Original Summary

Hey everyone, I love Spotify, but having an Electron app constantly draining my laptop's battery and eating up huge chunks of RAM just to play music in the background was driving me crazy. I wanted something completely native, fast, and incredibly resource-efficient. No embedded web browsers, no Javascript engines. So, I built SpotLight . It’s a pure Rust desktop client built using egui and librespot . Because of how egui works, the UI goes completely to sleep when you aren't actively interacting with it, meaning CPU/GPU usage drops to near 0%. Here is a quick comparison: RAM Usage: ~60 MB (vs 500 MB - 1.5 GB for the official app) Binary Size: ~22.5 MB standalone CPU Usage: Near 0% in background Some of the main features: Full native playback (via librespot ) Perfect time-synced lyrics (powered by LRCLIB) that scroll like the official app Native media controls integration (Windows SMTC and Linux MPRIS) * Custom UI accent colors The "catch": Because it relies on librespot , it requires a Spotify Premium account. Also, privacy is a priority, so your credentials never touch a third-party server. Because of this, you have to supply your own Spotify Developer Client ID to use it (it literally takes 1 minute to generate one, I wrote a step-by-step guide in the README). I'd love for you to try it out and let me know what you think, or if you have any feedback on the codebase!
