From the README
Spotify, native and fast. A lightweight music app for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Spotifast is a Spotify client written in Rust with egui and fastframe, the framework behind a family of native desktop apps. It plays music through librespot, typically uses 100–250 MB of RAM, starts in well under a second, and has no browser engine.
The interface includes complete translations for all supported languages.
Playback needs Spotify Premium. Free accounts can browse and search, but cannot play music through Spotifast.
