Audile is a free, open-source Android app for identifying music playing nearby. It uses AudD, ACRCloud, and Shazam for recognition, then retrieves platform-specific track links through Odesli. Recognition can start in one click, or users can save a recording for recognition after the device reconnects to the internet. Shortcuts are available through the notification drawer, a home screen widget, a floating button, and a quick settings tile. Track details can include title, artist, album, release year, artwork, lyrics, and music-service links. Its library stores recognized tracks and supports search, filtering, favorites, and deletion. Audile says it does not track or profile users and does not use ads, tracking, or analytics services. AudD and ACRCloud receive 3–10 second recordings; Shazam receives only audio fingerprints generated on the device. AudD requires a paid service token, and recognition without one is significantly restricted and not guaranteed. The listed Android requirement is version 8.0 or later.
Who it is for
Audile may suit Android users who want to identify nearby music, save recognition history, and find links to music services. Users who rely on AudD should note its token requirement.
