VoiceOver-first music tracker: “MusicFollow” launches in public beta for Apple Music fans

On October 31, a new app called MusicFollow entered public beta for iPhone and Mac users. It’s a dedicated “new release tracker” for Apple Music: the app watches the artists in your Apple Music library and alerts you whenever they drop a new single, EP or album. The developer is a long‑time VoiceOver user and built MusicFollow around a single rule: VoiceOver, Apple’s screen reader, must never lose its place after any action. This design goal targets a long‑standing frustration with other release‑tracking apps, where marking one album as played can throw focus back to the top of a long list.

MusicFollow can import your full Apple Music library in one go and automatically identify every artist, even if you follow thousands. When two artists share the same name, the app uses the songs in your own library to disambiguate them. On the Mac, the interface is fully keyboard‑driven, including a dedicated Release menu with convenient shortcuts. The beta requires iOS 26 or later on iPhone and Apple silicon with macOS 26 or later on the Mac, and currently ships with English and French localizations. Distribution is handled via Apple’s TestFlight program while the developer collects feedback on library importing, VoiceOver behavior, notifications and syncing between devices. Although designed first for blind and low‑vision users, MusicFollow also appeals to heavy Apple Music listeners who simply want a focused, reliable way to catch every new release from their favorite artists.
