For the play/pause key on your Mac
Rule the play key.
You hit play. macOS guesses, and the video you forgot about starts blaring. Pauseidon knows what you meant. When it can’t tell, it asks.
UP NEXT
The video you forgot about
The album you meant
Press space to play the top pick, or pick one.
How it decides
Three rules. No guessing.
- Something’s playing
It pauses.
Whatever is making noise stops, even if it’s a tab three windows back.
- One obvious thing to resume
It plays.
Paused an album a minute ago? That’s what comes back. No picker, no fuss.
- Genuinely unclear
It asks.
A Spotlight-style picker shows each option with its artwork. Press play again for the top pick.
The picker
Only when it matters.
It opens where you’re looking, glows in the colour of what’s selected, and gets out of the way. Arrow keys, a number, or a second press of play.

Works with
Apple Music and Chrome tabs.
YouTube, X, or anything else playing in Chrome, plus your Music library. It only ever touches media.
