Spotify Sleep Timer for High School Students

💡 Overview

Some music is meant to end on its own. A worksheet and a calculator are open next to a music tab.

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.

🧭 A Day of High School Students

A worksheet and a calculator are open next to a music tab.

The problem: One click on the music tab often turns into video scrolling.

The fix: Never open the tab; use the popup, a hotkey and nothing else.

🚀 Try It in Three Steps

1. Open the popup and choose a sleep timer preset.
2. Watch the countdown badge for the time remaining.
3. Let playback pause itself when the timer ends.

✨ What You Get

• Floating mini-player: Popup with play, pause, next, previous, shuffle, repeat, seek and a Liked Songs toggle.
• Sleep timer: Presets of 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes with a live countdown that auto-pauses playback.
• Zero-polling design: A MutationObserver updates the UI only when the page changes, keeping CPU and memory use low.

Note: it works with the Spotify Web Player at open.spotify.com only, and does not control the desktop app.
