Support for macOS?

[956MB]

Is there currently a work around to use Spicetify on macOS, or could support be added in the future? Right now I'm just a normal Windows PC user and this works great for me, but I have plans to get a Macbook in the near future, and I was wondering if I would be left without this nice addition to my Spotify app there on Mac. Not major concern obviously, just wondering.

I currently make one with proton native to port this cross platform. You can track it in my spicetify-proton repo. I'm still exploring and experimenting so it might take awhile. I will let you know if it's ready for beta test

its working on mac.. but u must copy modded files from windows to mac .. Bugs : if connection drops (internet) u cant hide error about this song is not available, and if is spotify in full screen than is problem with seeking song ..but other things is working fine + looking good on mac ..

[therain7]

it's working on Mac. I just copied modded files from windows to Mac (folder "Apps"). Also I edited some lines in user.css to make spicetify look better on Mac. And I haven't detected any bugs that tr0nix123 found.

P.S I think it looks even better than in Windows.

By any chance, could someone do a step by step guide on how to do it on Mac?

I can confirm, copying Apps folder from Spotify directory on Windows to Spotify directory on Linux also works perfectly! :smile:

Still waiting for an actual macOS guide for this

What CSS modifications did you make? I've gotten the Windows CSS loading on mac, but agree that it needs to be tweaked for the placement of top nav items.

Where is the spotify directory on linux? I installed it using snap

Any progress with a Mac OS port?

@Bloumbs @aaron-gray @xFahrenheightx I just released first version of spicetify-cli which is Spicetify but works in terminal, supports MacOS, Linux and Windows. There is no plan on making GUI on cross-platform so hope it's not too inconvenient for you guys.

1. Download binary for your platform here: https://github.com/khanhas/spicetify-cli/releases
2. In terminal:

   cd ~/
   mkdir spicetify
   cd spicetify
   tar xzf ~/Downloads/spicetify-0.1.0-darwin-amd64.tar

3. Spicetify executable is in your ~/spicetify folder. You can run it directly or set alias in .bashrc for later use. Now run it once to generate config file and print instruction

   ./spicetify

   Config file is located at: ~/.spicetify/config.ini

Starts backing up:

./spicetify backup

You might need sudo if you get Permission Denied error.

When it succeeds, output should look like this:

You can start applying now:

./spicetify apply

Restart Spotify.

About theme, one default theme SpotifyDefault is located at spicetify executable folder: ~/spicetify/Themes. Customize it or make new one based on it. If you make new one, remember to change theme name in config file. Then run ./spicetify apply every times you change something.

Currently in version 0.1, only basic features like disable telemetry, customize colors and inject CSS are working. Additional features, inject extensions and custom apps will come later when I have more time.

Bug report and feature suggestion are welcomed, post them in spicetify-cli issue page.

user.css - changed some nav items. It looks better now.

Hi may you help me? I got macOS Mojave 10.14.2, installed Spotify and last version of spicetify Darwin 0.4.2, but I can't go any further. I tried to run spicetify exec but I can do no more, I can't write on it.

. I would appreciate some help because I love spicetify on Windows but it's a lot harder to install here in Macintosh🤐.

[khanhas]

What do you mean you cant write on it?
I see you can executing spicetify normally. Try to run spicetify backup apply.

[D-Rekk]

Sorry, it was my bad. I opened the spicetify exec directly from the Finder instead of running the commands on terminal. I managed to change colors to the secondary and used Therain7 CSS file and it look way better than its default. By the way, I would get rid of is the right "friends" bar. . . It takes up a lot of space! (And make the grid of 5 or just showing more elements as long as you enlarge Spotify window, but this in an extra). Plus I'd like to know how to add extensions like trash bin, auto skip videos ecc. since I used many of them. Another thing is this annoying ¿navbar? It doesn't fit with background color:

I want to remove friends hub and scrollbar too, or almost restore the last one like default spicetify on Windows.

[D-Rekk]

Update: I noticed that if your Spotify width goes over ~75% the grid will show up directly 6 icons:

Wouldn't be better to show also 5 squares when you're between 50-74%?

[therain7]

@Destimium about removing friends bar - there is an option in the settings that hides it.

[khanhas]

For problems relating to CSS, please use Dev tools, try and error till it scratches your itch. I already gave enough tools for users to ease up Theme making process like update, watch commands.

[D-Rekk]

Thanks again @therain7! I'm not expert, maybe I touched something for mistake, but as far as I remember I've just replaced user.css with the one you sent and changed color.ini with the "Light green on Dark Blue Background" settings. Results are a bit different than your screenshot. Since I don't really like gray/black theme, may you share also color file?

Could you upload the CSS from the windows somewhere? I made I can't seem to make it look nice.
