  "github_readme_excerpt": "# Announcement\n\nAt the moment I do not build releases with fixes, as there is no possibility to notarize the application (my personal subscription to Apple Developer Program expired). :) But you can take sources from master branch and build the application by yourself.\n\n# Intro\n\nBeardie is a utility that allows you to control various media players with your keyboard. It is a fork of the [BeardedSpice project](https://github.com/beardedspice/beardedspice). \n\nIt allows you to manage web based players (*SoundCloud*, *YouTube* ... [List of supported sites to date](#supported-sites)), native application players (*Apple Music*, *Spotify* ...) and Sonos systems. \n\nBeardie is more than just play/pause, it has some additional controls that add to the convenience. You can keep several player applications open, and several tabs of several browsers with web players, since Beardie \"understands\" what exactly you want to control at the moment. :) It also allows you to easily switch between running (open) players.\n\n# Users Guide\n\n[![Beardie](images/bs.png)](images/bs.png)\n\n## Install\n\n**Mac OS X 10.15 or greater required.**\n\nYou can download the [latest release here](https://github.com/Stillness-2/beardie/releases/latest), or find a full list of all our [previously released binaries here](https://github.com/Stillness-2/beardie/releases).\n\nIn order for the Beardie to control web players, you need to enable the **Enable Browser Extensions** option in the `General` tab of the Beardie Preferences (available through the menubar icon).\n\n![Extensions](images/exts.png)\n\nThe Beardie will offer to install a self-signed certificate in the keychain, this certificate will be used to encrypt the exchange between the application and the extensions. The exchange takes place over the WebSockets over SSL/TLS protocol.\n\nYou should also install the extension in the browser you are using.\n\n![Get Extensions](images/get_exts.png)\n\nThe **Google Chrome** extension can be installed in other browsers that su",
