Open Spotify and Apple Music links in SoundCloud.

Patois takes a Spotify or Apple Music link and opens SoundCloud on a search for that song, so all you have to do is tap the result.

It's a search, not a direct link

SoundCloud's lookup is part of a paid plan, so Patois can't ask for the exact track. It opens SoundCloud's own search with the details already filled in.

Podcasts don't open in SoundCloud yet, so a podcast link stays where it is.

On iPhone and iPad

  1. Get Patois from TestFlight, open it once and pick SoundCloud.
  2. In Settings › Apps › Safari › Extensions, turn on Patois and allow the websites it asks for.
  3. Tap a Spotify or Apple Music link. Safari passes it to Patois, and it opens in SoundCloud.

If a link opens in another app, or you'd rather not use Safari, long-press it and choose Share › Patois.

On a computer

  • Chrome: add Patois from the Chrome Web Store and pin it to the toolbar. Click its icon, pick SoundCloud, then click Spotify or Apple Music links as usual.
  • Mac: get Patois from TestFlight and open it once. In Safari › Settings › Extensions, turn on Patois and allow the websites it asks for.
