This is a development release candidate. See tested features and known limits.
What do I need to run Aro?
An ARM64 Android phone running Android 11 or newer. Aro is currently a development release candidate; broader device compatibility is still being tested. There is no iPhone version.
Can I play music already on my phone?
Yes. Give Aro audio access and your songs appear in Library. Browse by song, artist, or album, make playlists, and play your local collection without an internet connection.
How do Spotify playlists work?
Connect Spotify to browse playlists and liked songs, or paste a playlist link into Library’s Import action. Aro matches Spotify metadata to YouTube for playback; it does not stream Spotify audio. Imports are local copies, and remote edits do not sync back. Unavailable tracks may be omitted.
Do I need to connect an account?
No account is needed for your local library. Connect a supported service only if you want its features. Library metadata, preferences, listening history, and playlist caches are stored on your device; connected services receive requests when you use them.
Where can I report a problem?
Use the project’s GitHub Issues page. Include your Android version, Aro version, and the steps that reproduce the problem. Keep passwords, session cookies, and personal account information out of reports.
