  • Write more matchers

Development

Clone repo and use "Load unpacked extension..." on the chrome extensions page.

To auto reload on changes you can run devd in the repo root devd -l . and uncomment reloadOnChange(); in background.js. Have a look at dummyMatch.js.js and matchers.js for how to test matcher results.

Privacy

The extension itself does not track usage or collect any personal information. But the services used to do music recognition might track of collect information. Please see the privacy policies for audD, ACRCloud and AudioTag for more information.
