Introducing Synergy
The new Synergy product page is now online at https:/wincent.dev/products/synergy. The page you are currently viewing will no longer be updated and is being kept online for historical interest only.
Synergy is a tiny Cocoa application for Mac OS X that puts three buttons to control iTunes in your menubar: previous track, next track, and play/pause; as well as providing you with visual feedback about the currently playing tune. Synergy can even automatically download and display the cover of the currently playing album. The Synergy controls, together with the ability to control iTunes via system-wide hot Key combinations, mean that Synergy provides the fastest way of skipping between songs when using the keyboard or the mouse; all this without having to switch to iTunes, or access its Dock menu. Synergy licenses start at only 5€ (Euros).
Synergy won't take up precious space in your Dock as it appears only in the menubar. It provides you with ultimate control over iTunes even while you're working in other applications. The Synergy global menu provides you with quick access to recently played tracks and playlists, and the floater displays album covers and provides information whenever a new track starts playing.
Version 3.4 is the current stable release. Version 4.0.1a is a total rewrite (for Snow Leopard). Take the online tour to see some of Synergy's features.
