Glad to see the dev back after 2+ years. Really love this app and it was broken since Tahoe (plus broken in the Golden Gate beta). But now it works great again. Thank you! I really appreciate the update
Developer Response
Hi, Just coming back here in 2026.. took some time away from Spotica, but v6.0 is now available. As a solo developer sometimes life gets in the way. :)
Love this app

I’ve tried a few different ways to show the now playing song in menu bar, and Spotica is by far the most neat, stylish, and customizable app out there.
How is this free?

This is perfect and exactly what I was looking for with top notch customization.
Perfect!!

The new update is phenomenal. Bravo to the developer!!! Gladly have registered.
- Spotifast support! control Spotifast from the menu bar. It shares the same Spotify login.
- Links for each artist: tracks with several artists have a separate link in the popup players
- Bug Fix: Clicking the track, album or artist opens it on YouTube Music.
- Bug Fix: album art now shows for Apple Music songs that aren't in your library.
