N-Zik

A multilingual YouTube Music frontend for Android, focused on performance, UI/UX refinements, feature expansion, and long-term support.

N-Zik is an open-source fork of Kreate .

Note: N-Zik started as a side project. For more mature alternatives, check Metrolist , VIVI Music , or RiPlay .

AI Usage: I use generative AI for code (via BMAD Method ), reviewed and tested before shipping.

Whether casual listener or audiophile, N-Zik gives you full control over your music without compromising privacy.
