- Multi-band Equalizer with presets and a live response curve
- Auto Level — measures each song's loudness (RMS / peak / gated) and evens out the volume across your whole library, so nothing is jarringly loud or quiet

Arotify is for anyone who keeps a collection of their own music files and wants to just simply transfer everything to a offline app with a similar feeling in experience with no price.
- Install the app on your Android device.
- On first launch, grant audio / storage permission so Arotify can read your music.
- Open Files → (Your Music Folder) and pick the folder where your songs live.
- Arotify scans the folder and builds your library — head to Home or Library and hit play.
💡 On some phones, allowing Arotify to ignore battery optimization so background loudness/visualizer precomputation isn't paused while the screen is off. can be turned off later (I had some issues having it run in the background)
Arotify is built with Flutter / Dart and targets Android.
Key packages: just_audio, audio_service, audio_session (playback & background service) · on_audio_query & audiotags (library scanning + tag editing) · hive & shared_preferences (storage) · palette_generator (art-based theming) · permission_handler · file_picker. A native Android channel handles waveform/loudness analysis.

Arotify requests only what it needs:
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Read audio / storage | To find and play your music files |
| Foreground service / wake lock | Background playback & loudness precomputation |
| Internet | Fetching new releases & artist info from the Deezer API |
| Ignore battery optimization (optional) | Keeps background processing alive |
everything is open sourced you can tweak and remove things if you want
Things such as creating Playlists, Lyrics, Sleep timer, Queuing songs individually, Genre / year filters etc. are features I personally never use and are not in this app. other things like car play or connecting to 'auto' devices were never tested. it is only for listening from mobile devices even though it has a visualizer on it for fun and I like colors.
Note : Arotify plays music you already own. It does not stream or download copyrighted audio. This app was made for my device if you have bugs on your device I will not be mainting this project so much. I made this because spotify is annoying and lacked some features I only use it to discover music on desktop but mobile is a pain. THIS IS A PERSONAL PROJECT!
