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

---

🌃 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!
