Release notes

v2.3.0 — 2026-09-24

A design and polish release: a Liquid Glass bottom bar, animated artwork, finer lyrics and output control, plus a batch of navigation fixes.

New

  • Scrub the tab bar — press and slide a finger across the bottom bar; a clear glass lens follows it, lighting each tab it passes (with a haptic tick), and letting go opens the tab underneath.
  • Minimising bottom bar — scroll down and the tab bar shrinks to a single icon while the Now Playing pill tucks in between it and Search, giving the content more room. Scroll up (or tap the icon) to bring it back. Can be turned off in Settings → Minimise bar on scroll; off by default on low-RAM devices.
  • Animated artwork — releases with a looping cover video play it in Now Playing, optionally full screen. Settings let you turn it off, limit it to Wi‑Fi, or pick the artwork source.
  • Lyrics sync — nudge synced lyrics earlier/later (100 ms / 1 s steps) or tap to sync the highlighted line to now; offsets are remembered per song. Lyrics matched from a different version of a song are flagged as possibly out of sync.
  • Audio output picker — see where audio is playing and switch between speaker, Bluetooth, wired, USB, HDMI and cast outputs from Now Playing.
  • About this track — title, artist, album, duration and source (streamed, downloaded or local file).
  • More Home shelves — Daily discover, Forgotten favourites, Your artists, Albums you might have missed and More from ….
  • Settings tab in the bottom bar.

Fixes

  • Back from Now Playing returns to the album (or artist / playlist) you played from, instead of skipping back to Search.
  • The first Back press on Now Playing no longer gets swallowed (most noticeable while a song was loading).
  • The keyboard no longer pops up when you turn the screen back on after playing something from Search.

Notes

  • New permission: Nearby devices (BLUETOOTH_CONNECT, Android 12+) — optional, only used to show Bluetooth output names.
  • No database change (still schema v6) — your library carries over untouched.
  • Still not Play-shippable — GPLv3 NewPipeExtractor + YouTube ToS; personal / educational use.
