Made for your own collection

A little intelligence.
All on your device.

LatentJam listens to the sound of your tracks and reads their tags to find connections. Your files and listening history stay with you.

  1. 01 / BRING

    Your music comes first.

    Add the music on your phone. Your files, your albums, your carefully collected favourites.

  2. 02 / CONNECT

    Let it get to know the sound.

    Small models analyse your collection in the background, on your device. The first analysis takes a little time.

  3. 03 / LISTEN

    Press play. Keep exploring.

    Start SMART from a track you love, or let For You bring something back into rotation.

It’s personal. It stays that way.

The app has no account, ads, analytics, or cloud server. Your music doesn’t need to leave your phone.

A few things to know

Do I need a subscription or an account?

No. LatentJam is free and open source under Apache 2.0. There’s no account to create and no subscription to start.

Where does the music come from?

From your own collection. LatentJam plays local music files; it doesn’t provide a streaming catalogue or download songs. On iOS you can import files or use the accessible music library.

When is SMART ready?

The app analyses your library in the background on first launch. SMART becomes useful as tracks finish indexing, so give the initial analysis some time. Playback of your local music is available while that work runs.

Can I switch between F-Droid and the GitHub APK?

They use different signing keys and cannot update one another. First export your data in Settings → Local backup, then uninstall the old build, install the new one and restore your backup.

Where can I see the source or report a problem?

The code and development notes are on GitHub. You can report a bug or suggest an improvement in the issue tracker.
