  • SoundSeer

    SoundSeer is a macOS app that shows your current Spotify song & controls in the menu bar.

  • Thanks for the suggestion! Someone else had the same great idea. https://github.com/jonathangarelick/SoundSeer/issues/25

    Unfortunately, that particular feature will require Spotify to give me additional approval, which requires 6 weeks (or more, unfortunately). I will try my best to add this as soon as possible.

  • Currentsong

    Displays the currently playing iTunes track in the Mac OS X menu bar.

  • Nice! I made a similar app about 10 years ago for iTunes: https://github.com/74hc595/Currentsong

    Had a lot of the same features (like the scrolling marquee), but I just built it as a personal project, never put it on the app store or anything like that. I don’t even know if it’ll build or run on modern macOS, but it’s still on github if you want to see some fossilized Objective-C code :p
