About:
Reflex is a lightweight utility that intelligently routes media key presses to the active music application. It automatically detects whether Spotify or Apple Music is running and forwards play, pause, skip, and previous commands accordingly. This eliminates the need to manually switch focus between apps to control your music playback.
Key Features:
  • Automatic detection of Spotify and Apple Music
  • Seamless forwarding of media key commands
  • Minimal background resource usage
  • No configuration required for basic operation
Use Cases:
  • Controlling Spotify and Apple Music with the same media keys
  • Using external keyboards with Mac media keys
  • Simplifying media control in multi-app environments
Alternatives:
  • BetterTouchTool – More comprehensive but heavier; Reflex is dedicated solely to media key forwarding
  • Karabiner-Elements – Complex keyboard remapping tool; Reflex is simpler and purpose-built for media keys
