SmartPause

What it does

A free, open-source macOS menu bar app that sends the play/pause key to the app that is actually playing. No more Apple Music surprises.

SmartPause is a free macOS menu bar app that sends the play/pause key to the app that is actually making sound. Not to whatever your Mac remembers. You're watching YouTube. You press play/pause. The video keeps going and Apple Music opens. macOS routes media keys to its idea of "Now Playing", which is often stale and sometimes nothing at all. On every press SmartPause asks Core Audio which process is outputting sound right now, then sends the command to that app. Apple Music stays closed. If nothing is playing, the last thing you paused resumes. A single press switches: the playing app pauses, the other one starts, and it moves to the top. A double press plays or pauses the selected app.…from smartpause.yasinozmeen.me
