Spotlightify

A Spotlight-style command bar for Spotify. A global shortcut — ctrl + alt + space, or ctrl + option + space on macOS — puts a search field over whatever you are doing; you type what you want and it happens, without switching to the Spotify window.

Everything is a keyword and an argument rather than a menu to navigate. play and queue search and act on a track, playlist, album and artist do the same for saved and followed collections, and volume, seek, shuffle, repeat and device cover the playback controls that would otherwise mean finding the app first. Commands resolve against the Spotify Web API, so the target is whichever device is currently active rather than the machine the app is running on.

Originally a pure Python desktop app for Windows, Linux and macOS. It has since been rebuilt by the project on Go and Wails with a React front end, and remains open source under GPL-3.0.
