About the app

Listening Post is a native macOS scrobbling app. It recognizes the music playing around your Mac through the microphone (on-device, with no audio ever leaving the machine), picks up the songs you shazam on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch through iCloud, and posts your listens to the services you choose โ€” Last.fm, ListenBrainz, Maloja, Rocksky, Bluesky, Mastodon, and local CSV/JSONL files. Your listening history lives in a local database on your Mac, not on someone elseโ€™s server.
