What's different
Offline by default
Every online lookup is off until you turn it on. Nothing phones home behind your back.
No proprietary bits
No Firebase, no Crashlytics, no Play billing, no Google Play Services dependencies.
Self-hosted streaming
Stream from your own server: Navidrome, Subsonic, and Jellyfin are the only cloud sources.
GPLv3 licensed
Free as in freedom. Audit it, fork it, build it yourself — the whole player, no blobs.
