Amazify CLI

The installer adds Amazify to the user PATH. Running amazify without a subcommand prints the complete command list.

amazify run

Start the daemon when needed, launch or focus Amazon Music, inject Amazify, and return control to the terminal.

amazify run --foreground

Run attached to the current terminal. Use this when you need immediate logs or exception details.

amazify daemon start

Start the persistent background daemon without launching a visible terminal window.

amazify daemon status

Report whether the daemon is running and reachable.

amazify daemon stop

Ask the daemon to shut down. Closing Amazon Music alone does not stop it.

amazify list-candidates

List detected Amazon Music launch candidates. This is useful when attachment or launch discovery fails.

amazify shortcuts install

Recreate the Amazify launch shortcuts using the current installation.

amazify update check

Check GitHub for the latest eligible final application release without installing it.

amazify update install

Ask for confirmation, download and verify the installer, then open the normal interactive setup.

amazify --version

Print the currently installed Amazify application version.

Daemon behavior

amazify run hands the launch request to the daemon and exits. Closing that terminal does not stop the daemon, and closing Amazon Music leaves it ready for the next launch request.

When to use foreground mode

Use amazify run --foreground when a shortcut appears to do nothing, injection fails, or you need a live traceback. For routine use, the normal daemon-backed command is faster and avoids a terminal window.

Command is not found

Open a new terminal after installation so it receives the updated user PATH. If the command is still missing, reinstall Amazify or invoke amazify.exe from its CLI directory under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Amazify.
