Get the desktop app.

spotatui Desktop is the same player in its own window, for Windows, macOS and Linux. Spotify signs in with one pairing code: no developer app and no client ID. Spotify needs Premium, and the free sources need no account.

The first start

Your system warns once.

The installers are not signed yet. On Windows, SmartScreen says "Windows protected your PC": click More info, then Run anyway.

On macOS, close the dialog, open System Settings > Privacy & Security, click Open Anyway next to the spotatui message, and confirm.

On Linux the app needs glibc 2.39 and WebKitGTK 4.1: Ubuntu 24.04 or newer, Debian 13, Fedora 40 or newer, or Arch. Installed from the Windows installer, the macOS app or the AppImage, it updates itself. A .deb or .rpm install updates with a new download. Desktop app docs.

Prefer the terminal?

The terminal app installs with one command. It shares the login, settings and history of the desktop app.
