Hey all,
I wanted to share an exciting lockdown-project that I’ve been working on called Tempo, an open-source and lightweight music client built specifically for Subsonic servers on Android.
Tempo puts you, the user, at the center of your music listening experience. With a sleek and intuitive interface, Tempo enhances your music journey based on your listening history, randomness, and even integrates with Last.fm for optional scrobbling support.
Key Features of Tempo:
- Seamless integration with your Subsonic server.
- Clean and user-friendly interface.
- Stream music directly from your Subsonic server, with offline mode (actively being developed).
- Create, edit, and manage playlists.
- Gapless playback.
- Rudimentary Chromecast support for streaming to compatible devices.
- Optional Last.fm integration for scrobbling, if supported by your Subsonic server.
- Activate transcoding on your server to optimize streaming with a transcoding profile.
Tempo is currently in the alpha phase of development, and as the sole developer behind the project, I’m actively working on improving the app. Your understanding and patience are greatly appreciated.
If you find Tempo useful, please consider supporting the project by starring it on GitHub. Your stars help promote the app to a wider audience and encourage further development.
Check out some screenshots of Tempo here. I’m excited to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you may have.
Let’s build Tempo into the go-to music client for Subsonic on Android, together!

Self hosting music is still on my TODO list, I’ll check this out later. BTW, what is Scrobbling?
I can recommend Navidrome as a server. I’ve had great experience with it.
Scrobbling with Last.FM (or ListenBrainz, depends on the server) means keeping track of the music you listen to by saving your listening session.
In fact, at the end of each track you will tell the server “hey, right now I just finished listening to this song” and it will contact Last.FM to keep track of it. Useful for keeping a history of the music listened to over the years.
And I strongly encourage you to host your own music server, Navidrome and Gonic are my top picks!
