An open source, cross-platform Spotify client that doesn't require Premium nor uses Electron!
That uses Spotify's data/discovery API and YouTube (or Piped.video) as audio source
- π« No ads, thanks to the use of public & free Spotify and YT Music APIsΒΉ
- β¬οΈ Downloadable tracks
- π₯οΈ π± Cross-platform support
- πͺΆ Small size & less data usage
- π΅οΈ Anonymous/guest login
- π Time synced lyrics
- β No telemetry, diagnostics or user data collection
- π Native performance
- π Open source/libre software
- π Playback control is done locally, not on the server
ΒΉ It is still recommended to support the creators by watching/liking/subscribing to the artists' YouTube channels or liking their tracks on Spotify (or purchasing a Spotify Premium subscription too).
- π£οΈ Spotify Shows & Podcasts: Shows and Podcasts can never be supported because the audio tracks are only available on Spotify and accessing them would require Spotify Premium.
- π§ Spotify Listen Along: Coming soon!
New releases usually appear after 3-4 months.
