Baritone

Baritone adds a set of Spotify playback controls directly to the macOS menu bar, allowing users to manage music without opening the Spotify application. The interface provides basic functions such as seeking within a track, skipping to the next or previous song, and toggling shuffle mode. By residing in the menubar, the controls are always accessible while working in other applications.

The tool is targeted at macOS users who want a lightweight, always‑available way to interact with Spotify while multitasking. It is especially useful for those who prefer not to switch windows or keep the full Spotify client visible on screen.

Baritone is distributed as a stable, core macOS binary and can be downloaded from its release page. It does not require additional configuration beyond installation and integrates with the existing Spotify session on the system.
