TunesArt
TunesArt is a macOS music companion app that enhances Apple Music, iTunes, and Spotify with desktop artwork, lyrics, search, and playback controls.
What is TunesArt?
TunesArt is a native macOS music companion app from Jibapps that adds extra controls and display features for Apple Music, iTunes, and Spotify. It is designed for people who want quicker access to playback tools and song information without keeping the full player front and center. Common uses include showing album artwork on the desktop, viewing or editing lyrics, launching fast library searches, and using global keyboard shortcuts to control music from anywhere on the Mac.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
TunesArt is a legitimate music utility for macOS. For its main features, it may need access to control supported music apps and read music library information, which is normal for this type of companion tool. If you use lyrics, social sharing, or artist info features, some song-related data may be sent to those services as part of the feature you choose. Removing the app only affects its added controls, overlays, and shortcuts; your music files and main player apps remain separate.
Recommendation: Keep TunesArt if you use its desktop artwork, lyrics, search, or shortcut features with Apple Music, iTunes, or Spotify. If you no longer use those extras, you can remove it without affecting your core music apps beyond losing TunesArt’s companion features.
