Native Spotify and Apple Music control for the notch, menu bar, and a mini player — built to feel like part of macOS.
Our take
A single-developer polish play: reviewers on the site specifically call out how native it feels, and Spotify users get transport control at the notch without the extra setup Spotify’s own API sometimes requires.

Tuneful — questions people ask
Is Tuneful free?
Tuneful is a paid app; the developer lists current pricing on their site.
Can I run Tuneful together with another notch app?
No — Tuneful draws at the notch, so it takes the place of any other notch app (hubs included). Apps that live in the menu bar or on screen stack alongside it fine.
Where can I download Tuneful?
Tuneful is available via Direct.
