Macos Status Bar and MiniPlayer Controls for Spotify™ and Apple Music™

6.0 available now!

July 23rd, 2026

I just submitted v6.0.1 to the app store.

If you are experiencing crashes with Apple Music, this new version will fix it.

I'll also have a .dmg release available here soon that will include beta versions (including Youtube Music, Deezer and Tidal support in the coming weeks).

Spotica Menu is a MacOS menu bar app and mini player that shows the currently playing track, album, and album cover from Spotify or Apple Music.*

It puts common music controls (play, next, previous, and more) right in your menu bar, along with a choice of mini players and global hotkeys. A large number of custom configuration options are available including the colours, layout and global hotkey actions.
