Vanilla Music vs YAM
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Vanilla Music
Music player with a simple interface similar to the stock music player. Supports browsing by folder, queueing, shake-to-skip and more. Supports the same audio formats as the stock music player since the system media APIs are used. This is a fork of https://f-droid.org/packages/org.kreed.vanilla which is no longer being developed by its author. We keep that in the repo as it supports Android versions below 4.0.3.
YAM
Yet Another Metronome (YAM) is a simplistic metronome app I built as an amateur musician looking for a free, ad-free, and powerful alternative. Most apps I tried had a BPM (beats per minute) limit around 200, which felt too restrictive. I wanted something much faster, so I built it myself. * Simple and clean interface * Light and dark mode support with a quick toggle * High BPM support (up to 600) beyond typical app limits * High beat number support (up to 20) * Completely free and open-source (GPLv3 License) * Free and most importantly, no ads
