TobiSound

TobiSound

TobiSound is a native Android music player for the libraries you already own. Point it at your self-hosted Subsonic/Navidrome or Jellyfin server, or play music straight from your device, and browse everything as one library. There is no account, no TobiSound server, no tracking, and no ads, the app only ever talks to the servers you configure.

What it does

  • Multi-backend, one library: connect Subsonic/Navidrome, Jellyfin, and local device files; browse a single merged catalog while playback always routes back to the server that owns each track.
  • Gapless playback, no silence between tracks on live albums and DJ mixes.
  • Offline downloads, keep albums and playlists on-device for listening without a connection.
  • Chromecast, stream to Cast devices on your local network.
  • Android Auto, browse and control your library from the car.
  • Android TV, a dedicated big-screen experience.
  • Scrobbling, optional listening history to ListenBrainz and/or Last.fm, only when you enable it and add your own tokens.
  • Synced lyrics, time-synced lyrics from LRCLIB and embedded tags.
  • Sleep timer, fade out and stop after a set time.
  • Home-screen widget, playback controls without opening the app.

Your server credentials stay encrypted on your device, the app collects nothing, and every network connection is one you set up yourself. → Privacy policy

Built for your own music

TobiSound is Kotlin, Jetpack Compose and media3, with a provider layer that lets one app speak to several backends behind a single, capability-aware library. It is designed for people who self-host their music and want a fast, modern, private player that never phones home.
