About this widget

A jewel case on your desktop, wearing the artwork of whatever is playing. Scroll over it to turn it and read the printed back; click to open the lid and find the disc inside. It turns a full lap on every track change. Choose its size, whether the hinge paper takes its colour from the sleeve, whether it drifts when idle, whether it opens when you pause, and how hard it works your GPU. The case and the disc are third-party 3D models used under CC BY 4.0: the jewel case from sodaraptor's game Hypnagogia 無限の夢 Boundless Dreams, and a CD by Regex. Both are repainted with your album before the first frame, and full credits ship inside the bundle.

NepTunes on an older Mac

NepTunes 4 needs macOS 26 or later. If your Mac runs an earlier version, the App Store can still install the last NepTunes release that works on it.

  1. Open the App Store and click your name in the bottom-left corner.
  2. Find NepTunes in your apps and click the download button.
  3. When the App Store offers the last compatible version, click Download.

This only works if you’ve downloaded NepTunes before with the same Apple Account. Apple doesn’t offer older versions to new downloads. If that’s you, get in touch.
