[DEV] I got tired of bloated, ad-heavy music players, so I built Soniq — a clean, lightweight offline music player (Feedback appreciated!)
Hey everyone,
Like many of you, I have a personal offline music library on my phone. Lately, it feels like almost every offline player on the Play Store has become bloated with ads, unnecessary online streaming features, heavy background tracking, or subscriptions.
I wanted something that is fast, sleek, and strictly focuses on playing local audio files with modern design principles. So, I built Soniq.
🎵 Key Highlights:
- Lightweight & Fast: Under 15MB install size, instant scanning, and battery-friendly.
- Modern UI: Clean, distraction-free interface with dynamic Material theming that adapts to your album art/system theme.
- Built-in Tag Editor: Edit track metadata and organization on the fly.
- Audio Tools: Includes a built-in sleep timer, queue management, and background playback support.
- Privacy-Focused: No shady background tracking, no accounts required, and uses modern Android media permissions.

💬 Looking for your feedback:
Since this is a fresh release, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
- What features do you feel are missing?
- Did you encounter any UI quirks or edge cases with your audio files?
I’m actively working on updates, so all suggestions and constructive criticism are welcome. Thank you!
