Privacy-First Spotify Controller for Healthcare Administrators
No credentials, no browsing history, and local-only analytics.
💡 Overview
People who care about focus tend to care about privacy too. Forms, records and phone calls fill the shift.
Spotify-Web Playback Controller states that it collects no Spotify credentials, passwords or personal information, and does not request access to browsing history. Its host permission covers only open.spotify.com. Focus insights are stored on your own device, and it does not log tracks or listening stats in Incognito mode. Optional anonymous diagnostics have their own toggle.
