Mac Media Key Forwarder

The application runs in the macOS menu bar and intercepts media‑key events, forwarding them directly to iTunes or Spotify. Users can select a preferred application to control, or rely on the default behavior that targets the currently running media player. The program operates by listening to the system event tap for key events, and it can be paused from the menu if this causes conflicts with other software.

It is intended for macOS users who want consistent media‑key handling for iTunes and Spotify, especially when other applications interfere with the default key routing. The software includes options to hide the menu icon, supports multiple languages, and provides installation guidance for macOS Mojave and later, requiring Accessibility and Automation permissions.

The tool is distributed as a signed macOS bundle, compatible with versions from macOS 10.14 onward, and receives updates that address launch freezes, compatibility with newer macOS releases, and localization improvements.
