Synkplay keeps a video playing at the same second on everyone's screen. Pause, and it pauses for the whole room. Seek, and everyone lands in the same place. It is an unofficial client for Syncplay, and it speaks the same protocol as the desktop client, so you can watch with people running either one.

Play files from your own device, or paste a link. The video player is built in, with several engines to choose from: mpv, ExoPlayer and the experimental KitePlayer. Between them they cover nearly every container and codec, with external subtitles, chapters and picture in picture.

What it does

Synchronised play, pause and seek with everyone in the room.
Chat, with GIFs, while you watch.
A shared playlist the whole room moves through together.
Subtitle search and download from OpenSubtitles, plus your own subtitle files.
Host your own server from the app, with no account and no setup.
Managed rooms, where one person holds the controls.
Picture in picture, so the video stays while you do something else.
Themes you can build yourself, and a settings screen that lets you tune almost everything.
Eight languages, and more through Weblate.

Privacy

No account, no analytics, no advertising. The app talks to the server you choose to join, and to a service only when you use the feature that needs it.

Free software under the AGPL 3.0. The source is at github.com/yuroyami/syncplay-mobile.

WhatsNew:

Hosted rooms can now encrypt their connections.

Small drifts are now corrected smoothly, and headset buttons no longer pause the whole room.

Home keeps your recent rooms, and the app says why a connection failed.

The audio visualizer warns about flashing light and follows Reduce motion.

Pick the app's language in Android's per-app language setting.

Also chapters for ExoPlayer, buffering on the seek bar, and many fixes.

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. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).

Libraries:

Android Support v4 (Development Framework)
The Android Support Library is not actually a single library, but rather a collection of libraries that can roughly be divided into two groups: compatibility and component libraries. For details, please see Understanding the Android Support Library.
AppCompat (Utility)
support newer Android features on older Android versions.
Jetpack Compose (Development Framework)
a framework to define UIs programmatically with composable functions that describe its shape and data dependencies.
Androidx Core (Utility)
a static library that you can add to your Android application in order to use APIs that are either not available for older platform versions or utility APIs that aren't a part of the framework APIs.
DataStore (Development Aid)
stores data asynchronously, consistently, and transactionally, overcoming some of the drawbacks of SharedPreferences.
Android Emoji2 Compat (UI Component)
core library to enable emoji compatibility in Kitkat and newer devices to avoid the empty emoji characters.
AndroidX Fragment (UI Component)
AndroidX library to encapsulate part of the user interface or behavior into reusable components.
Androidx Graphics (Utility)
leverages graphics facilities across multiple Android platform releases.
Lifecycle (Utility)
perform actions in response to a change in the lifecycle status of another component, such as activities and fragments.
Loader (Utility)
library to load data for your UI that survives configuration changes.
AndroidX Media (Utility)
share media contents and controls with other apps.
AndroidX Media3 (Utility)
share media contents and controls with other apps.
ProfileInstaller (Utility)
AndroidX library that enables libraries to prepopulate ahead of time compilation traces to be read by ART.
Recyclerview (Utility)
display large sets of data in your UI while minimizing memory usage.
Startup (Utility)
AndroidX library to implement a straightforward, performant way to initialize components at app startup.
Android Jetpack VersionedParcelable (Utility)
Provides a stable but relatively compact binary serialization format that can be passed across processes or persisted safely.
Jetpack WindowManager Library (Utility)
enables application developers to support new device form factors and multi-window environments. The library provides a common API surface for API versions 14 and later. Especially provides additional functionality on foldable devices.
coil (Utility)
Coroutine Image Loader. An image loading library for Android backed by Kotlin Coroutines.
MaterialKolor (Utility)
a Compose multiplatform library for generating dynamic Material3 color schemes from a seed color.
OkHttp (Utility)
OkHttp is an HTTP+HTTP/2 client for Android and Java applications.
FileKit (Utility)
a cross-platform file operations library for Kotlin Multiplatform.
Ktor (Development Framework)
framework for quickly creating connected applications in Kotlin with minimal effort.
Netty Project (Development Framework)
an event-driven asynchronous network application framework.
Kotlin serialization (Utility)
Kotlin cross-platform / multi-format serialization.
Conscrypt (Utility)
a Java Security Provider (JSP) that implements parts of the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) and Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE). It uses BoringSSL to provide cryptographic primitives and Transport Layer Security (TLS) for Java applications on Android and OpenJDK.
Compose Multiplatform (Development Framework)
a declarative framework for sharing UIs across multiple platforms with Kotlin.
Mozilla Rhino (Utility)
open-source implementation of JavaScript written entirely in Java.
NewPipe Extractor (Utility)
a library for extracting things from streaming sites.
KiteFFmpeg (Utility)
KitePlayer (Utility)
libmpvKt (Utility)
