In plain words

Spotify-Now-Playing is a macOS menu bar application that displays currently playing track information from Spotify and provides playback controls directly from the menu bar. Launched in 2019, it is designed for Spotify users who want quick access to their music without opening the full application. The tool integrates seamlessly into the system menu bar for convenient monitoring and management of playback.

    It always bothered that Spotify doesn't have an icon on menu bar; so I decided to create one. With "Spotify - now playing" you can, easily from the menu bar, see information about the current track, control the playback (previous track, pause/play, next track) and add the current track to your library or playlist. The code and app to download it's here: https://github.com/davicorreiajr/spotify-now-playing In any case of bug, of suggestion, please open an issue in the github repo! Hope you enjoy it!
