Works with Spotify, Apple Music, or any app that reports to Now Playing (podcasts, YouTube, etc.).
A few technical details HN might find interesting:
- Zero permissions required. I use distributed notifications and the MediaRemote framework to read now-playing state without requesting any system access.
- Album art comes from Spotify's public oEmbed API and iTunes Search API—no auth tokens needed.
- Native Swift, not Electron. It's a proper .saver bundle that installs to ~/Library/Screen Savers.
- The vinyl color can match the dominant color of the album art, which required some fun image processing.
Requires macOS 13+. Free download, no tracking, no account.
Would love feedback on the rendering or ideas for other integrations.
