A Spotify widget for your Windows desktop

What you get on Windows

• A desktop widget for Spotify

  A transparent, always-on now-playing widget on your desktop, following the song Spotify is playing.

• Lyrics across the top of the screen

  Synced lyrics float at the top of your screen while you work or play, for songs that have lyrics.

• Search from any app

  Press Ctrl+Alt+K, type a song, album or artist, press Enter. Spotify never comes to the front.

• Your stats and Last.fm

  Hours played, top artists and tracks, plays and skips for every song. Everything you play lands on your Last.fm profile.

• AI playlists

  Create or extend playlists from a prompt, powered by your own free Groq key.

• Updates on their own

  Updates install on their own, like on the Mac.

The notch, the screensaver and the live desktop are Mac only for now. See everything LinerFM does on the Mac.

Questions

Does it work on Windows 10 and Windows 11?

Yes, both. It installs for your user only, no admin rights needed.

Windows says it protected my PC. Is that normal?

Yes. The installer isn't code signed yet, so SmartScreen warns on first run. Click "More info", then "Run anyway".

Which music services work on Windows?

Spotify. On the Mac LinerFM also follows Apple Music and YouTube Music.

Is everything from the Mac version there?

Not yet. The notch, the screensaver and the live desktop are Mac only for now.

Do I need Rainmeter or Wallpaper Engine?

No. LinerFM is its own app: install it, connect Spotify, and the widget is on your desktop.
