Like Songs Without Opening Spotify While practicing interviews

A one-tap Liked Songs toggle that stays in sync.

💡 Overview

Good songs show up at inconvenient times. Turning off music in time for a recorded practice answer is easy to forget.

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.
