v1.9.1
f213122

Headless-friendly release.

What's new since v1.9.0

  • Headless session sync: on a Pi (or any host without your logged-in browser), a one-liner run on your Mac reads your Flow State session and pushes it to the server via /api/session. The Settings page reflects it live — no refresh.
  • Fixed paid-post unlocking: uses the connect.sid cookie that actually authorizes flowstate.fm (the old substack.sid path didn't).
  • Siri shortcut off a Mac: macOS still signs a personalized shortcut; other hosts offer a pre-signed universal shortcut (edit URL/token on-device) or a ready-to-use unsigned one.
  • Settings UX: Show/Copy on the Spotify secret and session-cookie fields; clearer API-token and shortcut instructions.
  • Startup banner prints the network hostname + LAN IP, not just localhost.

v1.9.0
81f11fa

First public release of Flow Crate — a personal companion app for the Flow State ambient-music newsletter.

Highlights

  • Browse & play: see the latest Flow State posts and play the day's picks on Spotify, optionally on Sonos via a "Hey Siri, play Flow Crate" shortcut.
  • Runs on your own machine: authenticates as you against the newsletter, Spotify, and your local Sonos — no middleman server. Install as a background service (macOS launchd or Linux/Raspberry Pi systemd).
  • Reliable Substack access: automatically borrows your existing browser session to unlock paid posts, with a manual SID fallback.

Install

pipx install git+https://github.com/zizmax/FlowCrate.git
flowcrate

Requires Python 3.10+. The in-app Settings page walks you through Spotify (and optional Sonos/Siri) setup. See the README for Raspberry Pi / Linux instructions.

This is an unofficial personal tool — please subscribe to and support Flow State.
