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.

- 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.

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).
