KuruBeats: Free, Open-Source Android App Plays Local Files and YouTube Music
A developer has released KuruBeats, a free and open-source Android music player licensed under GPL-3.0, designed to handle both local audio playback and YouTube Music streaming without requiring an account, serving ads, or tracking users. The app was built out of frustration with existing players that were either ad-supported, subscription-based, or visually outdated. KuruBeats is developed in Kotlin using Jetpack Compose and Material 3, and supports Material You dynamic theming, synced lyrics, song recognition, and background playback. The project is currently in beta, and anonymous YouTube Music streaming may be blocked on some networks due to platform bot-detection measures. The source code and APK downloads are publicly available on GitHub at kurupdevs/KuruBeats.
