Now Playing
RIKO Music Now Playing screen: album artwork, a waveform timeline with a progress handle, playback controls, and Queue, Lyrics and EQ buttons on a violet-to-indigo gradient.
Features
What it does
Only features that exist in the current build are listed. Anything still to come is labelled.
Now Playing
One screen for the song you are in: artwork, a seekable timeline, transport controls and shortcuts.
Now Playing
Large artwork, title and artist, a seekable timeline, full transport controls and quick access to Queue, Lyrics and the equalizer, all on one screen.
Artwork-driven colour
The screen takes its palette from the current track's artwork, so each song gets its own atmosphere.
A timeline that shows the song
The seek bar is the shape of the track itself, so you can find the chorus by sight.
Waveform timeline
The seek bar carries a waveform of the song, built by decoding the audio file on your device and cached for next time.
Live spectrum response
A spectrum analyser reads the playback signal inside the app to drive the aurora visuals while music plays.
Feel the timeline
The seek bar in RIKO Music is a waveform of the song. This illustration shows how it moves when you scrub.
This is an illustration of the seek timeline. It is not analysing any sound.

Privacy
Privacy at a glance
RIKO Music works on files already on your device. It has no internet permission, so it cannot send your music, listening or library to anyone. It has no ad or analytics SDKs.
- Permissions
- Read audio files
- Background playback
- Keep playing
- Notification controls
- Headset and Bluetooth events
- Haptic feedback
- Connection status
- Network
- The app does not declare the INTERNET permission, so it makes no network requests. Lyrics are read only from your files; album artwork comes from your files and device.
- Third parties
- No advertising, analytics or crash-reporting SDKs are included. Playback uses Google's open-source Media3 library, which runs entirely on the device.
