Tempus is an open-source and lightweight music client for Subsonic, designed and built natively for Android.

This app works with any service that implements the Subsonic API, including:

note app-tempo* <- The github release with all the android auto/chromecast features

app-degoogled* <- The izzyOnDroid release that goes without any of the google stuff.

As usual, any dev contributions appreciated as I am not actually a java/mobile dev, so my progress is significantly slower than those who do this on the daily.

Big thanks to all the folks who have been contributing. We have a new icon designed but I could use some help if anyone wants to do a PR to implement it.

    Looks great, maybe this will convince me to setup a music server to free up space on my phone :) One question, does it support browsing by album artist instead of just artist? I organise my music with Picard which moves features to the artist tag, which breaks up albums when using just the artist view. Great work either way

      I use Picard to tag my music as well but it is really only responds to the servers subsonic api response at this point. I would need to dig into it a little more to get you a definitive answer.
