Cider Overview
Cider is an open-source, third-party client for Apple Music available for Windows and macOS, offering a fast, polished alternative to Apple's official app — particularly valued by Windows users who lack a first-class native Apple Music experience. It logs you into your Apple Music account to play your library and playlists, with a clean, customizable interface, lower resource use than some official clients, lyrics, last.fm scrobbling, and theming. Because it is a community project, it focuses on a lightweight, feature-rich listening experience. It requires an Apple Music subscription to stream. It supports immersive full-screen and mini-player modes, keyboard shortcuts, and plugins for a tailored listening experience. The link on this page goes to Cider's official Cider download.
