Why Navis
Navis connects straight to your own music server. There's no Navis account, no tracking and no cloud in between. It keeps your library on the device, so browsing is instant and playback keeps going when the network doesn't.
🎧 Playback done right
Gapless playback and crossfade, an equalizer (simple, 10-band or fully parametric) with AutoEQ headphone profiles, speed and pitch controls, ReplayGain, and synced lyrics.
📥 Offline first
Permanent downloads, a smart rolling cache and an offline mode. Your library stays browsable with no connection at all.
📻 Discover more
Personal Radio, Instant Mix, ListenBrainz Weekly Jams & Exploration, Deezer new releases and "This Is" playlists, all matched to songs on your server.
🎨 Make it yours
Light, Dark and OLED, four Color Styles, colours taken from the album art, saved Looks, corner and density options, and Flat Surfaces.
🚗 Everywhere you listen
Android Auto, lock-screen and notification controls, Windows media controls, Linux MPRIS, desktop keyboard shortcuts and a Mini Player.
🔒 Private by design
Every online service has its own switch. Turn off Online services and Navis only ever talks to your server.

Official downloads are served from Porthorion's Cloudflare R2 storage (downloads.porthorion.com). Each GitHub release carries identical copies plus a SHA256SUMS file, so you can check any download with sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS. Navis updates itself from a signed release manifest.
Works with Navidrome, the server Navis is developed and tested against, and other Subsonic / OpenSubsonic servers such as Gonic and Airsonic-Advanced. If your server misbehaves, please tell us.
Build from source
You need Flutter 3.47.5+ (stable) and the toolchain for your platform: Android SDK, Linux desktop packages, or Visual Studio + Rust for Windows. Details are in the development workflow.
git clone https://github.com/Porthorion/Navis.git
cd Navis
./tool/bootstrap.sh # once: checks Flutter and resolves dependencies
flutter run # on a connected device or desktop
./tool/check.sh # format, codegen, analysis, dead code and tests
Contributing
Bug reports, ideas and pull requests are all welcome. Please read CONTRIBUTING.md first. Pull requests target dev, and ./tool/check.sh must pass.
Pull requests are invited after an issue: open one first, and a maintainer will say whether and how to send a patch (see CONTRIBUTING.md).
