Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying to find a community-made GitHub project that can fill the gap left by Soggfy, which I used daily until it stopped getting updates.

What I am looking for is something focused on Spotify, since its library is much larger than most alternatives and my Likes include local artists and bands that are not available elsewhere.

I have already done some digging online, but most of what I found was dead ends or tools that did not really match what I need. I also tried a few similar options, but none of them felt like a proper replacement.

Ideally, I am looking for a tool that:

Is free and maintained by the community on GitHub Works directly with Spotify as the main source Offers Spotify as a primary or alternative source in its download options

If anyone knows of a tool that fits this use case, I would really appreciate the recommendation.

    Random, but why even bother with Spotify in 2026? Ytm has larger library, the audio quality isn’t worse anymore (I even hear some songs sound better on YTM), feels like there are more plugins/extensions for anything YouTube. There are also playlist downloaders so you can organize your library locally.

    Recently started using this with the lyrics addon and it just looks so visually pleasing, unlike Spotify.

        I think YTM is doing some internal tuning where the same song just sounds juicier/better on YTM than it does on Spotify. Same actually applies to YTM vs literally the same upload on YouTube.

        You can’t get lossless with any spotify mod. All spotify mods are capped at free account quality (128kbps iirc) because spotify api premium check happens server side.

        Any mod that says otherwise is a scam at best, malware at worst.

        Note: i’m only talking about spotify custom apk mods. Local lossless download tools are legit and can download lossless (eg votify) with a premium paid account.
