About ncspot

ncspot is a ncurses Spotify client written in Rust using
librespot. It is heavily inspired by ncurses MPD clients, such as ncmpc.

A simple and resource friendly alternative to the official client,
which also supports platforms that currently don't have a Spotify client,
such as the *BSDs.

Note that ncspot offers features that are legally incompatible with
free Spotify accounts.
You must have an existing premium Spotify subscription to use ncspot.

Release info Update on Oct 01, 2026
Release notes Added
• Vim-like command completion by pressing Tab
• Support Vim-style numeric count prefixes for keybindings (e.g. 10j moves
down 10 rows); the pending count is shown in the status bar
• Add a proxy configuration option that routes all of ncspot's network
traffic (access point, Spotify APIs, OAuth and cover art downloads) through
a single proxy. Supports HTTP CONNECT proxies and SOCKS5 proxies with
remote DNS resolution (socks5h://), both with optional credentials.
Without this option, the http_proxy environment variable is still
honoured as before.
• Replace already existing queue notifications instead of stacking new ones.
