Get SpotiDown – $4.99
2

Open the Downloaded File

When the download is finished, swipe down your notification tray and tap spotidown.apk. Alternatively, open your browser's Downloads menu or your phone's Files app and tap the file.

3

Allow "Install Unknown Apps"

If you have not sideloaded an APK from Chrome or your browser before, Android will ask for permission:

Prompt: "For your security, your phone is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source."
👉 Tap Settings → Toggle "Allow from this source" → Tap the back button.
4

Google Play Protect: Tap "Install Anyway"

Google Play Protect may show a warning like "Unrecognized app" or "Blocked by Play Protect" because SpotiDown is hosted independently on our website rather than the Play Store.

👉 Tap "More details" (or "See more") → Tap "Install anyway".

SpotiDown is 100% clean, verified, and free of spyware, malware, or ads.

5

Open SpotiDown & Enjoy Offline Music!

Tap Open once the install is complete. When prompted, allow music/storage access so SpotiDown can save 320kbps MP3s directly to your device's Music/SpotiDown folder.

🎉 Done! Copy any Spotify track, album, or playlist link and start downloading offline music!

Run the installer: "Windows protected your PC"

3

Paste a link & download

Open SpotiDown from the Start menu or desktop shortcut, paste any Spotify track, album or playlist link and click Download. MP3s are saved to Music\SpotiDown (change it in Settings).

💡 Prefer no installer? Download SpotiDown-Windows-Portable.zip instead, extract it and run SpotiDown.exe.

🍎 Install on Mac macOS 11 Big Sur or newer

1

Download the right file for your Mac

From your Gumroad receipt, download SpotiDown-macOS-arm64.dmg for Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3, M4) or SpotiDown-macOS-x86_64.dmg for Intel Macs. Not sure? Open the Apple menu → About This Mac: "Chip: Apple M…" means Apple Silicon.

2

Drag SpotiDown to Applications

Double-click the .dmg file, then drag the SpotiDown icon onto the Applications folder.

3

First launch: allow it in Privacy & Security

Because SpotiDown is distributed outside the Mac App Store, macOS asks you to confirm the first time you open it.

👉 Open SpotiDown once and click Done on the warning → open System Settings → Privacy & Security → scroll down and click "Open Anyway" next to SpotiDown → confirm with Open Anyway. You only need to do this once.
4

Paste a link & download

Paste any Spotify track, album or playlist link and click Download. MP3s are saved to Music/SpotiDown and open straight into Apple Music, VLC or any player.
