ARCHIVED REPO
This repo is no longer being worked on, there is now an official fork of Otter by the Funkwhale project. Find it here.
Otter for Funkwhale
This is my personal fork of Otter for Funkwhale. I'm planning to work on several improvements to Otter here, including but not limited to:
- Improvements to the offline experience or the situation when the connected funkwhale instance is down
- Some UI changes
- Extra sorting capabilities
- Easier downloading of favorited tracks
- Embedded lyrics support
I'll see how much of this I can manage to implement, if you have any ideas or suggestions that aren't too large feel free to ask me (: If you're curious about Otter in general read the project readme below!
Otter is a native Android music player for Funkwhale, native to both Android (developed in Kotlin) and to Funkwhale (uses its native API instead of Subsonic).
You can get help and discuss Otter on Matrix on #otter:matrix.org.
State
A beta version of the app can be downloaded on Google Play, on IzzySoft (F-Droid-compatible repository) or through GitHub releases. Please bear with it, there will be bugs, there will be crashes and there will be performance or UX issues.
Otter's features, as of this writing, are the following:
- Basic collection browsing (artists, albums and tracks)
- Playlists listing
- Favorites management (listing and add/remove)
- Track search
- Queue management
- Caching of played tracks (played tracks work offline)
- Download tracks for offline playback
- Radios playback
- Dark mode! 🎉
Otter will try to behave as you would expect a mobile music player to, meaning integrating with the OS's media controls (including headset controls) or pause on incoming calls. If there is anything you would like it to do, please open an issue.

Translation
Otter is being translated by the community through Weblate. If you would like to contribute to its localization or add a new language, you can help out there.
Thanks to the Funkwhale project for hosting us on their instance.
