About the startup

A tiny widget that lives inside the Windows taskbar and shows whatever's playing, so you stop alt-tabbing to your music. It follows any player through the Windows media session (Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, Windows Media Player), with play/pause, skip and a seekable progress bar. For Spotify it also shows the liked state and controls Smart Shuffle, repeat and volume. No login, no API keys, no account. Free, open source, runs on Windows 10 and 11.
