I've long been a fan of Apple Music—mostly for its powerful smart playlists. Spotify has always been amazing for music discovery, but I've found it lacking when it comes to surfacing my own music collection, especially songs I haven’t listened to in a while.
So I decided to build something I couldn’t find: a personal smart playlist builder for Spotify.
This tool connects to your Spotify account and builds a personal database of:
Your saved albums
Your liked tracks
Your play history (updated every 10 minutes)
Once connected, the system runs daily in the background. You’ll get a web interface where you can define dynamic playlists using smart rules like:
Never played
Most played
Recently added
Liked songs by artist
Limitations: This works best if you treat Spotify like a music library—saving albums or liking tracks. Tracking begins from the day you install it; Spotify does not provide historical playback data.
That said, every song you play from day one is logged—so even if you save a track later, the system knows how many times it was played.

❓ FAQ
Will this delete or change anything in my Spotify account?
No. It only reads data and creates playlists. Your existing data is untouched.
Can I use this on a free Spotify account?
Yes, it works with both free and premium accounts. However, API rate limits apply.
Is my data safe?
Your data (like refresh tokens) is stored securely in your own private PostgreSQL database on Render. This project does not transmit any data elsewhere.
