Forgotify is a music discovery tool that surfaces Spotify tracks barely anyone has played. Click Rescue and hear a song most people have never played — sometimes you're the first listener ever. No account needed.

Forgotify was originally created in 2014 by Lane Jordan, J Hausmann, and Nate Gagnon. It was rebuilt from the ground up in 2026.

Do I need Spotify Premium?

You need Spotify Premium for in-browser playback — this is a Spotify SDK requirement, not a Forgotify one. Free accounts can browse the forgotten-track catalog but can't play tracks in the browser.

How does Forgotify find forgotten songs?

Forgotify digs through the Spotify catalog with niche genre and era searches, filters out anything with meaningful play counts, and scores obscurity using a blend of track popularity, artist popularity, release age, and how niche the query was.

The music
nobody heard,
until now.

A surprising number of Spotify's catalog has never been played to completion. Forgotify finds those tracks and gives them a second life. We built a new discovery engine from scratch, using popularity scores, community listen data, and curated obscurity.
