  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • BlockTheSpot

    Discontinued Video, audio & banner adblock/skip for Spotify

  • There's 2 methods to pick from. One is BlocktheSpot and there is the DLL injection method. Supposedly the DLL Injection method is better as it's supposed to be more resistant against auto updates and supposedly more stable. But I've only had experience with BlockTheSpot and I've been using it for a while with auto update disabled and I've been pleased with it. You can also use SpotX which is supposed to be based off of BlockTheSpot but has additional features such as update disabling. You can't go wrong with either just use whichever you prefer. Just follow the instructions linked below and you should be good to go.

  • SpotX

    Discontinued Blocking ads and updates for the desktop version of Spotify, disabling podcasts and something else. [Moved to: https://github.com/SpotX-CLI/SpotX-Win] (by amd64fox)

  • spotify-adblock

    Adblocker for Spotify

  • Honestly you guys are probably smart enough to figure this one out so I’ll just link the GitHub link here. It’s also because I don’t have any Linux machines so I have no experience with this but many on here have said good things about it. Just follow the instructions on the GitHub and you should be fine.

  • SpotX-Mac

    Spotify Ad blocker based on SpotX for MacOS

  • New script has been developed by the authors for SpotX but for mac now. It is linked here and just follow the instructions listed. All credit goes to their respective authors. Before, SpotX for Mac didn't exist so it was a giant pain in the ass to block Spotify ads but that now's it's here it's easier than ever.

  • AltStore

    AltStore is an alternative app store for non-jailbroken iOS devices.

  • https://altstore.io

  • xManager-Spotify

    Discontinued Ad-Free, New Features & Freedom [Moved to: https://github.com/xManager-App/xManager]

  • You guys have it easy you can just use XManager and be set. Or at least when I used android that’s what I used. You just download the APK then install it and pick the latest app version and you are set. Try installing ARMV8 first and if it fails then do ARMV7 assuming it still asks for that in the app.

  • TrollStore

    Jailed iOS app that can install IPAs permanently with arbitary entitlements and root helpers because it trolls Apple

  • link to TrollStore: is an alternative to AltStore for the unjailbroken iPhone users under iOS15.4.1. No resigns, better than AltStore, can install the TrollStore and the Spotilife IPA without a computer!

  • spotube

    🎧 Open source Spotify client that doesn't require Premium nor uses Electron! Available for both desktop & mobile!

  • I'd like to share a Spotify client alternative I've been using for a while now and it's pretty decent. Available on Android, Windows macOS, Linux. Spotube is an open source client where you get the interface of Spotify, and you can sign in with your Spotify account to see your playlists, but it plays music from YouTube. There are no ads or telemetry. And since it plays music from YouTube, Sponsorblock is built in since there may be songs that have extra parts other than the main music, so it'll skip them. It's not perfect but I think it's a great alternative.
