For Spotify Premium
Stay in the music.
Talk can wait.
OnlySongs quietly watches your Spotify. When a podcast or audiobook starts on your phone, laptop, car or speaker, it slips the song you chose back in.
Needs Spotify Premium and a free Spotify developer app. Setup takes a few minutes, and we walk you through every step.
How it works
Set it once. Then forget it’s there.
- 1
Connect your Spotify
Create a free Spotify developer app and paste two keys. The guided setup takes you through each step.
- 2
Choose your song
Pick a track, playlist or album to come back to. Search Spotify or paste a link.
- 3
Stay in your flow
On a timer you set, OnlySongs checks what’s playing. A podcast or audiobook gives way to your song on the same device.
On your terms
Quiet when you want it. Out of the way when you don’t.
Quiet hours
Let podcasts play during the hours you choose, like your evening walk.
An allow list
Keep the few shows and audiobooks you love. Everything else steps aside.
Every device
It works through your Spotify account, so phone, laptop, car and speaker all follow the same rule.
Honest about timing
Spotify doesn’t announce what starts playing, so a podcast can run until the next check. At the default one-minute timer, that’s about 30 seconds on average.
What you’ll need
- Spotify Premium. Spotify only lets apps control playback on Premium accounts.
- A free app on Spotify’s developer dashboard. It belongs to you, and you can revoke it any time.
- A few minutes. Setup opens Spotify for you and gives you everything to copy.
