Description
Glance is a free, open-source browser extension that adds a floating media controller to the top of every tab, inspired by Apple's Dynamic Island. It controls Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. The island extracts real-time album colors, displays synced lyrics, and gives instant playback control without switching tabs. v1.7 adds Focus Mode: a Pomodoro timer that blocks distracting sites. Built in vanilla JS with Shadow DOM to bypass strict CSP rules.

Could you build this?
Yes This is a client-side browser extension that interacts with web players via DOM manipulation or MediaSession APIs, pulls lyrics from public lyric APIs, and renders a floating overlay.
