cli
Command-line tool to customize Spotify client. Supports Windows, macOS, and Linux.
A command-line tool that unlocks Spotify's desktop app for customization, letting you apply color themes, inject CSS, and add extensions that Spotify doesn't officially support.
Spicetify is a command-line tool that lets you customize the official Spotify desktop app. By default Spotify's appearance and features are locked — you cannot change colors, add new features, or adjust the interface. Spicetify unlocks those restrictions.
It works by modifying Spotify's client files and injecting custom code. You can change the color scheme of the entire interface, apply custom CSS to alter the look of any element, add Extensions (small scripts that add new features like lyrics display, keyboard shortcuts, or playback controls), and install custom built-in apps that appear in Spotify's sidebar.
You would use this if you find the default Spotify interface boring or limiting and want to personalize it — for example, applying a dark theme, adding missing features, or extending playback controls. It works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The tool is written in Go but extensions and themes are written in JavaScript and CSS. It requires some comfort running commands in a terminal to install and use.
Where it fits
- Apply a custom dark theme to your Spotify desktop app to match your system's color scheme
- Add a lyrics display extension that shows song lyrics inside Spotify while music plays
- Create custom keyboard shortcuts for playback controls in Spotify using a Spicetify extension
- Install a custom sidebar app in Spotify that adds features the official client doesn't include
