The friendly avian ad silencer for macOS! Spooffy monitors the Spotify application, and when it notices an ad, silences it for you. It re-enables sound when the ads are done and the next track plays.

• Displays notifications of new tracks playing or when it's silencing ads
• Written entirely in Applescript, no compiler necessary!
• Small and resource-efficient

Just me, but you could try it too and let me know what you think.

I used to use Spotifree but it's now unsupported. I switched to MuteSpotifyAds but it has a bug where it doesn't unmute sometimes. Spooffy was my attempt to figure out how the Applescript Spotify API works, and it ended up working so well I named it.

Launch Spooffy whenever you want to listen to music on Spotify and not hear the ads. And also not pay to have it ad-free. 💸

You can make your own Spooffy!

1. Open Spooffy.applescript in Script Editor (macOS defaults to this action)
2. Make any changes you want
3. Go to File -> Export
4. Choose "File Format: Application"
5. Check the box for "Stay open after run handler"
6. To update the icon, fix up the paths and run the following in your Terminal app:

# put the icon in the app
cp path/to/applet.icns path/to/Spooffy.app/Contents/Resources/
# get macOS to realize it's different
sudo touch path/to/Spooffy.app
sudo touch path/to/Spooffy.app/Contents/Info.plist
sudo killall Dock
