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.

    It might be a bit out of scope (at least for now) but something I’d love to see eventually is the ability to pull down weekly recommendations from ListenBrainz and view them natively in-app. Even if they just linked to the YouTube video, it would make self hosting music feel like it had the last remaining benefits of streaming services.

      You might be interested in Tapesonic then (a shameless plug). Streaming YouTube stuff is borked though (needs newer yt-dlp - you can try rebuilding the container yourself with a new alpine version); also grabbing non-library tracks is not supported for ListenBrainz for now (their API doesn’t return the URLs, I’ll work around this in the future; meanwhile you can still get the playlists of the stuff you already have in your library).

      I use the listenbrainz feature that you mentioned but it would be better if it was wrapped in a standard opensonic api endpoint I think. I agree that self hosting is lacking it and it seems there are lots of people creating different solutions. in addition, I’d like to get a bandcamp mix as that is where i tend to go explore myself.
