Editor's Overview

Linthra is a local media player application developed by TheZupZup, packaged as a single Android APK of version 0.2 weighing in at 21.27 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 21.27 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "TheZupZup" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Linthra is an open-source Android music player for people who keep their music on
their own devices or self-hosted servers. It plays local files, and it streams
from self-hosted music servers such as Jellyfin and Navidrome/Subsonic — you
bring your own server and sign in with your own account.

Linthra is an unofficial community client. It is not affiliated with Jellyfin,
Navidrome, or Subsonic.

The app is still early alpha. It's usable for testing on a real device, but it
isn't production-stable and has a few rough edges. The lists below separate what
works today from what's still planned.

On privacy:

* No ads, no tracking, no analytics, and no crash-reporting or telemetry SDK.
* No account to create, and nothing phones home — streaming is the default, and
downloads only happen when you ask for them (Wi-Fi only unless you opt in to
mobile data).
* When you sign in to a server, the password is used once to get a session
token, then dropped; the token is stored encrypted and never logged.
* Open-source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, so
anyone can read, build, and contribute to it.

What works today:

* Local library — pick a folder with the Storage Access Framework (no broad
storage permission), scan it, and browse Songs, Albums, and Artists with
search.
* Streaming from your own Jellyfin or Navidrome / Subsonic server: test the
connection, sign in, sync, and play, including over HTTPS.
* A smart offline cache — download tracks for offline play, with a size limit
and a "Keep offline" pin.
* Queue / Up Next, playlists and favourites (synced with Jellyfin where it's
supported), and automatic "smart mixes" built from on-device signals.
* Background playback with a media notification and lock-screen, Bluetooth, and
wired-headset controls, plus shuffle / repeat and synced lyrics.
* Android Auto browsing, and casting to a Chromecast, speaker, or TV through a
pure-Dart Cast implementation (no Google Play Services).

Still to come:

* Reading tags and album art from local files (for now they show file names).
* Subsonic favourites, lyrics, and cover art, and fuller playlist sync.
* "Download all" for an album or playlist.
* More sources, such as WebDAV / NAS, behind the same interface.
* A Linux desktop build later, from the same codebase.

Linthra is distributed for testing as a sideloaded APK from GitHub Releases. It
isn't on F-Droid or Google Play yet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Linthra free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Linthra require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Linthra safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by TheZupZup. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Linthra?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
