You can toggle the apps functionality via the menu bar icon with a simple left click. ## Installation ### Direct Download [noTunes-3.5.zip](https://github.com/tombonez/noTunes/releases/download/v3.5/noTunes-3.5.zip) ### Homebrew ```bash brew install --cask notunes ``` ## Usage ### Set noTunes to launch at startup #### Ventura and later: 1.
