About Glance
Glance is a beautiful, Apple Dynamic Island-inspired media controller that floats natively over every webpage in your browser.
Hover to expand — see album art, track info, a live progress bar, and full playback controls. Move your mouse away and it collapses back to a tiny, elegant pill. It stays completely out of your way when you don't need it.
── MUSIC CONTROL ──
• Play, pause, skip, seek — all from the island, without switching tabs
• Double-click the island to instantly jump to your music tab
• Drag the progress bar dot to seek through any track
• Shuffle & repeat controls for Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music
• Picture-in-Picture button for YouTube — works cross-tab instantly
── LIVE LYRICS ──
• Time-synced, animated lyrics for millions of tracks
• Click any lyric line to seek directly to that moment
• One-tap Romanization for Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and other non-Latin scripts (powered by Google Translate)
• Smooth instrumental progress animation during music-only sections
• Swap lyrics providers on the fly
── ALBUM ART THEMING ──
• Automatically extracts the dominant color from your album artwork
• The entire island — background, glow, progress bar, and accent — transforms to match
• High-res artwork fetched via the iTunes Search API for sharp visuals
── FOCUS MODE (New in v1.7) ──
• Built-in Pomodoro timer: Work → Short Break → Long Break, fully customizable
• Block distracting sites during focus sessions with smart domain rules
• A full-screen countdown page (with your album art accent color) appears on blocked sites
• Already-open tabs are caught too — not just new navigations
• Bypass Once: step away for 5 minutes without stopping your timer
• Strict Mode: hide the bypass button entirely when you need to commit
── SMART DOMAIN BLOCKING ──
• Block google.com and it also blocks google.co.in, google.fr, and all regional variants
• But blocking youtube.com never touches music.youtube.com — your music stays untouched
• Add specific subdomains (like news.ycombinator.com) for surgical blocking
── DESIGN & CUSTOMIZATION ──
• Free Placement: drag the island anywhere on screen, position is remembered
• AMOLED Black Mode: pure pitch-black background for OLED displays
• Snap Presets: one click to park at Top, Bottom, Left, or Right
• Keyboard Shortcuts: global media keys (Play/Pause, Next, Prev) from any tab
• Auto-collapse & Idle State: shrinks to a tiny dot when inactive
── SUPPORTED PLATFORMS ──
• YouTube
• YouTube Music
• Spotify Web Player
• Apple Music (music.apple.com)
── WORKS ON ──
