Tempus is an open-source and lightweight music client for Subsonic, designed and built natively for Android.

This app works with any service that implements the Subsonic API, including:

https://github.com/eddyizm/tempus/releases/tag/v4.6.0

My last release post was for v4.2.4 so I’ve included whats changed since that post.

Highlighting these 4 really lovely features that people have wanted for some time and were well received. Added screenshots for each below

What’s Changed

  • feat: added regular playlist to home view

  • feat: add heart to artist/album pages, fixed artist cover art failing

  • feat: playerqueue fab allowing actions on full play queue Download

  • feat: add play functionality to library folder/index items

  • fix: player queue soft-lock
  • feat: Add Catalan language
  • performance: Refactor MediaService
  • chore: Update Spanish translation
  • chore: Update Italian translation
  • chore: Add clickable Obtainium badge to README
  • fix: refactor start queue to put the db writing in the background all , save to playlist, shuffle, clean and if enabled, load queue.
  • chore: Update Polish translation
  • fix: updates to starred syncing to user defined directory which was saving the tracks to internal storage and not a shared location
  • fix: handle empty albums and null mappings
  • feat: integrate sort recent searches chronologically
  • chore: Update description_empty_title in English, Italian, Polish French and Spanish
  • fix: checks preference and writes files externally, updates the ui for playerqueue downloads

note app-tempo* <- The github release with all the android auto/chromecast features

app-degoogled* <- The izzyOnDroid release that goes without any of the google stuff.

As usual, any dev contributions appreciated as I am not actually a java/mobile dev, so my progress is significantly slower than those who do this on the daily.

Big thanks to all the folks who have been contributing. We have a new icon designed but I could use some help if anyone wants to do a PR to implement it.

    I self host Navidrome, and after deploying one or two companion apps for Navidrome, I’m right now digging Substreamer. I have never heard of Tempus, so I have added it to the ‘apps to try’ list. One of the features of Substreamer that I really enjoy is the Playlist Builder. Substreamer apparently goes through your collection and pre-creates playlists based on commonalities like genre, tags, etc. Let’s say that you click on the Blues playlist. It then has the Blues master playlist broken down into All Time, Recent, 2010+, etc. After you listen to/edit the playlist, you can save it to Navidrome. I find this feature to be quite handy and it just works very well for me. Not only can I physically make playlists in Navidrome, but in Substreamer automatically as well.

    Saying all of that to say, does Tempus have any such feature? Like I said, I’ve never heard of Tempus, which really doesn’t mean much, but it looks very well put together. I’m sure OP didn’t set out to make Tempus a Substreamer copycat, I just find that one feature of Substreamer very handy.

      You can create and edit playlists on Tempus (currently working on overhauling this aspect of the app) however it does not have that playlist builder style thing. It can take your created playqueue and save it to a playlist. I’ve used substreamer in the past but it does not seem , at least on android, to have been updated in over 2 years now.
