Scrobblie vs AlgoRythm for Apple Music

Scrobblie is the Last.fm scrobbler you'll actually leave open. The main screen pairs your album art with a color-reactive background that shifts with every track, a live scrobble progress bar, and long titles that scroll on their own. It's the screen this app was built around. It also works everywhere you listen. Songs from your music library scrobble themselves, and a single tap captures songs playing around you. Built for iPhone and iPad, Scrobblie lives in the parts of iOS you already use: Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, Control Center, Siri, and Shortcuts. THE MAIN SCREEN Album art, slow color-reactive motion keyed to the song, and a live progress bar that fills as the scrobble counts down. The Now Playing view is the heart of the app. Leave it open on your desk, your nightstand, or mounted on your dashboard. AUTOMATIC SCROBBLING Play a song in your music library and your Last.fm profile shows a live "Now Playing" indicator right away, so your friends see what you're on. When the track finishes, it scrobbles automatically. No taps. Even music you uploaded to your own Apple Music library scrobbles, not just catalog songs. It keeps up while you're doing other things, whether the app is open or not, even across devices. SCROBBLE TIMING Choose duration-based scrobbling or 25%, 50%, 75%, or 95% of a song. METADATA CLEANUP Clean up song and album titles and artist credits before scrobbling. Optional, with your original music metadata unchanged. MICROPHONE MODE Hear a song at a café, on a record player, or across the room? Tap once. Scrobblie listens, identifies the track, sets your Last.fm "Now Playing", and sends the scrobble to your profile. Scrobblie Pro turns this into a continuous feed so you can keep discovering without another tap. LOVED TRACKS, ON BOTH SIDES Heart a track in Scrobblie and it loves on Last.fm and in your music library at the same time. Unlove does the same. Your heart goes everywhere it belongs, without extra steps. LIVE ACTIVITIES Every scrobble shows up on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with a live progress bar, so you can see the exact moment a track counts. A Force Scrobble button lets you push it through yourself when you want to. CONTROL CENTER, SIRI, AND SHORTCUTS Identify a song from Control Center, or turn continuous listening on and off from a Pro toggle. Say "Scrobble with Scrobblie" or drop Scrobblie actions into any Shortcut. STATS WORTH OPENING Daily and weekly breakdowns. Top artists, albums, and tracks across any time range. Full artist and album pages. Your complete loved tracks library. Your Last.fm history, finally browsable on your phone. QUEUE CONTROL Pending, failed, and skipped scrobbles live in one place. Retry, remove, or let them through. Nothing reaches your profile unless you allow it. ICLOUD SYNC Turn on iCloud Sync in History settings and your scrobble history syncs across iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud account. No extra signup. BUILT FOR EVERYONE Adaptive layouts for iPhone and iPad. Full Dynamic Type support. Full VoiceOver support. PERFECT FOR Vinyl collectors. Radio listeners. Music library completionists. People who read their Last.fm stats. Anyone whose listening doesn't fit in one app. SCROBBLIE PRO The free tier includes 175 scrobbles per week, enough for casual listeners.

AlgoRythm is a high-precision dashboard for Apple Music listeners who want to understand and shape their own taste. It turns your play counts, ratings, and listening history into clear music stats, shareable album grids, and personalized Liner Notes. No passive feed. Just your data, explained. NEW RELEASES FROM YOUR ARTISTS Never miss a drop again. AlgoRythm watches your library for new albums and singles: your most-played artists are checked daily, and a weekly sweep covers the rest. Announced titles appear under Coming soon, up to a year ahead, with a link to Apple Music to pre-add them. Split into Albums and Singles, sortable by Rotation Weight, with Love and Suggest Less ratings and swipe-to-hide built in. A coverage indicator shows exactly how much of your library has been scanned. SHUFFLE ON YOUR TERMS Meet Smart Shuffle: queues built from your actual listening history. Pick a recipe like Rotation, weighted by your Rotation Weight, Rediscovery for tracks you have not played in weeks, or Deep Cuts for the ones you barely touched. Album Shuffle rebuilds the ritual of playing records front to back, in disc order. Set a window, choose a duration from 30 minutes to 8 hours, and optionally blend in your Last.fm scrobbles. Play instantly or save as an Apple Music playlist; a saved queue restores instantly when you come back, and generation shows you which stage it is in. Pro members can filter by genre. PLAY WITHOUT LEAVING Hit Play on any album or artist page, tap a tracklist row to start there, or shuffle an artist's top songs. A Now Playing bar docks above your tabs while music plays, and opens a full-screen player with seekable progress, transport controls, and quick Love or Suggest Less tuning for the song, album, and artist currently on. TUNE YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS Rate tracks, albums, and artists with Love or Suggest Less to send stronger signals to Apple Music. Surface the gems, skip the filler, and make your personalized mixes feel more like you. PROTECT YOUR TASTE Mark artists or albums as disliked to keep them out of your grids and personal reports. Long-press any shuffle row for Never Suggest Again and block songs, albums, or artists from your queues without touching your Apple Music ratings. Great for keeping one-off listening, like children's music, from shaping your overall picture. THE LINER NOTES Dive into your listening stats. Track Rotation Weight, Skip Velocity, and deep-dive artist and album insights to see who dominates your airtime. Generate beautiful, shareable Liner Notes and high-fidelity album grids from your history, now with an optional concrete date range. CURATE YOUR DISCOVERY Go Crate Digging or look Behind the Counter for daily music recommendations pulled from your deepest listening habits. Choose how often they appear: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or a single growing Master playlist. SYNC YOUR HISTORY Connect your Apple Music library, and optionally link your Last.fm scrobble history to restore years of taste the native app has forgotten. COUNTING TOWARD DECEMBER In the background, AlgoRythm now measures your real per-period play counts for In Rotation, a year-end recap landing in a future update. Everything stays on your device, so when the recap arrives it is built on what you actually played. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your Apple Music data is processed on your device. No ads, no analytics, no required account. One single purchase unlocks AlgoRythm Pro for life.
