SpotMenu is a macOS menu bar application that displays Spotify and Apple Music playback information and controls.
The tool solves the problem of accessing music player controls without switching away from your current application. It places a compact player interface directly in the macOS menu bar, showing the currently playing track and offering playback controls. This approach keeps music management immediately accessible while you work on other tasks.
SpotMenu suits macOS users who frequently switch between applications and want quick access to music controls without minimizing windows or opening a separate player window. It works with both Spotify and Apple Music, making it useful regardless of which streaming service you prefer. The menu bar placement means it consumes minimal screen real estate while remaining always visible.
The project shows consistent maintenance with regular updates addressing bugs and adding refinements to the user experience. Development activity demonstrates responsiveness to user-reported issues and a commitment to keeping the tool functional across macOS updates.
