Sailwave is a native interface for browsing and listening to radio stations streams from the community database radio-browser.info

  • Discover: top stations matched to your listening, station history and a quick search
  • Advanced search: filters for genres, languages, countries, audio quality and sorting
  • Favorites: save stations as favorites, arrange favorites as groups
  • Track history: what was playing, with album covers, album and genre (optional, via iTunes API)
  • Station info: details, votes (on radio-browser.info), similar stations
  • Player: player bar on every page, sleep timer with fade-out, app cover and lock screen controls (with Next/Prev station switching, customizable to loop within the active favourite group)
  • Backup and sync: automatic backup on the device, backups and playlists (M3U) with date and time, sharing via the share menu, optional sync with a WebDAV server (tested with Nextcloud) – the password is kept in Sailfish's secure storage Secrets
  • Privacy: no account, no tracking, no ads

Languages: English, German (native translations), French, Spanish (with help of Claude AI)

Hello,
thanks for your positive feedback and your helpful suggestion!
In the new version (1.0.1) I have now added Prev and Next media controls (see Change log).

Greetings,
Thomas

Thank you for adding it to the AppCover, but the overall system control is still missing (lock screen buttons for the prev/next station are missing for me and, consequently, car control of the app with MPRIS).

Also, a landscape mode would be awesome, as I use it like that in my car.
