🚨 CRITICAL NOTICE: DOWNLOADS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE 🚨

As of January 2026, downloading from Spotify links is currently broken for most users.

The Cause:

1. API Keys Revoked: The public Spotify API credentials used by Spowlo (and the underlying spotDL engine) have been revoked/banned by Spotify.
2. Spotify Dashboard Lockout: Spotify has globally disabled the creation of new Developer Apps. This means you cannot generate new credentials to fix the issue manually at this moment. (See discussion: Reddit Thread).

Workaround: If you already had a Spotify Developer App created prior to this week, you are one of the lucky ones!

1. Go to Settings > Spotify.
2. Enable "Use custom credentials".
3. Enter your existing Client ID and Client Secret.

For everyone else, we are monitoring the situation and waiting for Spotify to lift the restriction on new app creation. Please do not open new issues regarding "Failed to fetch metadata".

🚀 What's New?

This fork aims to keep Spowlo alive and updated. We have introduced a Unified Dependency Updater that fixes the "ghost version" bugs and ensures that spotDL and yt-dlp are always using the latest and greatest versions, directly from PyPI, without needing frequent APK updates.

⚠️ Content Warning

Spowlo uses YT Music and YouTube to download the songs. This is because Spotify DRM bypassing can lead to an account ban and legal issues. If YT Music isn't available in your country, don't worry, you can still use YouTube as audio provider or use a VPN. We are working on making a regional bypass so don't matter your region. Thank you for understanding.
