Note that the clients being FOSS is of little relevance because all they do is forward a recording to a blackbox proprietary service run by a for-profit company.
The code that has access to your audio and does the actual task at hand is not FOSS in the slightest.
They’re free for now because the API they use is in beta… We don’t know if it’ll remain free.
Like most things in life theres no free cpu cycles. They all have a cost somehow
It insists it need to send notifications for it to work. I get it needs the microphone, but it won’t work without notification permissions.
I don’t get this at all
The notification stays on in the background and allows you to tap it whenever you need an instant recognition…
If you ever feel limited by F-Droid, consider Obtainium. Supports F-Droid repos, and many others including straight from GitHub releases.
There’s Ambient Music Mod, “Port of Now Playing from Pixels to other Android devices”. It’s not the same, but it allows for your device to recognise popular music even while offline, possibly on a regular basis. It requires Shizuku, though.
Audile should do the trick
I love FOSS but honestly why does this need to be FOSS?
It is an app that has access to both your microphone and the internet.
If they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear. Just publish the code.
They may have nothing to hide but they have IP to protect to stay in business. What a ridiculous thing to say.
whatsapp doesn’t have the best app. It doesn’t look the best, it’s not the fastest. It was just very great back in the days. But not anymore. Whatsapp could easily publish the code. It’s not the client, it’s the server. They could even publish the server code. It’s not the code itself. It’s the people using it.
Why does it need to be proprietary?
