An overview of WolfWave's features:

When prompted by macOS, click OK to allow Apple Music access (required for tracking).

To enable chat commands like !song:
- Click Connect with Twitch in the onboarding wizard
- Follow the device authorization flow in your browser

You can skip this step and connect later in Settings.

A visual preview shows what your Discord profile will look like with Rich Presence active.

You'll need a Discord Application ID from the Discord Developer Portal. See the Usage Guide for setup details.

To show your now-playing track on stream:
- Toggle on the OBS Widget server in the onboarding wizard
- Copy the widget URL that appears
