01 / Tune in
Less searching.
More listening.
A familiar Android experience for an endlessly interesting medium. Start exploring, build your library, and settle into a good broadcast.
Actual app screens captured on an Android emulator. Content and appearance can vary.
02 / Make yourself at home
Rich features.
Ready for everyday radio.
One tap, then carry on.
Keep listening in the background, with playback controls on your notification and lock screen.
A softer landing.
Set a sleep timer. Shape the sound with equalizer presets, and use spatial audio on supported headphones.
Your shortcuts.
Reach a station from your home screen, widget, or Quick Settings. Use Android Auto for media controls and playback links in your own routines.
A library worth building.
Save and reorder stations, import or export playlists, back up favorites, and return to recent listening and track history.
A modern foundation.
Jetpack Compose and Material 3 meet Media3 playback. Baseline profiles, release shrinking, and a streaming-focused network client keep the FOSS build tuned for Android.
03 / Open by design
Modern Android.
Security-conscious. FOSS.
This is the FOSS edition of Shoutkit: no proprietary Google services, Firebase Analytics, or Crashlytics. Preferences and saved stations stay on your device. HTTPS directory requests and modern TLS for HTTPS streams, and system certificate trust in release builds are part of its network design.

A few good questions
Before you tune in.
Is Shoutkit free and open source?
Yes. The source is available under the MIT license, and the FOSS build excludes proprietary Google services while using open-source AndroidX, Compose, Material, and Media3 libraries.
Does the FOSS build support Chromecast?
Chromecast and the Google Wearable Data Layer belong to the Play flavor. They are excluded from the FOSS build advertised here.
Does radio use mobile data?
Yes. Live streams need a network connection and can use mobile data. Use Wi-Fi when you want to avoid your mobile data allowance.
What leaves my device?
Station discovery and listening connect to directory services and broadcasters. Optional album artwork lookup sends the current artist and track title to Apple's iTunes Search. See the privacy page for details.
