How to Use Receiptify With Apple Music in 2026 (What Still Works)

As of 2026, Receiptify no longer works directly with Apple Music because Apple changed the way third-party apps can access music listening data. This article explains how the situation changed and shows all the methods you can still use to create a Receiptify-style “music receipt” with your Apple Music data in 2026.

What Is Receiptify and Why Apple Music Support Changed

Receiptify is a free tool that generates a receipt-style visual of your most-played songs based on your listening history. It began with Spotify support and later added limited support for Apple Music using external data sources.

In 2023, Apple updated its APIs, removing the ability for third-party apps like Receiptify to directly access Apple Music listening history. Because of this restriction, Receiptify no longer works directly with Apple Music accounts.

Why Receiptify No Longer Works With Apple Music Directly

Receiptify originally used Apple’s MusicKit API to fetch track data. In the past this let the tool show your top songs from Apple Music similar to how it works with Spotify. Since Apple tightened its privacy and data access rules, Receiptify can’t fetch that data anymore.

For now, Receiptify still works perfectly with Spotify and Last.fm, but direct Apple Music integration is disabled.

Method 1: Use Receiptify With Last.fm Scrobbling

Why This Works

Although Receiptify can’t fetch Apple Music data directly, you can use Last.fm to record your listening history (scrobbling) and then feed that history into Receiptify. Receiptify can generate receipts from Last.fm play data.

How to Set It Up

1. Create a Last.fm account at the Last.fm site.
2. Link Last.fm to Apple Music by enabling scrobbling in Apple Music or using a third-party scrobbling app.
3. Play music on Apple Music for a few hours so Last.fm logs your listening history.
4. Visit Receiptify and log in with Last.fm.
5. Choose the time period (e.g., last month or all time).
6. Click Generate Receipt and download your receipt image.

What You Get

• A receipt image listing your top listened tracks
• Top 10 songs for different periods
• A shareable image for social media

Method 2: Use Apple Music Replay and Manual Receipt Creation

What Apple Music Replay Offers

Apple Music Replay is Apple’s official tool that shows your most-played songs and total listening time over a year. It doesn’t create a receipt automatically, but you can use the stats to make one manually.

Steps to Use Apple Music Replay

1. Go to music.apple.com/replay in your browser.
2. Log in with your Apple ID.
3. View your Replay stats.
4. Take screenshots of your top tracks and statistics.
5. Use a graphic tool (like Canva or similar) to design your own receipt-style image.

What You Get

• Official Apple Music statistics
• Your top songs of the year
• A custom receipt-style image if you create it manually

Method 3: Use Stats.fm for More Detailed Stats

What Stats.fm Does

Stats.fm is an analytics platform that shows more detailed listening insights than Apple Music Replay, including top songs, artists, and trends over time. It often works by linking to your Apple Music or Last.fm account.

Steps to Use Stats.fm

1. Visit the Stats.fm website or app.
2. Link your Apple Music or Last.fm account.
3. Enable scrobbling if required.
4. View your listening stats by month or all time.
5. Export screenshots and make a receipt graphic manually.

What You Get

• Monthly and all-time listening insights
• Artist and genre breakdowns
• Data suitable for custom visuals

Method 4: Use Instafest for Visual Music Posters

Instafest doesn’t create a receipt but makes a visual lineup of your top artists and tracks based on listening history. After generating the poster, you can save and share it.

Tips for Better Apple Music Stats and Receipts

• Always link Apple Music to scintillating data sources like Last.fm.
• Play music regularly to improve Last.fm tracking.
• Use official tools like Apple Music Replay for reliable yearly stats.
• For visuals, combine exported stats with graphic tools for the best result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Conclusion

Receiptify no longer works directly with Apple Music due to changes in Apple’s API policies. To create a receipt-style list of your top Apple Music tracks, you must either sync your listening history through Last.fm, use Apple Music Replay and make a manual design, or use third-party tools like Stats.fm. These methods let you still visualize and share your music habits even without direct Apple Music access in Receiptify.
