N-Zik is a multilingual fork of Kreate, built with performance improvements, UI/UX refinement, bug fixes, and new features in mind with long-term support.

N-Zik may not yet be as stable as the original Kreate, so feel free to use it or other solid alternatives like Metrolist, VIVI Music, or RiPlay if you need a more mature option (RiPlay doesn't have download / cache feature).

N-Zik is a side project I originally built for myself and friends, not chasing glory. It's grown a bit since then, which is cool.

I use generative AI to assist with code, structured with the BMAD Method, but everything gets reviewed and tested before it's pushed. I'm not shipping blind.

If AI-assisted development isn't your thing, no hard feelings, there are plenty of great alternatives.

โณ Only Android Lockdown days remaining until Android Lockdown

Starting in September 2026 January 2027 See why the date changed here, Google will require identity verification for all Android developers, including those distributing applications outside of Google Play.

As a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) project, Nโ€‘Zik and his developer opposes this requirement due to its impact on developer privacy, independent distribution, and software freedom.
