Why Sucrose exists
Apple Music is great at playing music. But it's missing the things that make listening personal — tracking what you listen to, sharing it with friends, and making the experience truly yours.
What Apple Music doesn't do
Last.fm Scrobbling
Apple Music doesn't scrobble. Sucrose does — automatically, with loop detection and configurable thresholds. Your listening history, tracked properly, for free.
Lyric Share Cards
Grab any lyrics and turn them into beautiful shareable images. Apple Music lets you see lyrics — Sucrose lets you share them as art.
Lyrics Translation
Listening to something in Japanese, Korean, or Spanish? Translate lyrics on the fly. Apple Music shows you the words — Sucrose helps you understand them.
Discord Rich Presence
Show what you're listening to on Discord with album art, progress, and track info. Because your friends should know your taste.
macOSLast.fm Friends
See what your friends are playing right now. Apple Music is solitary — Sucrose makes listening social through Last.fm's friend network.
Real Listening Stats
Apple gives you Replay once a year. Sucrose gives you detailed stats anytime — top artists, albums, tracks, trends, and play counts powered by Last.fm.
Deep Theming
Pick any color and the entire app transforms — perceptual OKLCH color science, adaptive artwork extraction, and alternate app icons. Way beyond Apple's one-look-fits-all.
Rediscover Forgotten Music
Sucrose surfaces songs you haven't played in months. That album you loved and forgot about? It's still there, waiting for you.
Smart Collections
Build dynamic playlists with rules — "songs I haven't played in 6 months", "tracks added this week", "albums with 5+ plays". Apple doesn't let you do this.
Song Ratings
Remember star ratings? Apple buried them. Sucrose brings them back — rate your songs and use ratings in smart collections.
Everything Else
Plus all the essentials you'd expect.
your music, sweetened. ✦
