Yes. BeatWave is fully open-source and free of ads, tracking, or telemetry SDKs. The app is offline-first — your playback history, cached tracks, and library stay strictly on your device.
BeatWave needs read access to storage (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE or READ_MEDIA_AUDIO on Android 13+) to scan and index your local audio files — MP3, FLAC, WAV and more. It never touches your photos, videos, or personal files.
Listen Together syncs your queue and playback controls in real time with friends on the same Wi-Fi network. It uses Android's Network Service Discovery (mDNS) to link instances peer-to-peer, so nothing is routed through a cloud relay.
Tap a download button to fetch the file, then open it from your browser or file manager. If Android asks, enable "Allow installation from unknown sources" in your security settings to finish the install.
Yes. Built on Jetpack Media3 core APIs, BeatWave natively decodes lossless FLAC and WAV alongside standard compressed formats for full-fidelity playback.
