Detection

The .exe uses the Windows GlobalSystemMediaTransportControlsSessionManager API to reliably read the currently playing track — even when minimized.

💾

JSON Export

Track info and album artwork (as base64) are written to current_song.json every second, acting as a lightweight local data bridge.

✨

Live Widget

The OBS Browser Source polls the JSON file and renders a sleek, glassmorphism card with smooth fade transitions on every song change.

⚡

Real-time Updates
