Important - Please Read:

Third-Party App: This is an independent app and is not developed, maintained, or supported by Google.

Your History Starts Fresh: Due to Google's "Now Playing" limitations, this app cannot import your existing native history. Your log starts fresh upon installation, but from that day forward, you'll never lose your history again.

Dependent on Google's Detection: This app does not recognize music itself; it logs what Google's offline "Now Playing" detects. If "Now Playing" misses a song, it won't appear. (Tip: Disabling 'Enhance Now Playing' in Pixel settings may improve detection.)

Permissions: Notification Access is required to detect songs. Location (Optional) is used only for the in-app map. Files (Optional) is used for backup/restore.

Supported Devices: Optimized for Android 16 and Google Pixel phones (Pixel 3 and newer). Fully optimized with adaptive layouts for the Pixel Tablet and PIxel Fold .
