Cratebird’s ribbon bird choosing a record from its crate

“A late-night walk. A little cinematic. Nothing too obvious.”

One way in: ask your own AI agent on Mac.

You set the direction.You choose what reaches your library.

Good music starts
in all kinds of places.

In a conversation. In an article. In a playlist someone shared. Give Cratebird a starting point, choose the songs, and make something worth playing.

Talk it through with your agentOn your Mac Turn something you read into musicOn your iPhone or iPad

Read something good.
Make it a playlist.

A critic’s favorite songs. A festival set list. An article that sends you down a rabbit hole. Share it from Safari to Cratebird on iPhone or iPad, or paste the link.

Cratebird finds song titles and artists in the page, then suggests recordings in Apple Music. You review the matches, leave out anything you don’t want, and confirm before the playlist is created.

When available, Apple’s on-device AI helps read unfamiliar song lists. The page stays on your device for that processing. No separate agent setup.

Reading a subscriber-only article? Share it while it’s open in Safari, or paste the song-list text. You can review and edit the captured text before finding songs.

A small Mac app.
A bigger conversation.

Bring the AI agent you already use. Cratebird connects it to Apple Music so you can explore your library, find recordings, and create or extend playlists in conversation.

Ask for a mood. Build on a playlist you love. Find new artists to keep it going. Your agent brings the ideas; Cratebird handles the connection to your library.

Connect your agent

Works with compatible agents that support local MCP tools, including Codex. Keep Cratebird running on your Mac. Your agent’s subscription and fees are separate.

Your music isn’t
our business.

We don’t receive, store, or look at your music activity. Cratebird has no developer-operated backend, ads, analytics, or tracking.

Saved pages and recovery history stay on your device. Web-page recognition runs locally, including optional on-device AI. Apple Music and your chosen agent process the requests you make through them.
