Spotify Sleep Timer for Keyboard-First Users
Quick timers for 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes with a live countdown.
💡 Overview
Some music is meant to end on its own. Your workflow avoids the mouse wherever possible.
The smart background sleep timer offers quick presets of 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes. A live countdown badge shows time remaining, and the timer runs on background alarms, so it keeps counting after you close the popup. When time is up, playback pauses automatically.
