spicetify-autoVolume

Extension for spicetify-cli which automatically decreases volume at specific intervals of time.

Why?

I've made this extension for people who listen to music for long periods of time and care about their ears. This extension, when enabled using the toggle in the menu, automatically decreases the volume by a specific percentage at specific intervals of time until the volume reaches a specified minimum percentage. This way, you can listen to music for long time and making sure you're not hurting your ears much.

If you're someone who listens to music for long periods of time, I really recommend this. Your hearing matters!
