Wavelet 0.6.1 (Wear OS)

Wavelet is a free, open-source YouTube Music player for Wear OS watches (Wear OS 3+). It's built on Metrolist and plays music on the watch without your phone.

Website

New in 0.6.1

• Seek with your finger: drag along the progress ring on Now Playing; playback jumps there when you let go.
• Seek with the crown: tap the artwork, then turn the crown (5 seconds per step). It goes back to volume after 3 seconds.
• Uploaded music grouped into albums, the way YouTube Music groups them. Each album has Play all and Download all; All songs shows the full list.
• Uploaded songs play. YouTube only streams uploads to web clients that need a token made in a WebView, which most watches lack:
  • With the phone app installed and the phone connected, the phone makes that token in the background.
  • Without the phone, Wavelet tries YouTube's SABR stream (experimental; seeking inside these songs isn't available yet).
  • Downloaded uploads play anywhere.

Wavelet is a free, open-source YouTube Music player for Wear OS watches (Wear OS 3+). It's built on Metrolist and plays music on the watch without your phone.

Website

Fixed in 0.6.0

New in 0.6.0

• Song options (the ⋯ button on Now Playing): like the song, Up next, Shuffle, Repeat (off / all / one), Start radio, Go to artist and Download.
• Up next: see what's coming (in shuffle order when shuffle is on), tap a song to jump to it, long-press to remove it.
• Artist pages with Play, Shuffle, top songs and albums.
• Search: recent searches, related searches, and an Artists filter.
• Downloaded playlists stay in sync with YouTube Music: new songs download, removed songs are deleted, failed downloads are retried (Settings → Downloads).
• Listening history to YouTube Music when signed in, so your recommendations include what you play on the watch (Settings → Playback).
• Update notice: GitHub installs show "Update available" on Home when a new release is out.

Wavelet 0.5.0 (Wear OS)

Wavelet is a free, open-source YouTube Music player for Wear OS watches (Wear OS 3+). It's built on Metrolist and plays music on the watch without your phone.

Website

New in 0.5.0

• Play/pause from your watch face: add the "Wavelet play/pause" complication to a watch face slot. Tap it to pause or resume without opening Wavelet; with nothing queued, it plays your most recent song. It also fits small icon-only slots now.
• Play on watch speaker: when no headphones are connected, the "Connect headphones" prompt has a switch to play through the watch speaker instead. It's also in Settings → Playback.
• One version for everyone: "Sign in with a code" is removed, so GitHub and Google Play builds have the same features. If you used it, sign in again with Sign in on phone.
• Fixed: tapping a recent song on the Tile could queue it several times.
