Namida is a music and video player for Android that also plays YouTube, built with Flutter. It is for people who want one app to handle local library management, sound tuning and YouTube streaming instead of juggling several separate apps.
Developer: namidaco · License: NOASSERTION (open source) · Price: Free
Before you start: enable "Install unknown apps" for your browser or file manager in Android Settings, since Namida is installed from a downloaded APK rather than the Play Store. If you plan to use YouTube sign-in features, you will sign in with your Google account inside the app itself.

Why isn’t Namida on Google Play?
Namida is published by its developers on GitHub rather than the Play Store; it is not listed on F-Droid either.
Is Namida safe?
Namida is open source and this page points to the official release from the namidaco GitHub repository. The README does not mention an explicit license classification (listed as NOASSERTION), and as with any APK installed outside the Play Store you will need to allow installs from unknown sources; the app does request permissions for things like media access and background playback needed for its features.
How to install
- Tap the download button above: the APK file downloads straight to your phone.
- When Android asks, allow your browser to install unknown apps.
