A Bash/AppleScript command-line tool for controlling the Spotify desktop app on macOS, including playback, volume, and search via the Spotify API. It is installed via Homebrew or a simple script copy and configured with Spotify developer credentials.
Use cases
- control spotify from the terminal on mac
- play a song by name from the command line
- pause and skip spotify tracks without opening the app
- adjust spotify volume via shell script
- search and play albums, artists, or playlists from cli
When to choose
- you use macOS with the Spotify desktop app and want keyboard-driven control
- you want a lightweight shell script instead of a full client
- you install tools via Homebrew
When to avoid
- you are on Linux or Windows
- you use Spotify's web player instead of the desktop app
- you need rich metadata display or library management
