This app allows you to play a curated stream of ambient music in the background without any fuss just like you can on iOS! The idea is to have a "set and forget" music player. You hit play, and it handles the rest, providing a seamless stream of ambient tunes. No complex UI or manually creating playlists.

-
Tracks Fetched on Demand The app pulls its song list from a remote JSON file. This means I can update the playlist with new tracks anytime without you needing to update the app!
[ { "url": "song_url", "title": "Laidback Lo-Fi", "artist": "Ambient Music Chill", "albumArtUrl": "chill.jpeg", "genre": "chill" } ] -
Smart Caching To save your data and keep the music flowing even on a spotty connection, the playlist gets cached right on your device. When the app wants to refresh, it grabs the latest JSON from the server.
-
Handy Notification Controls Creates a MediaSession that shows the current track's title, artist, and album art. You can pause, play, and skip right from the notification.
-
QS Tile For super-quick access, you can add a Quick Settings tile! Just like how you'd access it on iOS! Just swipe down and tap the tile to start or stop the music. You don't even have to find the app or the notification.
-
Support for Sleep Timer Want to play some ambient music before bed? Not a problem! Sleep Timer will automatically pause music once set with a timer preset ranging from 5 minutes - 20 minutes with the option to add as many minutes as desired using the notification created by my app. No more overnight battery drain!
Bonus tip: This sleep timer actually works for any media that is being played on the system! -
Built with Modern Technologies This project is built with Kotlin and uses Coroutines to handle the background stuff like fetching music and caching. UI is completely written using Jetpack Compose. Built for Android 16 and supports Material 3 Expressive.
-
Support for multiple form factors Enable navigation siderails when the display gets beyond a certain DPI for optimal user experience even for unconventional form factors and screen sizes.
-
Support for widgets Start playing ambient music straight from your home screen or lock screen using a handy widget! Just like on iOS, you can control the playback from here with the least amount of finger taps!
-
Full offline listening support On a flight? Or somewhere you don't have internet? No worries! Save any and all ambient music genres using the offline listening mode. Just download the genres you would like to save and you're good to go! Play the music using the QS tile or the widget just as you would otherwise.
-
Full Android Auto support Control your Ambient Music straight from the screen on your car!
No interruptions! Safe Drives!
