# Spot-Notify 
Notifications & more for Spotify App on Mac OS.
- This project provides a script that shows desktop notifications on _Mac OS_ that will contain name, artist, album, and other details of the song when the user starts playing or changes a song when using the Spotify Application.
- The notifications also display a **Popularity Score** for the song (on a scale of 100) that is currently being played, that indicates the popularity of the song on Spotify.
- Users can select to Skip the song by clicking the Skip button in the notification.
- Clicking on the notification opens the Spotify Application.
- The project also aims to provide various shortcuts for Spotify to help users use various functionalities of the Spotify App without having to change their window while working.
