NowPlaying Relay is a full-featured Apple Music player that does something no other player does: it relays your currently-playing track data to any webhook endpoint in real time. PLAY YOUR MUSIC Browse your entire Apple Music library — playlists, albums, artists, and songs. Search the full Apple Music catalog. View time-synced lyrics as you listen. Manage your queue with play next, play later, and reorder. RELAY YOUR LISTENING Configure up to 5 webhook endpoints and NowPlaying Relay will send track metadata every time playback changes. Power Discord bots, streaming overlays, smart home displays, LED signs, or anything else that accepts an HTTP webhook. FULL CONTROL • Per-endpoint event filtering — choose which events trigger a relay (now playing, paused, resumed, skipped, loved, and more) • Flexible authentication — Bearer tokens, custom headers, or no auth • Automatic retry with exponential backoff on failures • Complete activity log with delivery status, response times, and error details • JSON payload preview so you know exactly what gets sent PRIVACY FIRST NowPlaying Relay has zero analytics, zero tracking, and zero accounts. No data is sent to us — ever. Webhook data goes directly from your device to your endpoints. Your music, your data, your rules. Requires an active Apple Music subscription.
