About Ad-Free

Ad-free is an ad audio blocker for Android.

This app is a research project attempting to show flaws in the way how

audio advertisement is shown on Android. It is a proof-of-concept of a

modularized audio ad blocker written in Kotlin with a modern and

simplistic user interface.

- Support for Spotify (Lite), Soundcloud, Deezer, Accuradio

- No root required

- Plugin based design

- Mute audio when ads are playing

- Play arbitrary audio

You can pick from one of three options to play instead of the ad:

1. Mute audio

2. Local music files

3. Interdimensional Cable from Rick and Morty (discontinued)

Browse https://adfree.abertschi.ch for more information.
