Fossify Music Player

Fossify Music Player is an open-source player for the music stored on your phone, from Fossify, the community project that took over the Simple Mobile Tools apps after they were discontinued in late 2023. It carries on from Simple Music Player, under a package name of its own, so it installs as a separate app. Fossify lists it as stable.

What it does

From the project’s website, changelog and source code:

• Browse your library by album, artist, genre, folder or track, in tabs you can hide.
• Playlists: make one from a folder or from the current queue, and import or export playlists as M3U files.
• Queue controls, shuffle and repeat, a sleep timer, and playback speed from 0.25× to 3×.
• An equalizer. In the source code it uses Android’s own equalizer effect, so the bands and presets depend on your phone.
• Tag editing: change a song’s title, artist and album, and rename the file.
• Excluded folders: audio in a folder you exclude doesn’t show up in the library.
• Widgets for the home screen, and controls on the lock screen.

Good to know

• Fossify publishes no list of supported formats. In the source code, playback goes through Google’s Media3 ExoPlayer and the phone’s own decoders, without an FFmpeg extension, so most likely the common formats play and rarer ones depend on your phone. An open bug report says MIDI files stop playback.
• There is no Android Auto support; Fossify’s maintainer has opened a feature request for it.
• The APK doesn’t request internet access, so the player only works with what is already on your phone.
• Version 1.8.1, from February 2026, is still the latest release.

About this file

• This is Fossify’s own build, delivered through IzzyOnDroid and signed by Fossify. It is byte for byte the APK on the project’s GitHub release and the one F-Droid distributes, and IzzyOnDroid and an independent builder both rebuilt it from the source code and got the same file.
• Fossify says its Google Play and F-Droid releases use the same package name and signing key, so this file can be installed over the Play version when it is the same version or newer.
• The 11.0 MB file runs on Android 8.0 and later and declares 8 permissions.

CPU types in this build: arm64-v8a (64-bit ARM, almost every phone since 2017); armeabi-v7a (32-bit ARM, older and budget phones); x86 (32-bit Intel, emulators); x86_64 (64-bit Intel, emulators and Chromebooks).

Versions currently kept in the IzzyOnDroid repository. We host and check only the newest one. Full changelog.
