Features

Everything RadioScout does: discovery, library, player, personal setup and the Android shell.

Discover

Find a station in seconds

The whole radio-browser.info directory, filtered to streams that actually play.

  • Web + APK

    Worldwide directory

    The top 50 stations by votes plus full-text search with up to 50 results, in one catalogue on web and APK.

  • Web + APK

    Search + genre chips

    Name search with shareable URLs (/?q=, /?tag=), a one-tap genre rail and recent searches under the search box.

  • Web + APK

    Language filter

    Top-40 quick picks plus the full directory list. Empty means worldwide; applies to charts and results.

  • Web + APK

    Quality filter

    A minimum bitrate cutoff for search and Most loved. Saved stations always show, whatever their bitrate.

Library

Stays on your device

Favourites, history and stats live in IndexedDB on your device. No accounts, no sync, and it works offline.

  • Web + APK

    Saved favourites

    Pin stations to the top of home and drag them into order. The order survives restarts and comes along in backups.

  • Web + APK

    Recently played

    Your recent plays, latest first and capped at ten. Clearing asks first and never touches Saved.

  • Web + APK

    Listening stats

    Total time and daily averages, banked when the tab hides or the app goes to the background, even if it gets killed.

  • Web + APK

    Votes + details

    Station sheets with art, tags, a country flag, and voting with a tap. Every station gets a shareable link.

Player

A dock that stays out of the way

Gapless switches, levelled loudness and a sleep timer, with the same controls everywhere.

  • Web + APK

    Gapless switching

    The old station plays until the new stream is ready, then blends over. Rapid taps still crossfade.

  • Web + APK

    Volume + leveling

    Overlay slider with mute, plus Level volume that rides quiet stations up and loud ones down.

  • Web + APK

    Sleep timer

    Fades out and pauses after the time you pick, with the countdown in the dock.

  • Web + APK

    Surprise shuffle

    One tap plays a random station from the catalogue, next to the browse button in the empty dock.

  • Web + APK

    Quick resume

    Reopens with your last station loaded and ready, so the music is one tap away.

  • Web + APK

    Auto-reconnect

    Dropped streams retry with backoff instead of getting stuck on an error. Paused stays paused.

  • Web + APK

    Lockscreen controls

    MediaSession controls on web and notification controls on Android, with live track titles on stations that broadcast them.

Personal

Tuned to you

Theme, quick-find and a backup file that moves your whole setup between browser and APK.

  • Web + APK

    System theme

    Light, dark, or follow your device. A script in the page head sets it before first paint, so there is no flash.

  • Web + APK

    Quick Find

    A fuzzy palette across sections, pages and theme actions on Mod+K. No mouse needed.

  • Web + APK

    Radio backup

    One JSON file holds favourites, history, stats, volume, votes and filters. Download it on web, or send it through the share sheet in the Android app.

  • Web + APK

    Installable app

    Add it to your home screen from the browser and open it full-screen like any other app.

Android

Same app, native shell

The static build ships inside a Capacitor APK with background audio and zero-service updates.

  • APK only

    Background audio

    A native service keeps audio playing with the screen off, and follows redirects onto allowlisted HTTP edges.

  • APK only

    Back gesture and button

    Edge-swipe or the hardware back button steps back through pages, and exits the app at home.

  • APK only

    OTA updates

    New bundles download from GitHub Releases and apply on next launch. No store update needed.
