This is a very polished product. Surprisingly so
Show threadEvil_ShrubberyMar 29

Oh, you weren’t kidding, it really is!

Even github is very respectable.

It says it draws from YouTube Music. Do you have to be a subscriber?
Show threadrafssunnyMar 29
no, and you don’t even need to log in to use it.
Show threadPMmeTrebuchetsMar 29
Ohhhh I’m so downloading this. Ty!
Show threadTangent5280Mar 29
So, like spotube? Does it also use the same download mechanisms in the background?
Show threadrose56Mar 29
Bro I have spotube, but after some time it got unusable. Loved it tho.
Show threadVikMar 29
appears to be similar to innertune / metrolist. I use the latter and adore it.
Show threadDelascasMar 29
Another big upvote for Metrolist. IMO its the best of them.
Show threadShady_ShiroeMar 30

In the README under Acknowledgements, they credit Metrolist for base framework.

In other news, I’m satisfied with metrolist so I don’t see a need to switch, has been a much better experience than spotube even before their refactor cuz of Spotify lawyers.

There are a couple of good ones that does the same. Either fetching from YouTube or Savnn. I use OuterTune.

Very nice, thank you for sharing! Haven’t heard of this one before. Always down to get rid of a Google service. Sadly I’ve yet to find a YouTube solution better than Morphe.
Show threaddihutenosaMar 29
How exactly are you getting rid of Google with this? The music is still loaded from Google servers, thus subject to blocking or disappearing.
Show threadtimhayes1991Mar 29
I suppose, but I don’t need a Google account for it!

Is it a RiMusic child such as Kreate?
Show threadtehsYsMar 29
Wow, looks amazing, going to try instead of revanced.

Noob here. I can never find the apks on github. Anyone able to teach me to fish? 😟
Show threadTheMissingNumberMar 29
I had the same problem and are using Obtainium for most of my apps as of now.
Obtainium

Obtainium allows you to install and update apps directly from their release pages, and receive notifications when new releases are made available.

if you haven’t been able to, their website has a direct link to download the apk. link

What about Github Store?
GitHub Store — The app store for GitHub releases

Discover, install, and update open-source apps directly from GitHub releases.

looks kind of similar to Vivi, but seems even more polished.
Show threadrose56Mar 29
Cool thanks!!!
Show threadculpableMar 29
I try last week, work perfectly on Android but not on Android Auto.
Show threadpineappleMar 30
I just want to take a moment to reflect on how nice the material you UI looks.
Show threadblinfabianMar 30
when you login with google, doesnt that ruin the “privacy” part? pls fill me in
Show threadrafssunnyMar 30
you don’t need to log in to use the app.
Show threadblinfabianMar 30
no i know, but because its an option thats just something i was wondering
Show threadMagiilaroMar 30

The login is a great Option for people like me who have a youtube account, in my case with premium even, but prefere the features and design of this app over the official one.

In this case privacy, in regards of my music taste and hearing patterns, is something I don’t care about much.

Show threadThisIsABlandUsernameMar 30
Some people are ok with that. Privacy is not an all or nothing ideal, it’s a spectrum. Some people want privacy in some areas but are ok with none in others.
Show threadAlvaroMar 30
It is using youtube music as the source, FYI
Show threadNGC2346Mar 30
Thinking of ditching the iPhone for this app alone
Show threadblinfabianMar 30
for most songs it just says i need to log in to confirm im not a bot, so i logged in but the error persists. anyone else had this happen? if so, how to fix?
Show threadsakurabaMar 30

AI vibe coded app just to consume APIs…

You are better off pirating music and using any local music player on your phone

Show threadropatrick2d ago
Am I right that it is not for Spotify despite what it says in OP? Git page refers to YT music only?
