About SpotMenu
SpotMenu is a minimalist menu bar utility for macOS that displays your currently playing track, with playback controls and keyboard shortcuts. It is built with Swift and SwiftUI and works with Spotify and Apple Music.
It is useful for anyone who wants to see what is playing and skip tracks without switching apps. It can detect the active player automatically, or you can choose one yourself.
Highlights
- Artist and song title shown directly in the menu bar
- Hover overlay with play/pause, skip and album art
- Global hotkeys for playback control
- Like or unlike tracks through the Spotify Web API (Spotify only)
- Compact view and customizable colors, blur and menu bar display options
- Automatic detection of Spotify or Apple Music, or a manual choice
