Like Songs Without Opening Spotify While 3D modeling
A one-tap Liked Songs toggle that stays in sync.
💡 Overview
Good songs show up at inconvenient times. Jumping out of a heavy viewport to skip a song is slow on a busy machine.
The popup includes a heart toggle that mirrors your Liked Songs state on the Web Player. Tap it, or press L inside the popup, to like or unlike the current track. The change is reflected immediately, so you can save a song and carry on without ever opening the Spotify tab.

Viewports and node editors eat both screens and your GPU.
The problem: Jumping out of a heavy viewport to skip a song is slow on a busy machine.
The fix: Choose a controller with no background polling so your GPU headroom goes to the viewport.
🚀 Try It in Three Steps
- Hear a song you want to keep.
- Open the popup and tap the heart, or press L.
- Find it later in your Liked Songs library on Spotify.
✨ What You Get
- Four default hotkeys: Shift+Alt+Up toggles play and pause, Right skips, Left goes back and Down pauses only.
- Playback speed 0.5x to 2.0x: Presets at 1.0x, 1.25x, 1.5x and 2.0x, locked across track changes.
- Zero-polling design: A MutationObserver updates the UI only when the page changes, keeping CPU and memory use low.
