Orpheon is a native Android, Android TV and Wear OS app that plays your own Spotify account, so you get Spotify's library and your playlists in a Jetpack Compose interface instead of the official app. It is a community continuation of the app formerly called Myspoti, built for people who want more control over playback, lyrics and downloads than the official Spotify app offers.
Developer: kota-zo · License: GPL-3.0 (open source) · Price: Free
Before you start: pick the right APK for your device from the release page. Most phones from the last ten years should use the ARMv8 build; older 32-bit phones need ARMv7 (check with an app like CPU-Z or Device Info); Android TV and Google TV users should get the TV build. Android will ask once to allow installs from your browser or file manager, since the app is not from Google Play.

Why isn’t Orpheon on Google Play?
Orpheon is a third-party client that plays music through Spotify's own web player hidden inside the app, which is not something Google Play allows, so it is published by its developer on GitHub instead.
Is Orpheon safe?
Orpheon is open source under the GPL-3.0 license and the APKs come straight from the developer's GitHub releases page. You sign in on Spotify's own login page so Orpheon never sees your password, but note that downloads and extensions are third-party scripts you install at your own discretion, and using the app to block ads goes against Spotify's Terms of Use. Orpheon comes straight from its developer rather than through Google Play, so it hasn’t gone through Google’s app review. As with any app, check the permissions it asks for and install it if you’re comfortable with them.
How to install
- Tap the download button above: the APK file downloads straight to your phone.
