NexusM companion app for Google TV and Android devices
Debug / Beta build — This is an unsigned debug APK intended for early testing. On Android, go to Settings → Security → Install unknown apps and enable installation from your browser or file manager before sideloading.
NexusM server required — The Android / Google TV app requires the latest version of NexusM (Stable 2026.07 or newer) to function correctly. Older server versions are missing updated API functions that the app depends on. Please ensure your NexusM server is up to date before using this app.
Coming to the Google Play Store soon — NexusM for Android will be available directly from the Google Play Store in the near future. In the meantime, the APK above is perfectly safe to install. When sideloading, Android's built-in Google Play Protect automatically scans the APK for security issues and malware before completing the installation, providing the same level of protection as a Play Store install.
Privacy-first — No sensitive permissions required
NexusM for Android requests no sensitive permissions. It does not access your location, microphone, camera, contacts, or local storage. The app connects only to your NexusM server and nothing else.
Network access (required)
LAN / Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet to reach your NexusM server, and internet access when connecting remotely over a VPN. Granted automatically by Android — no prompt shown to the user.
Background media playback (required)
Allows music to continue playing when the screen turns off. Uses Android's standard media session — no personal data is accessed.
Location (not requested)
NexusM never requests or uses your location.
Microphone (not requested)
NexusM never accesses your microphone or audio input.
Local storage (not requested)
NexusM does not browse, read, or write to your personal files or photo gallery. All media is streamed directly from your NexusM server.
