Description

A convenient iTunes management tool for Mac users. Instead of using the iTunes interface or Dock, the app quietly sits at the screen border, allowing you to control iTunes with a simple mouse-click. It remains visible on top of other windows and automatically starts with iTunes. It displays information about the currently playing track and offers features like track navigation, volume control, playlist selection, and the ability to choose the app's location on the screen. Additionally, the interface is updated when changing desktop wallpaper.

Cockatoo 2.0 for Mac was available to download from the developer's website when we last checked. We cannot confirm if there is a free download of this app available. We recommend checking the downloaded files with any free antivirus. The actual developer of this Mac application is Nikolai Nagornyi. The program lies within Audio & Video Tools, more precisely Music Production.

From the developer:

Cockatoo is perfect if you're one of those who uses iTunes to listen to music. It provides a much simpler way of managing it, leaving you to do other things on your Mac. Sure, you can control iTunes from its interface and also from the Dock (right-click the iTunes icon), but this just isn't suitable for all users.
Cockatoo quietly waits for you at the left or right border of the screen without occupying any space.
