Non-Mac-dev builds Coverage with Astra: Spotify album covers get live effects
craigsdennis · x · 2026-09-05
Craig Dennis shipped his first native Mac app, Coverage: it hooks into whatever you're playing on Spotify and animates effects over the album cover (one effect is called Sheet).
- The author says he doesn't know how to make Mac apps — "I mean Astra and I" — the app was built with AI assistance
- He even had Codex add a new feature on the fly: capturing a video of how the effects look
- A demo video explaining how he prompted Astra is promised soon
