Custom Apps

Custom Apps, similar to Extensions, are simply Javascript that will be injected into Spotify, that consists of a page that can be accessed from the sidebar.

Installing​

Custom Apps files can be stored in:

  • CustomApps folder in Home directory:
PlatformPath
Windows%appdata%\spicetify\CustomApps\
Linux/MacOS~/.config/spicetify/CustomApps
  • CustomApps folder in Spicetify executable directory.

If there are 2 Custom Apps with the same name, the extension within the Home directory will be prioritized.

After placing the Custom App file into correct folder, run following command to install it:

spicetify config custom_apps <file name>
spicetify apply

Note: Using config command to add Custom Apps always append file name to existed extensions list. It does not replace the whole key's value.

Uninstalling​

If you want to remove a custom app from the current list of custom app you can always append a - after the file name:

spicetify config custom_apps <file name>-
spicetify apply

Custom Apps​

Inject custom apps to Spotify and access them in left sidebar.
Add your desired custom app folder names in config, separated them by | character.
Example:

custom_apps = reddit|yourownapp

App folders can be stored in:

  • CustomApps folder in Home directory:
PlatformPath
Windows%appdata%\spicetify\CustomApps\
