Same second, different phones
Share a room code and friends hear what you play. A guest who drifts plays a few percent faster or slower until they're back in step, so the music never stops to catch up.

Every cover sets the colour.
OpenBlast takes a Material palette from each cover and builds the player around it: the background, the buttons and the seek bar change with the song. The whole app can follow it too.
Glass, colour and room to breathe.
Frosted bars that let the page show through, a dock that tucks away as you scroll, and loading screens that show the shape of what's coming.
Phone, TV, computer or browser.
One player, the same lyrics, library and listening rooms, wherever you are. All of them are free and open source.
Android phones and tablets
The full app: downloads, Android Auto, widgets, USB DACs, the equalizer and every player design.
Android 8.0 or newer.
Android TV and Google TV
The same APK opens a layout made for the TV, driven by the remote: the arrows go where you expect and seek through the song. Sign in by scanning a code with your phone instead of typing on the TV.
Install the universal APK with Downloader or any file manager on the TV; OpenBlast joins the home screen's apps.
Windows, macOS and Linux
A desktop app with a sidebar, synced lyrics beside the page, the queue, and Last.fm scrobbling. On Windows 11 it draws its own title bar over Mica.
Not signed by Apple or Microsoft yet, so the first launch shows a warning. On a Mac, right-click the app and choose Open.
Also available as an .msi, a portable .zip, a .deb and an .rpm.
Web player
Nothing to install but a small browser extension, which plays the music and connects YouTube Music and Spotify. Lyrics and add-ons work without it.

An early iOS version.
Apple doesn't allow apps like OpenBlast on the App Store, so it installs through SideStore or AltStore, which sign it with your own Apple ID. Setting one of them up needs a computer once. After that, OpenBlast installs, updates and re-signs itself on the phone. Add the OpenBlast source and install it from there. iOS 16 or newer.
