This is a popup that shows Spotify current playback information, made and tested specially for macOS. It also allows you to add tracks to your library and playlists.
Download the .dmg
file from the latest release, run it and move the app to the Application
folder.
Using Homebrew:
brew cask install spotify-now-playing
I tried to make the app compatible with Linux, but I've seen this issue, which turns quite hard to make the app behaves as expected (let's say, as a menu bar app) on Linux. You can run the app locally, but for now, I prefered to not release a version for Linux because it'd be far from what I (or any other user) would expected. If you find a good solution, please don't hesitate to open an issue or a pull request.
This app was made using Electron, but developed and tested only on macOS.
First, clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/davicorreiajr/spotify-now-playing
cd spotify-now-playing
Install the dependencies:
yarn install
Then you have to create an app on Spotify, in order to get the codes necessary for doing the requests to its API. You can do it easly, following this tutorial.
Once you have done this, rename .env-example.json
(file in the root of this project) to .env.json
.
And finally, start the app:
yarn start
If you are developing over this project and want to test the built app, the one generated by electron-builder
, you have to:
electron-builder-example.yml
to electron-builder.yml
;package.json
.And then, you run:
yarn dist
With this command, you are going to find a .dmg
file inside a new folder dist
.
