Omarchy Spotify
Spotify in Quickshell—not Chromium.
Omarchy Spotify brings the Spotify experience you already know into a fast, beautiful Omarchy plugin. It uses about 60 MB of RAM instead of roughly 950 MB for the Spotify desktop client, follows your active Omarchy theme, and keeps your music close with an integrated mini player.
Pair it with Omasing and lyrics for the song you are playing are fetched for you, ready when you want them.
Why you will love it
- Lightweight by design. Enjoy your music without keeping a browser-sized desktop client running.
- Made for Omarchy. Every color follows your current theme automatically, including light themes.
- Always within reach. Play, pause, skip, seek, change volume, or open lyrics from the mini player in your bar.
- Your full music library. Search Spotify, browse artists and albums, manage playlists and the queue, and move playback between Spotify Connect devices.
- Lyrics with Omasing. Open the current song in Omasing and let it find the right lyrics and playback position automatically.
Familiar from the first click
The layout is inspired by the Spotify client, so there is almost nothing new to learn. Your library and playlists live in the sidebar, search stays at the top, the player stays at the bottom, and artist and album names take you straight to their pages.
Prefer to keep your hands on the keyboard? The whole app is designed for that too.

Your playlists, instantly familiar
Everything is where you expect it to be—just faster, lighter, and dressed in your Omarchy theme.
Everything from an artist, in one view
Top albums and EPs sit beside the artist's ten biggest songs, with their This Is playlist and full catalog only a search away.
Lyrics, already matched to the song
One click sends the current track to Omasing, where the lyrics are fetched and lined up with your playback position—ready to auto-scroll as you listen.
A mini player that belongs in your desktop
The essentials are always one click away, without reopening the full app.
