For the play/pause key on your Mac

Rule the play key.

You hit play. macOS guesses, and the video you forgot about starts blaring. Pauseidon knows what you meant. When it can’t tell, it asks.

Press space to play the top pick, or pick one.

How it decides

Three rules. No guessing.

  • Something’s playing

    It pauses.

    Whatever is making noise stops, even if it’s a tab three windows back.

  • One obvious thing to resume

    It plays.

    Paused an album a minute ago? That’s what comes back. No picker, no fuss.

  • Genuinely unclear

    It asks.

    A Spotlight-style picker shows each option with its artwork. Press play again for the top pick.

The picker

Only when it matters.

It opens where you’re looking, glows in the colour of what’s selected, and gets out of the way. Arrow keys, a number, or a second press of play.

The picker offering five things to resume: a song in Apple Music, an album in Spotify, a podcast episode, a YouTube video in Chrome and a trailer on X in Safari
Works with

Your players and your browser.

Apple Music, Spotify and Podcasts, plus YouTube, X or anything else playing in Chrome, Brave or Safari. It only ever touches media.

Calm seas, one key.
