AirPipe - Stream to speakers

AirPipe

About this app

AirPipe streams the audio playing on your Android device to one or more AirPlay-compatible speakers on your local network: kitchen, living room and patio, all in sync.

Features:
• stream any audio your phone is playing: music apps, video, podcasts, games.
• fan out to multiple speakers in sync (encode-once, bit-identical RTP to every destination).
• per-speaker volume sliders and mute, independent of master device volume.
• automatic discovery via mDNS/Bonjour, no manual IP entry needed.
• encrypted audio streaming: ChaCha20-Poly1305 on the AirPlay 2 path, AES-128-CBC on legacy AirPlay 1 receivers.
• edge-to-edge Material 3 design with dynamic colors on Android 12+.
• no ads, no analytics, no telemetry, no internet uploads.

Tested receivers:
• shairport-sync (Raspberry Pi and other Linux hosts)
• Sony Bravia Theater Bar
• Bose Portable Home Speaker
• Music Assistant (in Home Assistant)
• a Mac as an AirPlay receiver (accept the approval banner on the Mac when connecting)
• most modern AirPlay 2 speakers and soundbars, over native AirPlay 2 or their AirPlay 1 / RAOP compatibility path

Not supported:
• HomePod, HomePod mini, and modern Apple TV are not supported yet. They may appear in the speaker list, but the connection will fail; that receiver family needs handling we have so far only verified for Macs.

How it works: AirPipe captures the audio your Android device is currently playing using the system MediaProjection API and forwards it as encrypted RTP packets to the speakers you select. Audio is sent directly from your phone to the speaker over your local Wi-Fi. Nothing transits any server we control.

Privacy: AirPipe does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data, audio recordings, or analytics. See the full privacy policy at airpipe.app/privacy.

What’s new

• Reconnecting after a network hiccup is faster when one speaker stops responding.
• A speaker that takes a moment longer to reconnect now stays connected.
