Marcos Tanaka’s “MusicHarbor” Music Release Tracking App for iOS & Mac

Have you ever gotten the urge to listen to a favorite music artist of yours, gone into Apple Music or Spotify to type in their name, and suddenly discovered they’d released a new album or two a while back that you’d never even heard of? “How did I not know about this??”

Either way, once added in the app, you’ll be notified of new releases, upcoming ones, and even future concert dates/locations (although, for obvious reasons, that particular feature isn’t likely to be useful for most of us right now).

Anyway, go download MusicHarbor and check it out for yourself. It’s totally free so there’s no harm in trying it, unless you choose to opt for one of its in-app purchases:
