s missing, and never changes anything without your approval. Artists you add to your library later can be followed automatically or suggested to you. NEW AND UPCOMING RELEASES Your artists’ latest releases are sorted by date, and pre-orders have a tab of their own. You can filter by type (album, EP, or single) or by genre, hide explicit releases or those you’ve already read, and search for a title or an artist. Releases from your favorite artists stay visible whatever filters you use, and a collaboration appears under each of the artists you follow. A single from an upcoming album shows that album’s name and release date, and the album’s page lists the singles already released. Just like a message in Mail, each release is either read or unread. It can be marked as read automatically when you open it, when VoiceOver reaches it, after a short delay, or when you add it to your library. LISTEN AND ADD Listen to an album’s previews back to back, play it in Music, or open it in Music. You can also add it to your library or to a playlist. NOTIFICATIONS MusicFollow notifies you when an artist you follow puts out something new, and on release day it reminds you about the albums you’ve been waiting for, at the time of your choice. You can set notifications separately for each artist. DESIGNED FOR VOICEOVER After every action, VoiceOver stays where you were instead of jumping back to the top of the list. Each release is spoken as a single, clear sentence, with the information and order you choose. Its actions are grouped in the rotor, and the Albums, EP, Singles, and Unread rotors move through the entire list. Text adapts to the largest type sizes. On Mac, you can also do everything from the keyboard, using the menu bar. SIRI AND SHORTCUTS Say “What are the new releases in MusicFollow” to hear your latest unread releases, or “Refresh MusicFollow” to check for new ones. ON IPHONE AND MAC Your artists, read releases, and settings stay in sync through iCloud. On Mac, MusicFollow keeps checking for releases while its window is closed, and it can appear in the menu bar. YOUR PRIVACY There are no ads or analytics, and no account to create. Your data stays on your devices and in your iCloud. Access to Apple Music is required. Previews are available to everyone. On iPhone, playing an album in Music requires an Apple Music subscription. Adding to your library and to playlists requires a synced library (Apple Music or iTunes Match).
