THIS PROJECT IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED

If you are looking for a replacement you can check out these other amazing projects:

• AudioBand
• Lofi

or use Spotify's own overlay on Windows (check out this article).

Toastify

Toastify adds global hotkeys and toast notifications to Spotify.

This application uses SpotifyAPI-NET.

Features

• Display the current playing track in a customizable toast-style popup
• Global hotkeys for media actions (Play/Pause, Next/Previous track, Mute, Fast Forward, Rewind)
• ❗ Compatible with the Microsoft Store version of Spotify

Requirements

• Windows (7, 8/8.1, 10)
• .NET Framework 4.7.2 or greater
• Spotify

Notices

• Toastify is not a Spotify replacement. You need both running at the same time.

• Windows 10: In the latest versions of Windows, SmartScreen will probably prevent the installer from starting, because it is not signed.
  You have two options: either Don't run the installer and forget about Toastify, or click on More info and Run anyway.
  Whatever is your choice, I strongly advise you to not disable Windows SmartScreen — its warnings are meaningful.

  If you have any concerns, feel free to take a look at the code (it's free 😉) and ask questions in the issues section.

• If you are updating from the original version of Toastify (v1.8.3), be sure to uninstall it completely before installing this version. You should also remove any file from the following directories, if they exist:

  • "%LocalAppData%\Toastify" (for example: "C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\Toastify")
  • "%AppData%\Toastify" (for example: "C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Roaming\Toastify")

Information for contributors

• The language version used to build the project is C# 7
• The solution requires Visual Studio 2017 (or Visual Studio Code, alternatively)
• Dependencies are not included. Use of NuGet is highly recommended.
• The repository has a git submodule; use git submodule update --init --recursive to initialize it.

Donations

I dedicate most of my free time to improving and keeping Toastify alive. Although absolutely not necessary, if you'd like to support me and the project, you can buy me a coffee here! ☕
