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

Btw it's not just another Electron app 😉

---

🌃 Features

• 🚫 No ads, thanks to the use of public & free Spotify and YT Music APIs¹
• ⬇️ Freely 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 creators by engaging with their YouTube channels/Spotify tracks (or preferably by buying their merch/concert tickets/physical media).

❌ Unsupported features

• 🗣️ Spotify Shows & Podcasts: Shows and Podcasts will never be supported because the audio tracks are only available on Spotify and accessing them would require Spotify Premium.
