Like Songs Without Opening Spotify While writing

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

💡 Overview

Good songs show up at inconvenient times. A song with lyrics can derail a sentence, and finding the tab to skip it derails the next one.

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 Writers and Bloggers

Drafting depends on a continuous train of thought, and your editor, notes and research tabs are already crowded.

The problem: A song with lyrics can derail a sentence, and finding the tab to skip it derails the next one.

The fix: Use the pause hotkey the moment a lyric pulls you out of a paragraph, then resume with the same key.

🚀 Try It in Three Steps

  1. Hear a song you want to keep.
  2. Open the popup and tap the heart, or press L.
  3. Find it later in your Liked Songs library on Spotify.
