An open source, cross-platform Spotify client compatible across multiple platforms
utilizing Spotify's data API and YouTube (or Piped.video) as an audio source,
eliminating the need for Spotify Premium

Btw it's not another Electron app😉

---

🌃 Features

• 🚫 No ads, thanks to the use of public & free Spotify and YT Music APIs¹
• ⬇️ Downloadable tracks
• 🖥️ 📱 Cross-platform support
• 🪶 Small size & less data usage
• 🕵️ Anonymous/guest login
• 🕒 Time synced lyrics
• ✋ No telemetry, diagnostics or user data collection
• 🚀 Native performance
• 📖 Open source/libre software
• 🔉 Playback control is done locally, not on the server

¹ 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).

❌ Unsupported features

• 🗣️ 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.
• 🎧 Spotify Listen Along: Coming soon!
