About this app

boxlore is a modern, open-source podcast client built from the ground up to showcase Jetpack Compose's full styling and interactive potential.

- Dynamic Accent Extraction: Intercepts album cover artwork, resolves visually dominant colors via the Android Palette API, boosts saturation (min 40%), and bounds lightness (25%–55%) for clean, rich ambient gradients. - Performance Optimizations: Utilizes deferred rendering of heavy below-the-fold list components during tab slides to preserve a locked 60fps refresh rate on navigation. - Vector Search & Recommendations: Combines a local SQLite FTS5 index for fast offline queries with a Qdrant Cloud vector embedding space to serve semantic recommendations.

What's new

v0.0.19Aug 24, 2026

Added
Home Your Shows Daily / Offline Mix switch, persisted as home_mix_mode, with a 15-item unfinished-download rail and queue. (#996) Added Podcast Info episode multi-selection with bulk download, played/unplayed, playback, queue, and full-feed range actions. (#997)
Fixed
One-time repair migrates legacy OPML rss: subscriptions to Podcast Index identity on exact feed-URL or GUID matches (v0.0.18/0.0.19 upgraded installs only; never loops). (#993) OPML import defers a feed on transient Podcast Index lookup failure instead of creating an RSS fallback. (#993) Now Playing widget session restore hops to the MediaController main thread. (#993) After Google Backup restore, Smart Downloads toggle and periodic mixtape sync stay aligned; missing local download artwork falls back to the show image. (#996)
