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:

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.

      the github version has android auto/chromecast support. I don’t think it works with grapheneos - people use the degoogled version for that os and it doesn’t generally support the google libraries.

        I don’t know much about android google libraries but I have Android Auto enabled and some apps work (maps, whatsapp) but tempus doesn’t (using github). I have to try with another sonic music player that allows it.

        Anyway thanks for the effort and merry Christmas.

          It does work if you use the github version, not the degoogled version. There’s also a few things you need to do detailed here in order for a non appstore app to work.
