Like Songs Without Opening Spotify While working on dual monitors
A one-tap Liked Songs toggle that stays in sync.
💡 Overview
Good songs show up at inconvenient times. Tab-switching on one screen can reorder your whole layout.
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.
🧭 A Day of Dual-Monitor Power Users
Two screens still run out of room for a music window.
The problem: Tab-switching on one screen can reorder your whole layout.
The fix: Keep the Web Player on the second monitor and control it from either screen.
🚀 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
- Zero-polling design: A MutationObserver updates the UI only when the page changes, keeping CPU and memory use low.
- Dynamic album-art backdrops: A blurred, color-adaptive background drawn from the current artwork, in dark or light theme.
- Four default hotkeys: Shift+Alt+Up toggles play and pause, Right skips, Left goes back and Down pauses only.
