A simple, clean, MacOS application that displays the current song on the Menu Bar. Works only with Spotify.
The Desktop widget is an added feature that shows the currently playing song, has basic media controls, and stays on top of any application you are using. Disabled by default.
The easiest way to get running is to head to Releases and download the package for your platform.
You need to have installed on your system:
- The
swift compiler(through xcode's dev tools) CMake(and be accessible from the terminal)
git clone https://github.com/thanasis457/Playfulcd Playfulnpm inpm start
If you want to make your own distributable version of the app (.dmg files), run:
npm run make
This will create a folder named out. At the path out/make/zip/darwin/ you will find a zip file. This is your distributable.

The App icons are not mine. They are provided by Icons8 and can be found here

Support for Linux/Windows: Every platform has its own internal media playback system. Since Electron does not offer this integration, I would have to redo all the work for new platforms. It was a already a big challenge to get the MacOS playback information. Maybe in the future I might consider expanding to other OSes.
Playful now has an Android companion app. See your currently playing Spotify song on a lightweight and minimal app, designed to make your phone into an elegant mini-canvas.

I am a student that likes to work on projects like these on my free time. If you like what I do please consider supporting me! Any donation is appreciated!
Should enough donations be reached, I will be able to publish Playful on the App Store and enable Auto-Updates. Donate if that sounds like something you would want!
