What is Fastpotify?
A lightweight Spotify client with local playback, library access, and Spotify Connect controls for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Lightweight: A native binary with no browser engine. It starts in well under a second and typically uses 100–250 MB of RAM.
- Spotify Connect: Play locally, gapless and at up to 320 kbps, or control playback on a speaker, phone, or TV from the same window.
- Library and search: Browse playlists, Liked Songs, albums, artists, and podcasts. Search the catalogue and edit playlists you own.
- Themes: Use light, dark, or system mode. Pages and the player bar can take their colour from the album art.
- Winamp mini player: Ctrl+M opens a small player for classic Winamp 2 skins, with a spectrum analyser, equalizer, and playlist.
- MilkDrop: Run projectM’s MilkDrop visualiser in its own window, with fullscreen, preset packs, and keyboard controls.
- Desktop controls: Keyboard shortcuts, MPRIS media controls on Linux, and a tray option that keeps music playing after you close the window.
- Open source: MIT-licensed Rust built with egui and librespot. The docs explain its connections and stored credentials.
