Music
Local Apple appsPlay, skip, and cue up what you want by voice.
Ask Halo to play, pause, skip a track, or tell you what's on, and it controls Apple Music or Spotify right on your Mac. Say what you want to hear and it starts it: a playlist, an album, an artist, or a whole genre.
There's nothing to set up. The first time you ask, macOS asks your permission to control the Music app, and Halo never needs an account or a key. Playing something specific searches your Apple Music library; Spotify can be paused and skipped, but only Apple Music can be searched by name.
Capabilities
What Halo does with it
- Plays, pauses, and skips in Apple Music or Spotify, by voice or chat
- Starts a specific playlist, album, artist, or genre from your Apple Music library
- Tells you what's playing right now
How it connects
Built into your Mac.
- 01
Nothing to sign in to
Halo works with Music through the same built-in macOS capabilities Apple's own apps use. There's no account to connect and no key to store.
- 02
macOS asks first
The first time Halo needs access, macOS shows its own permission prompt. You decide, and you can revoke it any time in System Settings.
- 03
Nothing leaves your Mac
Reading, writing, and understanding all happen on your device. There is no server involved, not even ours.
What stays private
Halo controls Music through macOS's own automation, on your Mac, after you allow it the first time. There's no account, no key, and nothing about what you play leaves your machine.
