- The page says playback controls sit beside the record, and clicking the record itself also works.
Field notes
Setup is described as opening the notarized app, adding its widget through macOS's Edit Widgets menu, then granting playback access once. The page says the widget can also appear in Control Center and that its record spins only while music plays. A Theme Gallery lets users switch between turntables and cassette decks and choose how the widget rests when no track is playing.
