Spotube

Spotube is a qt based lightweight spotify client which uses nodegui/react-nodegui as frontend & nodejs as backend. 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 & seemless with default desktop themes (Win10, Win7, OSX, QT-default)
  • 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)

Installation

I'm always releasing newer versions of binary of the software each 2-3 month with minor changes & each 6-8 month with major changes. Grab the binaries

Windows: .exe

OSX: I hate apple (Just kidding, actually don't have a mac)

Linux: .appimage

I'll/try to upload the package binaries to linux debian/arch/ubuntu/snap/flatpack/redhat stores or software centers or repositories
