Calaboka connects to your Spotify player to silence ads played between tracks. Its background service discreetly monitors Spotify without getting in your way. When an ad starts to play, Spotify is muted immediately. When the next track begins, the volume is faded back in. You can open the Calaboka app to see what's going on, including how many ads you were spared from.
Installation note: If the install fails with error "experimental feature disabled", please run the following command and try again: sudo snap set system experimental.user-daemons=true
Release notes:
Disclaimer: Calaboka cannot mute ads built into a track (such as ads inside a podcast), skip ads, nor block visual ads. And it only works with the official Spotify app installed from the Snap Store or via the snap command.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install Calaboka, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install calaboka
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
