ListenTogether

ListenTogether is an open-source Android application for synchronized listening sessions. It allows one person to invite friends and keep audio playback aligned across their devices. Participants can use it while separated by distance or while sitting together in the same place. People joining a session do not necessarily need the Android application installed, because ListenTogether is also available as a Progressive Web App that opens in a browser when the app is unavailable.

The application can play almost any audio file that is publicly accessible through HTTP or HTTPS. Users add this material to a playlist by pasting the audio file’s URL. ListenTogether also supports podcast listening through an in-app search function. Podcast episodes can be found and added directly without requiring the user to provide the episode’s audio URL.

Its primary platform is Android, and it is listed in the Video & Media Players category. The category reflects its focus on playing audio, managing playlists, and coordinating playback for multiple listeners. The browser-based PWA option extends participation to people whose device does not have the Android application installed.

MirrorNest distributes ListenTogether by mirroring the official build directly on its own storage. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published. This provides catalog users with the Android build through MirrorNest while retaining the product’s open-source licensing information.
