A mobile app that detects and removes AI-generated tracks from your Spotify playlists before you hear them

Spotify's Discover Weekly and Release Radar are being flooded with AI-generated music at a rate of roughly 20,000 tracks per day (about 18% of all new uploads). Spotify removed 75 million spam tracks in one year yet refuses to add any native user filter. A 2,900-engagement feature request on Spotify's own community board has been open for years with no response. This app connects to a user's Spotify account via OAuth, scans their personalized playlists and Liked Songs, cross-references tracks against a crowdsourced plus ML-detected AI-music database, and lets users auto-remove, quarantine, or soft-label suspected AI tracks before playback. The core value is restoring the integrity of algorithmic discovery playlists that users already pay for.

Read-only analytics, no Spotify playlist mutation..
