AF Media Bar is a media controller for the Windows 10/11 taskbar. It reads what's playing from the system media session and makes media information, lyrics, playback controls, and device switching easier to see and use on your desktop.

Download and run

Open GitHub Releases and choose a package:

1. Installer (recommended): Download AFMediaBar-Setup-vX.Y.Z-win-x64.exe and follow the installation wizard.
2. Portable: Download AFMediaBar-vX.Y.Z-win-x64.zip, extract it to a writable folder, and run AFMediaBar.exe.

Requirements: Windows 10 1809 or later, x64, with Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime. Install the Evergreen Runtime if it is missing. Release packages include the .NET runtime.

Updating and uninstalling

• Updates: The app notifies you when a new version is available. Check for updates on the Application page. Installed builds can download and install updates in the app; portable builds require manual file replacement.
• Settings: Stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\AFMediaBar\settings.json. Open the settings folder from the Application page.
• Uninstall: Remove installed builds through Windows Installed apps or the Start menu. For portable builds, delete the program folder. To clear settings and cache, also delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\AFMediaBar manually.

Privacy and security

• No telemetry, ads, or account system. Media controls and volume operations run locally.
• Update checks and online lyric searches use the internet. Lyric searches use track and artist information; lyric sources can be disabled in Settings.
• The app runs with the current user's rights. Report security issues privately as described in SECURITY.md.
