Now in TestFlight beta

Never miss a drop.

Apple Music's New Releases only shows you a slice of what's out. Dropwatch checks every artist in your library, every day, and puts everything in one feed.

How it works

Three steps. Then it just runs.

Connect once and Dropwatch does the watching.

01

Connect Apple Music

Dropwatch reads your library and pulls out every artist you've saved.

02

It scans, daily

Every artist gets checked against the full release catalog. Albums, singles, EPs, and upcoming drops all land in one chronological feed.

03

You listen

Tap anything in the feed and it plays right inside Dropwatch. No app switching required.

Features

Built around your library.

Streaming apps show you a curated selection of new releases. Dropwatch shows you everything from the artists you already listen to, newest first.

FAQ

Questions.

Why not just use Apple Music's New Releases?
Because it isn't complete. Streaming apps surface a curated, editorially-weighted selection of new music — plenty of releases from artists you actually save never show up there at all. Dropwatch checks every artist in your library individually, so coverage doesn't depend on how well a release is performing.
Does it need my Apple Music account?
Yes. Dropwatch reads your library to build the tracked-artist list, and plays releases through your Apple Music subscription. Spotify support isn't available today.
What counts as "heard"?
You decide. In Settings there's a listen-duration threshold — once you've played a release for that long, it gets marked heard and dims in the feed. You can also keep heard items hidden entirely.
How do I get into the beta?
Request a TestFlight invite below. Beta builds are free and include Pro features while testing runs.
Is my listening data sent anywhere?
Your library and play history stay on your device and in your Apple Music account. Dropwatch only queries release catalogs for the artists you track.
Is there an Android or web version?
Not right now. Dropwatch is an iPhone app built on Apple Music, with iPad on the list.
