Getting Started

Downtify is a self-hosted web app that downloads music from Spotify — no API keys, no account, no Premium subscription required. Everything runs inside a single Docker container.

What you need

  • Docker (or Docker Compose) — the only requirement on the host machine
  • A machine with internet access
  • A volume/directory where you want your music saved

Choose your setup

  • Docker run

    The fastest way to get started. One command, up in under a minute.

    Installation →

  • Docker Compose

    Recommended for persistent setups. Easier to update and manage.
