Everything you need to know about installing, configuring and using EeveeSpotify to its full potential.
EeveeSpotify can be installed using one of two methods: IPA sideloading or as a jailbreak tweak. Choose the method that best suits your device and situation.
Get the latest IPA file from our downloads page or the GitHub releases.
Options include:
On your iOS device, go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management, find your Apple ID, and tap "Trust".
With a free Apple ID, sideloaded apps will expire after 7 days and need to be re-sideloaded. To avoid this, you can:
Make sure you have the official Spotify app installed from the App Store.
Download the appropriate EeveeSpotify DEB file for your device architecture and the SwiftProtobuf dependency from our downloads page.
Open the Spotify app and you should now have premium features activated.
EeveeSpotify offers several configuration options to customize your experience. Here's how to access and modify them.
Launch the Spotify app with EeveeSpotify installed.
Tap on your profile icon in the top-left corner, then tap on the gear icon (⚙️) to access Settings.
Scroll down to find the "EeveeSpotify" section in the settings menu.
| Setting | Options | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Premium Patching | Static Dynamic | Choose how EeveeSpotify patches premium features. Dynamic is more stable and recommended. |
| Lyrics Provider | Musixmatch Genius LRCLIB | Select which service to use for lyrics. Each provider offers different features. |
| Do Not Patch Premium | On Off | Enable if you have a legitimate Premium subscription. Prevents EeveeSpotify from interfering. |
| Lyrics Colors | On Off | Enable or disable colored lyrics for a more vibrant experience. |
| LRCLIB Server Address | Custom URL | Specify a custom LRCLIB server address if you're using that lyrics provider. |
| Musixmatch Token | Custom Token | Add your Musixmatch token to enable time-synced lyrics with Musixmatch provider. |
One of EeveeSpotify's unique features is the ability to choose from different lyrics providers, each offering different capabilities and content.
| Provider | Time-Sync | Annotations | Availability | Token Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Musixmatch | Excellent | |||
| Genius | Very Good | |||
| LRCLIB | Good | |||
| PetitLyrics | Limited |
To use Musixmatch with time-synced lyrics, you need to obtain a token from the Musixmatch app.
Get the official Musixmatch Lyrics Finder app from the App Store.
Create an account or log in to your existing Musixmatch account.
Tap on your profile and go to the Settings menu.
Scroll down → Tap "Get Help" → Tap "Copy debug info".
Go to EeveeSpotify settings → Select Musixmatch as provider → Paste token when prompted.
Musixmatch offers the best synced lyrics experience and has the largest database of songs. It's highly recommended if you enjoy sing-along style lyrics.
LRCLIB is a community-driven lyrics database that provides time-synced lyrics without requiring a token.
In EeveeSpotify settings, choose LRCLIB as your lyrics provider.
If you want to use an alternative LRCLIB server, tap on "LRCLIB Server Address" and enter the URL.
LRCLIB servers can occasionally go down or experience outages. If you experience issues, try switching to another lyrics provider or check if the server is online.
Encountering issues with EeveeSpotify? Here are solutions to common problems users may experience.
If your Spotify app crashes immediately upon launching, try these solutions:
Download the latest version of EeveeSpotify that matches your Spotify app version.
Make sure you've installed the required SwiftProtobuf dependency (for jailbreak method).
Delete and reinstall the Spotify app, then reapply EeveeSpotify.
If premium features are not working as expected, try these steps:
Switch to the Dynamic patching method in EeveeSpotify settings.
If you're using the Static method, try restarting the app when prompted.
Make sure "Do Not Patch Premium" option is disabled if you don't have a legitimate Premium subscription.
If lyrics aren't displaying for songs, try these solutions:
Try changing to a different lyrics provider in the settings.
For Musixmatch, make sure you've added a valid token.
Check if lyrics are available for the specific song (not all songs have lyrics available).
For sideloaded IPA installations that expire after 7 days:
This is normal behavior for free Apple ID sideloading. You need to re-sideload every 7 days.
Consider using AltStore with AltDaemon for automatic refreshing.
Alternatively, use a paid signing service or a paid Apple Developer account for 1-year certificates.
If you're still experiencing issues, you can seek help from the community:
For more technical users, here are some advanced configurations and options for EeveeSpotify.
The OpenSpotifySafariExtension allows Spotify links from websites to open directly in your EeveeSpotify app.
Get the OpenSpotifySafariExtension.appex from the GitHub repository.
Unzip the IPA file using an archive utility.
Copy the .appex file to /Payload/Spotify.app/Plugins/
Compress the Payload folder, rename to Spotify.ipa, and sideload.
Go to Settings > Safari > Extensions > Open in Spotify and toggle it ON.
Change permission from "Ask" to "Allow".
Once enabled, clicking on Spotify links in Safari will open them directly in the EeveeSpotify app rather than the web player.
You can have both an App Store version and a sideloaded EeveeSpotify version installed simultaneously.
When using multiple Spotify installations, be careful with login sessions as they might interfere with each other. It's best to use different accounts on each app.
