Spotify Focus Analytics for Software Developers
Local listening and focus time insights that never leave your device.
💡 Overview
If music is part of how you focus, it helps to see the pattern. You live in an editor, a terminal and a browser full of docs, and every context switch costs you the mental stack you just built.
The dashboard shows a focus time counter for daily and weekly listening, a seven-day activity chart and leaderboards for top artists and tracks. The extension states that this data is stored in local browser storage with no external trackers, and that nothing is logged in Incognito mode.
🧭 A Day of Software Developers
You live in an editor, a terminal and a browser full of docs, and every context switch costs you the mental stack you just built.
The problem: Reaching for the Spotify tab mid-debug means leaving the stack trace you were reading.
The fix: Bind play/pause to a shortcut you can hit with your left hand while your right stays on the mouse or trackpad.
🚀 Try It in Three Steps
- Open the dashboard from the extension.
- Check the focus counter and the seven-day chart.
- Use the top artists and tracks lists to find your best focus music.
✨ What You Get
- Four default hotkeys: Shift+Alt+Up toggles play and pause, Right skips, Left goes back and Down pauses only.
- Zero-polling design: A MutationObserver updates the UI only when the page changes, keeping CPU and memory use low.
- Device quick-switcher: One click to the Spotify Connect device drawer from the mini-player header.
| Task | Switching tabs | Spotify-Web Playback Controller |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Any app, any tab | Spotify Web Player (open.spotify.com) only |
| Resource use | A full tab in the foreground | Observer-based, near-zero overhead |
| Volume change | Open the tab, drag a slider | Scroll the mouse wheel over the popup |
| Skipping a track | Switch window, click next, switch back | Shift+Alt+Right from any window |
Note: it works with the Spotify Web Player at open.spotify.com only, and does not control the desktop app.
