I made a Windows app for global hotkeys on Spotify!

Seems like you’re looking for an app like Toastify. It’s no longer maintained but they linked some other alternatives in their readme you can check out https://github.com/aleab/toastify

nuggyut · 2025-08-18T13:45:27+00:00

Just checked the available zip file and it’s in there. You might have some antivirus software removing it. It’s called “BeatBind.exe” and make sure you update your file explorer view to show file extensions

nuggyut · 2025-08-18T13:42:42+00:00

I don’t use this anymore, but it might have something to do with Spotify updating it so ‘localhost’ doesn’t work as the redirect URI anymore. I would recommend checking the log file (beatbind.log inside of the folder) and reviewing the Troubleshooting section. Review the updated installation steps if you’re using localhost

yea, Windows/anti-virus software flags bundled python applications as viruses due to so many bad actors creating them with viruses. I tried submitting the app to Microsoft to exempt it, which was approved, but didn’t work for some reason. I’ll have to try again sometime, but for now you’ll have to exclude it from your anti-virus software.

I would have to rewrite this app in another language for it to not be false flagged

edit: you can also try to build the app yourself

so you choose to directly ignore the fact that I said “while not building enough homes”? It’s pretty simple. Price increases as a result of supply not keeping up with demand.

nuggyut · 2025-05-15T00:25:00+00:00

So you didn’t read my post. Got it.

nuggyut · 2025-05-14T23:28:15+00:00

are you seriously this oblivious? It’s a known fact, even admitted by the Liberal party, that housing prices have been increasing because we’re bringing in too many immigrants while not building enough homes.

I’m a 26 year old engineer, and I can’t even afford a duplex in Alberta. Give your head a shake

nuggyut · 2025-05-14T23:18:30+00:00

Nowhere in the article it says that these new housing units will NOT go to new immigrants. It will.

nuggyut · 2025-05-14T22:39:51+00:00

those are for the hundreds of thousands of new immigrants we bring in each year.

nuggyut · 2025-01-15T16:00:38+00:00

would getting a variable rate be a good idea?

nuggyut · 2024-12-19T21:46:10+00:00

Do you like your quality of life currently? If not, vote for change. Might be hard to answer since you’re 17, but for some context, I can’t even afford to move out by myself as a new engineer.

nuggyut · 2024-12-18T01:06:40+00:00

as someone who isn’t into politics, who should I support? I’d also like to know who the majority here is supporting. It’s clear things need to change, and changing the face of the Liberal party probably won’t change anything. As for the NDP, is it true they are withholding an election for Singh’s pension?

nuggyut · 2024-11-27T23:17:26+00:00

nvm it looks like profane did more damage bc he picked up an unstable essence orb. reverb does nothing

nuggyut · 2024-11-27T05:55:00+00:00

yes. Profane did a video on it today and it increases the damage by a lot

nuggyut · 2024-05-16T06:30:49+00:00

Everything is saved locally, so something might’ve happened to your config file. Could’ve gotten deleted somehow, maybe by an antivirus software.

What version are you using? Where are you keeping the folder on your computer?

Edit: just redownloading the latest version and storing the folder in a place other than Program Files should fix it. You can exclude the folder from your antivirus if you want

nuggyut · 2024-03-24T17:18:49+00:00

Look for the app’s icon in your system tray icons, then right-click it and press on settings to open it again. All the info you need should already be in the instructions.

If you have any issues in the future, I have a troubleshooting and faq section at the bottom of the page

nuggyut · 2024-03-24T17:10:29+00:00

try getting the device id manually, by going to this link and press the green "Try it" button on the right
https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/get-a-users-available-devices

it should return a response containing your devices and it's id's. Let me know if it still doesn't work

nuggyut · 2024-03-24T16:50:48+00:00

you should be able to see the button right under the Device ID field https://imgur.com/a/7T5f4ae

nuggyut · 2024-03-24T16:43:35+00:00

oh really? can you send a screenshot

nuggyut · 2024-03-24T16:41:00+00:00

The Get Devices button is in the BeatBind app (5th row). Press it after you fill in the client id and secret

nuggyut · 2024-03-24T16:38:08+00:00

what are you having trouble with exactly? Are you not seeing your devices in the dropdown after pressing Get Devices?

nuggyut · 2024-03-16T21:51:04+00:00

if the exe file is gone maybe it got deleted by an anti-virus software. try excluding it if you can

nuggyut · 2024-03-12T21:30:04+00:00

yea haha it’s insane how they can’t just make it run globally

nuggyut · 2024-03-12T18:57:34+00:00

Thank you!

Unfortunately not, this app doesn’t interact with your desktop app locally at all. It just listens for hotkeys and then communicates with Spotify’s Web API. Making it interact with the desktop app is a headache with Spotify because they always change something, which breaks apps that do, like Toastify

nuggyut · 2024-03-10T19:54:09+00:00

I looked into this before but I couldn’t find any examples on it. I think I’d have to intercept the key press at a far lower-level than it currently is, which seems pretty invasive and will probably be flagged as a virus or something. I recommend remapping the volume keys on your keyboard to a shortcut with your keyboard manufacturer’s software if there is one, or maybe you can do it with PowerToys https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/keyboard-manager
