BitChord

An unofficial YouTube Music client for Android, built with Jetpack Compose. BitChord talks to YouTube Music's own web API (Innertube) directly — no official API key, no ads, no first-party app.

Features:

• Search, browse and play anything available on YouTube Music — songs, albums, artists, playlists.
• Gapless playback with true crossfade, adjustable 0–12s — two overlapping decoders on an equal-power curve, applied to manual skips as well as track ends, powered by Media3/ExoPlayer.
• Sign in with your Google account — an in-app WebView runs the real accounts.google.com login (2FA and passkeys work as normal); only the resulting session cookies are captured, never the credential itself.
• Offline downloads — save tracks to Downloads/BitChord with title/artist/album/cover art embedded directly into the file, so they read correctly in a file manager or another player, not just inside BitChord.
• Local music library — anything already on the device (or previously downloaded) is scanned in alongside what streams from YouTube Music.
• Scrobbling to Last.fm and ListenBrainz, with per-service timing/threshold controls.
• Per-network audio quality — separate quality ceilings for Wi-Fi and mobile data.
• Playback speed control (0.5×–2.0×) and skip silence.
• Synced lyrics via LRCLIB, with an optional back-gesture to dismiss the lyrics page.
• Sleep timer — fixed presets or "stop after this track".
• System equalizer integration.
• "Stats for nerds" — codec, bitrate and sample rate overlay on the now-playing screen.
• Dynamic, artwork-driven theming — a Material palette extracted from the current album art drives the now-playing background and backdrop washes across the app.
• Frosted-glass UI — Telegram-style translucent bars via Haze, Material 3 theming with light/dark/system modes.
• Background playback via a proper foreground media session (lock screen controls, notification, Android media controls).
