nocturnal VS MuseBar

Applications that dim in a different way than typical brightness/contrast settings. For Windows I use pangobright. For Mac there is Nocturnal, though I've not tried it. It appears to have similar methods for brightness and contrast reduction. What Pangobright does is puts a layer of gray over bright white/lighter colors. It was a godsend when I had migraines on top of IIH.

I use Muse Bar to have Spotify on my Touchbar at all times.

I use Muse Bar and it controls Spotify and Apple Music depending on what you use. It’ll add a button to your Touch Bar that you press to pause the music specifically, and when you press and hold it’ll bring up a scrubber, like, shuffle, etc.

Get MuseBar. Makes controlling Spotify/AM playback SO much nicer, you can swipe across the button it adds to skip forward backward or even long press on it and it’ll give you a scrubber, the song name album art, volume control, heart icon to add a song to favorites. It’s honestly my favorite part of having a touchbar and just shows how much more potential there is in a screen than just some F keys
