▶ Now Playing

Show the current track and artist directly in the Raycast menu bar.

Menu Bar Options

You can configure the menu bar item to show:

• Track + artist
• Track only
• Artist only
• Track + album
• Artwork only
• A custom template using {track}, {artist}, and {album}

Track Only, Artist Only, and Track + Album are text-only modes. Artwork Only hides text entirely. Album artwork can optionally appear alongside the title in Track + Artist and Custom Template modes.

Now Playing uses media-control to detect the currently playing track.
