A round of Longplay updates just dropped: 2.4.4 for iOS and 1.0.4 for macOS. On quality-of-life improvement on iOS is that Longplay will now stick around longer when playback is paused and the app is in the background. Many more tweaks, fixes and polish. See longplay.rocks/changelog

Finally! After 3+ years of development, Longplay for Mac is shipping today. The journey from "let's try Catalyst" to "wait, stuttering playback?" to "updating the dock icon fixes it?!" was... quite something. I love the result though. My developer's commentary: adrian.schoenig.me/blog/2025/07...
