The Spotify you know, built natively for macOS.
Spotty's main goal is to explore what Spotify would be like as a native Mac app: the familiar layout and everyday listening workflows, with the menus, keyboard shortcuts, and track selection you expect on macOS.
Requires macOS 27 or newer, an Apple Silicon Mac, and Spotify Premium.
- Explore your music. Search Spotify, browse your playlists and Liked Songs, and discover albums and artists through pages built around their artwork.
- Keep the music flowing. Play on your Mac at 320 kbps with gapless transitions and shuffle that favors fewer repeats.
- Make the queue yours. Add tracks to your queue and add or remove songs from playlists you own.
- Choose where it plays. Switch playback between your Mac and Spotify Connect devices.
- No analytics or ads. Spotty connects directly to Spotify, with no Spotty-operated server. Read the privacy details.
