Sonant
A glass-style music controller that lives in your Mac menu bar.
Sonant is a macOS menu bar app that provides a compact, glass-style controller for Spotify and Apple Music. It displays album art, playback controls, a seekable progress bar, and a live audio visualizer in a 185-pixel pill that requires no Dock icon or extra windows. The app is built natively in Swift and SwiftUI, supports global keyboard shortcuts, a sleep timer, audio output switching, and listening stats stored locally.
Sonant runs as a menu-bar-only macOS app, auto-detecting the active music player and rendering a glass-style pill with controls driven by native push notifications and a CoreAudio process tap.
Mac users who listen to Spotify or Apple Music and want quick playback controls without leaving their workflow
