Platforms count differently and update at different times.
The clawtunes CLI can play music, search songs and albums, adjust volume, manage playlists and playback settings, browse the Apple Music catalog, and select AirPlay devices. Catalog search is browse-only; a song must already be in your library before it can be added to a playlist. Installation requires trusting a third-party Homebrew tap, and automation may require macOS permission.

The counting method changed in 2026-09: skills with the same name are now counted separately by author, and the full catalog is covered. Dashed lines show months before the change; they are not compared with later months, and no growth is computed across the change.
