Features

TIDAL

• Lossless streaming up to 24-bit/192 kHz where TIDAL provides it. A lossless setting never falls back to AAC. The player shows the codec, bit depth and sample rate of the source.
• Home with your mixes, radio, new releases, genres and moods. Artist and album pages with biographies, reviews and credits. Music videos with picture-in-picture.
• Your library: saved tracks, albums, artists, playlists, folders and mixes. Create and edit playlists, organise them in folders and save playlists from other people.
• Lyrics that follow the song, track and artist radio, and autoplay that keeps the music going when the queue ends.
• Downloads as tagged audio files in Music/OpenTune, offline mode, and experimental options that download a track when you save it or when it plays.

Your own music

• Add audio files, or add a folder and OpenTune keeps it in sync. On device lists everything stored on the phone, from TIDAL downloads to your own files, which carry a Local mark.
• Local files show their format, bit depth, sample rate, bitrate and location, and take their cover from the file or its folder.
• Local music plays without an account. Playlists made on the device can hold local files and TIDAL tracks.

Playback and system

• Gapless playback with a deep buffer, a queue that you reorder by dragging, shuffle that reorders the queue itself, a sleep timer, volume normalization and a setting that avoids tracks that played recently, with a page that lists them.
• Experimental: a visualizer, an equalizer, ListenBrainz, bit-perfect USB output on Android 14 and later, and automatic downloads.
• Controls in the notification, on the lock screen, on Bluetooth devices and in Android Auto. A home screen widget and voice requests such as "play Nujabes".

Your phone, your way

• Twelve themes, each with its own colours, shapes and type, and a setting that follows the device. The picker previews every theme before you choose.
• Listening statistics, and backup and restore.

Privacy

OpenTune has no ads, analytics, crash reporting or server of its own. It connects to TIDAL for music and to GitHub to check for updates, which you can turn off in Settings. Scrobbling is off by default. If you turn it on and add a token, OpenTune sends the artist, title and album of tracks you finish to the ListenBrainz server that you choose.

• You sign in on TIDAL's website in your browser. OpenTune never receives your password.
• Account tokens are stored encrypted with a key held in the Android Keystore.
• OpenTune asks for notifications, and on Android 8 and 9 for storage, to save downloads. It requests no location, contacts or microphone permissions. It reads only the files and folders that you pick with the system file picker.
• Android backup and device transfer exclude OpenTune data.

TIDAL still receives your account and streaming requests.
