Features


  • Subsonic Integration: Tempus seamlessly integrates with your Subsonic server, providing you with easy access to your entire music collection on the go.

  • Sleek and Intuitive UI: Enjoy a clean and user-friendly interface designed to enhance your music listening experience, tailored to your preferences and listening history.

  • Browse and Search: Easily navigate through your music library using various browsing and searching options, including artists, albums, genres, playlists, decades and more.

  • Streaming and Offline Mode: Stream music directly from your Subsonic server. Offline mode is currently under active development and may have limitations when using multiple servers.

  • Gapless Playback: Experience uninterrupted playback with gapless listening mode.

  • ReplayGain: Volume normalization, preamp offset and clipping prevention if your metadata provide the information.

  • Scrobbling Integration: Optionally integrate Tempus with Last.fm or Listenbrainz.org to scrobble your played tracks, gather music insights, and further personalize your music recommendations, if supported by your Subsonic server.

  • Podcasts: If your Subsonic server supports it, listen to podcasts directly within Tempus, expanding your audio entertainment options.

  • Radio: Tempus can now also search and save Internet radio stations on local device even without a backend subsonic api support.

  • Instant Mix: Full refactor of instant mix function which leverages subsonics similarSongs2 by artist/album and similarSongs endpoints to server a larger play queue more reliably.

  • Transcoding Support: Activate transcoding of tracks on your Subsonic server, allowing you to set a transcoding profile for optimized streaming directly from the app. This feature requires support from your Subsonic server.

  • Multiple Libraries: Tempus handles multi-library setups gracefully. They are displayed as Library folders.

  • Equalizer: Option to use built-in or third-party equalizer.

  • Widget: New widget to keeping the basic controls on your screen at all times.

  • Available in 14 languages: Currently in Basque, Catalan, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russion, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latam) and Turkish
