Requirements

Choose your sources

Optional setup selects the installed players or speaker types you use, plus widget and startup preferences. You can skip setup and replay it from Settings → General. Use Sources to reorder apps and speakers or review a connection problem, and Keyboard to customize playback controls.

Before you install

Music.app, Spotify, VOX, Doppler, and VLC need Automation permission. Experimental Qobuz playback controls need Accessibility access. See supported music apps and setup.

Playstate needs local-network access to discover supported HomePod and Sonos speakers.

How the trial works

The 1-day trial starts the first time Playstate connects to your HomePod or Sonos speaker or you use a playback or volume control, not when you download or install it. No card is required.

After the trial, Playstate still shows what’s playing, including artwork and recently played songs. Playback controls, speaker volume, keyboard shortcuts, and widget customization need a one-time license. There are no unsolicited reminders.
