Tempus is an open-source, privacy focused and lightweight music client for Subsonic, designed and built natively for Android. It provides a seamless and intuitive music streaming experience, allowing you to access and play your Subsonic music library directly from your Android device.

Features

Subsonic Integration: Tempus seamlessly integrates with your Subsonic server, providing you with easy access to your entire music collection on the go.

Sleek and Intuitive UI: Enjoy a clean and user-friendly interface designed to enhance your music listening experience, tailored to your preferences and listening history.

Browse and Search: Easily navigate through your music library using various browsing and searching options, including artists, albums, genres, playlists, decades and more.

Streaming and Offline Mode: Stream music directly from your Subsonic server. Offline mode is currently under active development and may have limitations when using multiple servers.

Playlist Management: Create, edit, and manage playlists to curate your perfect music collection.

Gapless Playback: Experience uninterrupted playback with gapless listening mode.

ReplayGain: Volume normalization, preamp offset and clipping prevention if your metadata provide the information.

Scrobbling Integration: Optionally integrate Tempus with Last.fm or Listenbrainz.org to scrobble your played tracks, gather music insights, and further personalize your music recommendations, if supported by your Subsonic server.

Podcasts: If your Subsonic server supports it, listen to podcasts directly within Tempus, expanding your audio entertainment options.

Radio: Tempus can now also search and save Internet radio stations on local device even without a backend subsonic api support.

Instant Mix: Full refactor of instant mix function which leverages subsonics similarSongs2 by artist/album and similarSongs endpoints to server a larger play queue more reliably.

Transcoding Support: Activate transcoding of tracks on your Subsonic server, allowing you to set a transcoding profile for optimized streaming directly from the app. This feature requires support from your Subsonic server.

Multiple Libraries: Tempus handles multi-library setups gracefully. They are displayed as Library folders.

Equalizer: Option to use built-in or third-party equalizer.

Widget: New widget to keeping the basic controls on your screen at all times.

Available in 14 languages: Currently in Basque, Catalan, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russion, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latam) and Turkish

Chromecast/Android Auto Not Supported: These features require google libraries and are only available in the github apk.

WhatsNew:

feat: add a music library switcher so browsing and search can be scoped to one library
fix: a crash when the server reports no playlists
fix: guard app bar offset listeners against a null view binding
Add Basque/Japanese language support

Download Source Issues ChangeLog

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
