Spotube is a [Flutter](https://flutter.dev) based lightweight spotify client. It utilizes the power of Spotify & Youtube's public API & creates a hazardless, performant & resource friendly User Experience
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
Following are the features that currently spotube offers:
|
|
|
|
- Open Source
|
|
- No telementry, diagnostics or user data collection
|
|
- Lightweight & resource friendly
|
|
- Near native performance (Thanks to Flutter+Skia)
|
|
- Playback control is on user's machine instead of server based
|
|
- Small size & less data hungry
|
|
- No spotify or youtube ads since it uses all public & free APIs (But it's recommended to support the creators by watching/liking/subscribing to the artists youtube channel or add as favourite track in spotify. Mostly buying spotify premium is the best way to support their valuable creations)
|
|
- Lyrics
|
|
- Downloadable track (WIP)
|
|
|
|
## Requirements (Linux🐧 only)
