Notices
Download Free Spotify App
- Toastify is not a Spotify replacement. You need both running at the same time.
Windows 10: In the latest versions of Windows, SmartScreen will probably prevent the installer from starting, because it is not signed.
You have two options: either Don’t run the installer and forget about Toastify, or click on More info and Run anyway.
Whatever is your choice, I strongly advise you to not disable Windows SmartScreen — its warnings are meaningful.If you have any concerns, feel free to take a look at the code (it’s free ) and ask questions in the issues section.
