KoBar is a versatile platform designed to host a rich ecosystem of plugins, seamlessly integrating powerful tools directly into your daily workflow. As a core extension for this ecosystem, koPlayer transforms KoBar into an elegant media control hub.
koPlayer is a sleek, floating media player designed to provide seamless playback control while you work. Built specifically for KoBar, it lives in your sidebar and can detach as a floating window, letting you play, pause, and skip tracks without interrupting your focus or searching through multiple open tabs.
- Always-on-Top Floating UI: Detach the player from the sidebar and place it anywhere on your screen for quick access.
- Universal Media Controls: Play, pause, skip forward, and skip backward with a clean, glassmorphism interface.
- System Media Integration: Hooks into OS-level media sessions (Windows SMTC / macOS Now Playing) to show album art, song title, and artist name for whatever is currently playing on your system (e.g., Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube).
- Volume & Scrubbing: Fine-tune volume levels and scrub through audio tracks directly from the widget.
- Smart Window Positioning: Adheres to KoBar's boundary constraints to ensure the floating player never gets lost off-screen.
- Cross-Platform: Designed to function flawlessly on both Windows and macOS environments.
- Activate the Player: Click the music note icon in your KoBar sidebar to reveal the media controls.
- Control Media: Ensure a media source (like Spotify or a web browser playing a video) is active. koPlayer will automatically detect the active media session.
- Detach: Use the drag handle to pull the player out of the sidebar and position it freely on your screen.
- Interact: Use the intuitive buttons to control playback, adjust the volume slider, or click the album art for an expanded view.
