## What it is
Tempus is an open-source, privacy-focused music client for Subsonic-compatible servers, built natively for Android with Material 3 design. It is a fork of Tempo that streams and plays your self-hosted music library with offline support and optional ListenBrainz/Last.fm scrobbling.

## Use cases
- stream music from my subsonic server on android
- offline music player for self-hosted library
- degoogled subsonic client for android
- scrobble to last.fm from my own music server
- lightweight foss music streaming app
- play self-hosted music with android auto

## When to choose
- you self-host music with Subsonic, Navidrome, or similar and want a native Android client
- you want a FOSS, privacy-respecting player without algorithmic recommendations
- you need offline playback and scrobbling support

## When to avoid
- you need a client for Spotify or other cloud streaming services
- you want an iOS or desktop player
- you need Chromecast/Android Auto on the F-Droid degoogled variant
