Features - Offline-first — all metadata synced to a local Room database. Music downloads with configurable WiFi-only and storage caps - Android Auto — full browse tree, playback - Background playback — MediaLibraryService with proper foreground service lifecycle on Android 12+ - Lyrics — synced LRC with tap-to-seek - Responsive — single-column on phones, nav rail + multi-column on tablets, landscape layouts - Battery-aware — GPU shader album backdrops pause when battery is low Built with Emu Mellow was developed and tested using Emu, an Android emulator companion tool. ▶️ Watch the demo · Try Emu Emu provides device mirroring, MCP tools for automation, Android Auto projection, battery/network mocking, and quality video recording — all of which were used daily while building this app. The Android Auto implementation was tested entirely through Emu's built-in AA projection (no DHU or real car needed). Offline mode was verified by toggling network profiles. Battery-aware animations were tested by setting battery level to any value on demand. See the full demo videos in the blog post.
